iOS中的Facebook App请求（不使用对话框）

Question

I need to send a request throw my app to user's friends in Facebook (After the app on Facebook is authorized) I know there is a way to do it through the SDK :

[self.facebook dialog:@"apprequests" andParams:params andDelegate:nil];

But I don't need that way to show the dialog I just need to be able to send the request in the background when the user select the friend from (Table View for example).

Is this possible?

The Facebook Dialog API has not been updated (yet, hopefully). You can't bypass the dialog the way you want to do it. But, you can :

1. preselect the friends with your own GUI and gives the apprequest the selected facebook ids. This way, the dialog is just to confirm the request.

2. activate the frictionless parameter, to avoid the dialog the next time you send the request for the same selected friends (the confirm dialog seems to show anyway, though, and immediately disappear, it gives a not-so-nice blink on the screen).

here's the related documentation, in case you need it : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/send-requests-using-ios-sdk/
