Upload Image to Facebook Objective-C

Question

I'm currently trying to upload an image from my Mac application to Facebook. To do this, I'd like for the user to simply input his username and password, and to click a button.

The only issue is, Facebook doesn't actually have an API for the Mac, it only has one for iOS. This shouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that to login, you must use a web view, something I'm not to keen on doing, since I'd like the interface to be two simple text fields.

I've also looked into PHFacebook, a class I found online, but it also seems to utilize an NSWebView.

I'm wondering if there's a security issue when you use text fields; indeed, it's slightly strange no available API offers this function !

So, to conclude, is it possible, or is there an API, that lets you upload an image and lets you provide the user's credentials through simple NSStrings?

Answer 1

There's a Cocoa framework called MKAbeFook that lets you access Facebook APIs. I don't know if it's up to date, but you should give it a try.

Answer 2

您可以在Mac应用程序上通过JSON进行此操作，但我认为Facebook协议的工作方式只是提供要上传的图像，然后用户通过Webview登录其Facebook帐户并必须对其进行授权。

Answer 3

It looks like this is not supported unless you can embed a web browser.

If you scroll to the bottom of: facebook authentication docs , it seems to say this.

Embedding a web browser is generally doable, but may be overkill for what you are trying to do.

Good luck!
