SDKs for Facebook
Facebook's official SDKs help you deeply integrate with Facebook to build great social apps. Using an SDK is not always necessary, but if you're building on a platform for which an official SDK exists, we recommend you use it.
As well as the SDKs listed below, there are a range of resources and services available in the Facebook Technology Partners section.
Official Facebook SDKs
Facebook SDK for iOS
-
The iOS SDK provides first-class Facebook Platform support for native iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch apps written in Objective-C. You can integrate authentication, call the Graph API and display Dialogs. The SDK is open source and is available on GitHub.
Facebook SDK for Android
-
The Android SDK brings the Facebook Platform to native Android apps. We have added new native UI controls, simplified session management and added better support for APIs. The SDK is open source and is available on GitHub.
Facebook SDK for JavaScript
-
The JavaScript SDK enables your desktop web and mobile web apps to access all of the features of the Graph API and Dialogs via JavaScript. It provides a rich set of client-side functionality for authentication and rendering the XFBML versions of our Social Plugins.
Facebook SDK for PHP
-
This SDK provides Facebook Platform support to your PHP-based apps. This library helps you add Authentication and Graph API support to your desktop web or mobile web app. The PHP SDK also integrates with the Javascript SDK to provide seamless server-side and client-side authentication. The SDK is open source and is available on GitHub.
Third-Party SDKs
Facebook's official SDKs help you integrate common Facebook features into apps on popular platforms and technologies. You don't have to use an official SDK; we just recommend it when you're using a platform with an official SDK.
