I noticed you can share NSData video to facebook messenger simply:
NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:localVideoUrl];
[FBSDKMessengerSharer shareVideo:videoData withOptions:options];
But I’m having difficulties doing the same when sharing to facebook feed
using local video file or phasset.
FBSDKShareVideo *video = [FBSDKShareVideo videoWithVideoURL:localVideoUrl];
FBSDKShareVideoContent *content = [[FBSDKShareVideoContent alloc] init];
[content setVideo: video];
[FBSDKShareDialog showFromViewController:nil withContent:content delegate:self];
com.facebook.sdk:FBSDKErrorDeveloperMessageKey=Only asset file URLs are allowed for the native dialog
How would I go about having similar nice app-switching behavior using phasset video?
Thanks!
With the new Facebook SDK 4.0, videos must be passed as assets URL. You have to copy your local video path to Assets Library and use that generated URL to share on Facebook.
Step 1:
NSURL *videoURL=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"IMG_1007" ofType:@"mp4"]];
[self saveToCameraRoll:videoURL];
Step 2:
- (void)saveToCameraRoll:(NSURL *)srcURL
{
NSLog(@"srcURL: %@", srcURL);
ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibraryWriteVideoCompletionBlock videoWriteCompletionBlock =
^(NSURL *newURL, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog( @"Error writing image with metadata to Photo Library: %@", error );
} else {
NSLog( @"Wrote image with metadata to Photo Library %@", newURL.absoluteString);
url_new = newURL;
}
};
if ([library videoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL])
{
[library writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL
completionBlock:videoWriteCompletionBlock];
}
}
Step 3:
FBSDKShareDialog *shareDialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];
NSURL *videoURL = url_new;
FBSDKShareVideo *video = [[FBSDKShareVideo alloc] init];
video.videoURL = videoURL;
FBSDKShareVideoContent *content = [[FBSDKShareVideoContent alloc] init];
content.video = video;
shareDialog.shareContent = content;
shareDialog.delegate = self;
[shareDialog show];
If you have any other query please let me know.
Thanks!
Please check: 1)The videos must be less than 12MB in size. 2)People who share should have Facebook for iOS client installed, version 26.0 or higher.
You should use the below line:
NSURL *movieUrl = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL];
instead of
NSURL *movieUrl = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
