Facebook Connect is now available for iPhone, allowing you to integrate the power of Facebook Platform into your iPhone app. Enable your users to...
- Seamlessly connect their Facebook account and information with your iPhone app
- Connect and share experiences with friends who also use your iPhone app
- Share user information and actions on your iPhone app with friends on Facebook
Trusted Authentication
Users can connect their Facebook accounts with any iPhone app using our simplified and trusted authentication. Whether at login, or anywhere else a developer would like to add social context, the user can authenticate and connect their account in a trusted environment. The user will have total control of the permissions granted, including offline access, status updates and email addresses. On iPhone, authentication can occur in both Portrait and Landscape orientations.
Real Identity
Facebook users represent themselves with their real names and real identities. With Facebook Connect, users can bring their real identity information to their iPhone, including basic profile information, profile picture, name, friends, photos, events, groups, and more.
Friends List
People count on Facebook to stay connected to their friends and family. With Facebook Connect, they can take their friends with them wherever they take their iPhone. Developers can add rich social experiences to their apps, from playing games with friends, to seeing their movie recommendations, chatting during live sports games, and many more.
Dynamic Privacy
The users' privacy settings follow them, ensuring that user information and privacy rules are always up to date. For example, if a user changes their profile picture, or removes a friend connection, this will be automatically updated in the app. And the users can control who can see what pieces of their information - the same rules that they set on Facebook can be applied in your app using our dynamic privacy controls.
Social Distribution
As a user interacts with apps, they discover interesting content, share information about themselves, and engage in a lot of experiences. With Facebook Connect, users can easily share and distribute this information and actions to their friends via Facebook Feed stories and status updates. Social Distribution provides a new way to spread the word about your app, driving additional downloads.
How it Works
Connect for iPhone is a Cocoa library that you add to your iPhone app client. It provides authentication, extended permissions and Feed form functionality. iPhone styled "Connect with Facebook" and "Logout " buttons are provided to include in your app. Facebook Platform automatic ally handles user authentication and distribution of Feed stories.
