    Modified

    • FBSession support for the native Login Dialog iOS 6 is still the default login dialog. People who have Facebook version 6.0 (or greater) will see the native Login Dialog. People on older versions of the Facebook app will continue to see the web-based Login Dialog.

    • FBRequest and FBRequestConnection helpers for Object API. SDK 3.5 supports the new Open Graph APIs that let apps create, read, update, and delete Open Graph objects. New methods on FBRequest and FBRequestConnection help make these API calls:

      • requestForPostOpenGraphObjectWithType
      • requestForPostOpenGraphObject
      • requestForUpdateOpenGraphObjectWithId
      • requestForUploadStagingResourceWithImage
      • requestForDeleteObject
      • startForPostOpenGraphObject
      • startForPostOpenGraphObjectWithType
      • startForUpdateOpenGraphObject
      • startForUpdateOpenGraphObjectWithId
      • startForUploadStagingResourceWithImage

    For more information, see FBRequest and FBRequestConnection;

    • FBRequest and FBRequestConnection support for reading a Custom Audience API

      • requestForCustomAudienceThirdPartyID
      • startForCustomAudienceThirdPartyID

    • FBSettings has several BetaFeature methods

    • The image property on FBOpenGraphAction changed from type NSArray to id

    • FBSBJSON has been removed with the update to iOS 5.0 as the minimum supported version.

    Added

    • FBDialogs addition of present* and can* methods for sharing Open Graph actions, links, and status updates

      • canPresentShareDialogWithParams
      • presentShareDialogWithParams
      • presentShareDialogWithLink
      • canPresentShareDialogWithOpenGraphActionParams
      • presentShareDialogWithOpenGraphActionParams
      • presentShareDialogWithOpenGraphAction

    • FBAppCall is a new class that apps use to consistently handle "open URL" events sent to an app from the Facebook app. Open URL events are used to send an app:

      • a response to opening the Login Dialog (for apps using Facebook Login)
      • deep links (when people click on stories from the app in the News Feed or on Timeline) > Instances are used to handle calls that cross app boundaries, and the FBAppCall type is general plumbing for calls between apps.

    • Richer support for deep links using FBAppCall

      Once an app uses FBAppCall to handle cross app calls in the handleOpenURL method of the app delegate, the handling code uses the FBAppLinkData class to read data from the URL used to open the app. FBAppLinkData handles parsing the incoming URLs and provides strongly typed access to data on App Links, including the target_url field of deep links.

    • FBGraphObject updates for Object API

      FBGraphObject includes updates to support the Object API. To create an instance of an Open Graph object that your app can create using [FBRequest startForPostOpenGraphObject], use:

    [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];

    For example:

    NSMutableDictionary<FBOpenGraphObject> *object = [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];
object[@"type"] = @"books.book";
object[@"title"] = @"Snow Crash";
object[@"image"] = @"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/Snowcrash.jpg";
object[@"url"] = @"https://example.com/book-app/books/Snow-Crash";

    Your app may load an FBGraphObject from local storage on an iOS device, and may change that object's state during routine app execution. To correctly create an FBOpenGraphObject using [FBRequest startForPostOpenGraphObject] or other similar methods, your app needs to mark the object as "provisioned for post" using: 

    object.provisionedForPost = YES;

    Here's a complete example that creates an object, marks it as provisioned for post, and creates it:

    NSMutableDictionary<FBOpenGraphObject> *object = [FBGraphObject openGraphObjectForPost];
object.provisionedForPost = YES;
object[@"type"] = @"books.book";
object[@"title"] = @"Snow Crash";
object[@"image"] = @"TODO";
object[@"url"] = @"https://example.com/book-app/books/Snow-Crash";

[FBRequestConnection startForPostOpenGraphObject:object
                               completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
                                   if(error) {
                                       NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
                                   } else {
                                       NSLog(@"Success");
                                   }
                               }];

    • Adds FBErrorUtility public API and makes the -ObjC linker flag optional SDK 3.2 included improved support for handling errors and required apps to use the –ObjC linker flag to access these new APIs. The –ObjC linker flag is still supported but is no longer required to use the new error handling APIs. Apps can use FBErrorUtility without

    • Adds Rock Paper Scissors sample app The Rock Paper Scissors sample apps shows how to use app-owned Open Graph objects and how to use the native Share Dialog from an app that doesn't require use of Facebook Login to publish Open Graph actions.

    • Add photo upload support to Scrumptious sample app Scrumptious has been updated to show how to use the image staging service and how to create person-owned Open Graph objects.

    Fixed

    • No changes

    Other

    • New setup instructions The SDK setup instructions have been simplified and just require apps to import frameworks and configure three settings in the .plist.

    • Security.framework is now required The Security framework is now required and helps secure cross app calls made to / from the Facebook app.

    • Removes BooleanOG and Hackbook samples These samples have been removed in favor of Rock Paper Scissors and to streamline the number of samples included in the SDK.

    • Removes support for iOS 4.* Facebook 6.0 dropped support for iOS 4.x. To stay in sync, the Facebook SDK also does not support iOS 4.x.

    v3.2 - February 25, 2013

    facebook-ios-sdk-3.2.pkg - Facebook SDK 3.2 for iOS

    Modified

    • FBSession properties accessToken, expirationDate and loginType have been deprecated. Instead use the new accessTokenData property to access this info.

    • FBSession methods reauthorize* have been deprecated, instead use the requestNew* methods.

    • Improved error handling logic, including handling various iOS 6 cases.

    • The Scrumptious sample now uses FBLoginViewfor authentication. The sample has also been modified to show best practices in handling errors during authorization and calling Facebook APIs.

    • Samples migrated from the deprecated APIs. The -ObjC linker flag added to all samples.

    • Implicit logging added to provide Facebook Insights to events such as launching/dismissing the native share sheet, launching/dismissing the native Login dialog, friend picker usage, and place picker usage. A new advanced setting in the App Dashboard named Mobile SDK Insights, allows you to turn off the implicit logging which is on by default.

    • FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy methods to operate with FBAccessTokenData:

      • nullCacheInstance - class method that returns an FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy instance that does not perform any caching. One scenario where this is useful is importing an access token using the openFromAccessTokenData method on an FBSession instance that is not initialized from cache. The nullCacheInstance can be used to create the required FBSession instance.
      • cacheFBAccessTokenData: - method used to cache a token represented by FBAccessTokenData.
      • fetchFBAccessTokenData - method used to fetch a cached token.

    • FBPlacePickerViewController method updateView to allow a place picker refresh without a network roundtrip.

    • FBLoginViewDelegate method loginView:handleError: to notify the delegate of communication or authorization errors.

    • FBSettings method publishInstall:withHandler: enables defining a handler to process server response when publishing an attributed install for Mobile App Install Ads analytics.

    Added

    • iOS 6 Login support.

    • FBNativeDialogs class to support the iOS6 SLComposeViewController social share controller.

    • FBsession class methods to separate out permission requests into read and publish when opening or reauthorizing sessions:

      • openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:allowLoginUI:completionHandler: - opens an active session with the requested read permissions.
      • openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions:defaultAudience:allowLoginUI:completionHandler: - opens an active session with the requested publish permissions.
      • reauthorizeWithReadPermissions:completionHandler: - reauthorizes a session with the additional requested read permissions.
      • reauthorizeWithPublishPermissions:defaultAudience:completionHandler: - reauthorizes a session with the additional requested publish permissions.

    • Global migration support to enable shielding of apps from breaking server-side changes and maintain app stability. As an example, if the FBFriendPickerViewController data request results in a server response that is a breaking change, the Facebook SDK now has hooks to maintain stability and revert to getting the non-breaking data response.

    • FBGraphUserLocation protocol to represent a person's location.
