Answer 1

I encountered the same problem today.

Installing this plugin using the plugin register does not work (for iOS) at the moment.

You must clone the repository (phonegap-facebook-plugin) to your local file system, say $HOME/src/phonegap-facebook-plugin. And then install the plugin pointing to that path, e.g. cordova plugin add $HOME/src/phonegap-facebook-plugin ...

It turns out that FacebookSDK.framework isn't installed properly when fetching through the plugin registry. It should look like this:

$ ls -l plugins/com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect/platforms/ios/FacebookSDK.framework/
total 24
lrwx------  1 mjl  staff   24 Aug 15 15:23 FacebookSDK -> ./Versions/A/FacebookSDK
lrwx------  1 mjl  staff   20 Aug 15 15:23 Headers -> ./Versions/A/Headers
lrwx------  1 mjl  staff   22 Aug 15 15:23 Resources -> ./Versions/A/Resources
drwx------  4 mjl  staff  136 Aug 15 15:23 Versions

But the symlinks aren't preserved when installing through the plugin registry... They are preserved when installing from the local file system though.

Answer 2

I had solved it by installing the plugin using --save option.

in my case I had downloaded the plugin to my computer and what I did is :

cordova plugin add --save <my downloaded plugin directory> --variable APP_ID=<app_id> --variable APP_NAME=<app_name>

The required file will be listed same as @mjl's result from ls -l plugins/com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect/platforms/ios/FacebookSDK.framework/

P/S: if you are using iTerm, you can drag the folder into your iTerm terminal and the full directory path will be type in automatically.
