SLServiceTypeFacebook setInitialText is not working


It seems to be a problem having installed the latest Facebook app update (v29). Removing it "fixes" the problem.

Update (Jun. 3, 2015)

Well. It seems that the new Facebook policy says that prefilling a message through setInitialText: is a prefill violation.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/prefill

So I guess the only way to share content from now on is the FBSDKShareDialog

Gotta love the efficiencies of Facebook. Am a bit late on this but may help someone out.

#import <FBSDKShareKit/FBSDKShareKit.h>FBSDKShareLinkContent  *content = [[FBSDKShareLinkContent alloc] init];content.contentURL = self.urlForSocialMedia;content.contentDescription = self.textForFB;content.contentTitle = @"Results.";[FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:self                             withContent:content                                delegate:self];


Before setInitialText add # before this test. Code below. It is working for me

SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];    [mySLComposerSheet setInitialText:@"#myInitialTextIsHere"];    [mySLComposerSheet addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];    [mySLComposerSheet setCompletionHandler:^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result) {        switch (result) {            case SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled:                NSLog(@"Post Canceled");                break;            case SLComposeViewControllerResultDone:                NSLog(@"Post Sucessful");                break;            default:                break;        }    }];    [self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
