Facebook iOS SDK 3.1 from Github missing FacebookSDK.framework

Question

I want to use Facebook SDK on XCode 4.5 for integration with iOS6.

I read this tutorial. I was using this .dmg package to install the library but I need to track and read the implementation of some methods, so I noticed that there is a repo on Github with the current source code.

My problem is that I don't know how to install this properly as with the package .dmg. Any ideas on how to do it? I tried to just import the src folder and reference the whole project but I'm having a lot of issues, warnings and errors.

Update

I had to do this again, so now I made it work. Here is what I did:

I tried both ways, building the source code (1) and importing the files directly(2). On the first scenario it was easy, on the root folder of Github repo just run:

sudo scripts/build_framework.sh

You will get the files needed, the same that you get when installing with .pkg. But I needed to track the functions, so I tried to importing the files.

First I added the src folders from the Github repo on my project. I had an issue with duplicated definitions on every file. The problem was on my Build Settings (BS), I was still referencing to the .pkg install directory of Facebook so I had the files duplicated. I removed every reference to that folder on BS and then added the files.

After that, on the files that imported the Facebook files I got:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386

When I copied the files to XCode, the .m files where not automatically added to the Build Phases / Compile Sources. I added them manually and imported FBConnect.h on my files.

Hope it helps some one with the same issue.

Answer 1

If you include the FacebookSDK via git, you will need to build the framework. Run the following command from within the FacebookSDK directory:

scripts/build_framework.sh

Then, FacebookSDK.framework will appear in FacebookSDK/build

Answer 2

Add the entire src folder to your project. Import FBConnect.h in any class where you want to use Facebook. The connect class imports the rest of the necessary classes.

#import "FBConnect.h"
