SLServiceTypeFacebook setInitialText is not working

Question

I am trying to share a text on Facebook with SLServiceTypeFacebook on IOS 8.3. But the popup text box displayed empty. I want it to be displayed with text in it. Below you can see the code I use for that.

 if([SLComposeViewController isAvailableForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook])   {        SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];         [controller setInitialText:@"First post from my iPhone app"];        [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:Nil];   } 

Answer 1

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.

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];
