Question

In my app I need to tag my photo/posts. Is this possible using social framework or Should I use Facebook-sdk for this?. Also can I get friends list from social framework? any help to achieve this?

Answer 1

Tagging a photo or post can only be done using the FacebookSDK for iOS while getting your friends list is possible using both the SocialFramework and the FacebookSDK for iOS.

You can use this code to get your friends list using the SocialFramework.

- (void)getFbFriends
{
    ACAccountStore *store = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init];

    ACAccountType *facebookTypeAccount = [store accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];
    NSDictionary *options = @{
                              ACFacebookAppIdKey: facebookAppId,
                              ACFacebookPermissionsKey: @[@"email"],
                              ACFacebookAudienceKey: ACFacebookAudienceFriends
                              };

    [store requestAccessToAccountsWithType:facebookTypeAccount
                                   options:options
                                completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error){
                                    if(granted)
                                    {
                                        NSArray *accounts = [store accountsWithAccountType:facebookTypeAccount];
                                        ACAccount *facebookAccount = [accounts lastObject];

                                        merequest.account = facebookAccount;

                                        NSURL *requestURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends"];

                                                                                          URL:requestURL parameters:@{@"fields":@"id,name,picture,first_name,last_name,gender"}];
