Mobila Hack iOS Demo

This README will guide you through the Mobile Hack iOS app demo. The iOS app package contains the initial app and the completed app. The initial app is your starting point for the demo steps. You can use the completed app as a reference if you run into any issues.

This README will walk you through the following:

Getting Started
Creating your Facebook app
Installing the iOS app
Stepping through the demo

Getting Started

Your install package should have the following files:

MobileHack iOS Project (iOS)
- Xcode project containing the initial app
MobileHackComplete iOS Project (iOS)
- Xcode project containing the completed app

To get the sample code do the following:

Install Git.

Pull the samples package from GitHub:

       git clone git://github.com/fbsamples/ios-best-practices

Creating your Facebook app

First set up a Facebook app using the Developer app:

Create a new Facebook app
Enter the App Namespace when creating your app. You can choose a simple string to identify your app, such as ''mobilehack'', but it must be unique.

Installing the iOS app

Configuring the app

Using Xcode open up MobileHackComplete/MobileHack.xcodeproj (the completed project).
Set up the Facebook iOS SDK:
1. Get the latest Facebook iOS SDK from GitHub: git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git
2. You should see a folder called facebook-ios-sdk/src that contains the SDK
3. Drag the src folder to the MobileHack project. You may choose to copy the items over into your project.
4. (Optional) Delete the facebook-ios-sdk.xcodeproj and facebook_ios_sdk_Prefix.pch from the Xcode project.
Set up your App ID:
1. Open up AppDelegate.m and replace "YOUR_APP_ID" with your Facebook app ID:
```
   static NSString *kAppId = @"YOUR_APP_ID";
```
2. Open up Supporting Files/MobileHack-Info.plist
3. Navigate to URL types > Item 0 > URL Schemes > Item 0
4. Replace fbYOUR_APP_ID with "fb" followed by your app ID, e.g. fb123456 if your app ID is 123456
Repeat steps (1) and (2) for the MobileHack/MobileHack.xcodeproj Xcode project (the initial demo project).

Stepping through the demo

Using Xcode open up MobileHack/MobileHack.xcodeproj (the initial demo project)

Add Facebook Authentication

App Delegate Header ….

Import the Facebook library headers and add to the app delegate
```
      #import "FBConnect.h"
```

Add a property definition for Facebook

      @property (nonatomic, retain) Facebook *facebook;

App Delegate Implementation File …

Add a reference to the Facebook app ID, use your app ID for the "YOUR_APP_ID" parameter below.
```
      static NSString *kAppId = @"YOUR_APP_ID";
```
Synthesize the Facebook property
```
      @synthesize facebook;
```
Release the facebook property in the dealloc method
```
      [facebook release];
```
Initialize Facebook instance in the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method just before the end of the method.
```
      facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:kAppId andDelegate:self];
      return YES;
```

App Delegate Header File ...

Add to header that this class will conform to the Facebook session delegate handler
```
      FBSessionDelegate
```
Declare methods that will be called when the login or logout is clicked
```
      - (void) login;
      - (void) logout;
```

App Delegate Implementation File …

Implement the login and logout SDK calls

      - (void) login {
          [facebook authorize:nil];
      }

      - (void) logout {
          [facebook logout];
      }

View Controller Implementation File …

Import the App Delegate header
```
      #import "AppDelegate.h"
```

Modify the authButtonClicked: method to check the Facebook session to decide whether to call the app delegate's login or logout method.

      - (IBAction)authButtonClicked:(id)sender {
          AppDelegate *delegate = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
          if ([[delegate facebook] isSessionValid]) {
              [delegate logout];
          } else {
              [delegate login];
          }
      }

App Delegate Implementation ...

Set up the entry point back into the app to make sure SSO works correctly

      // Pre 4.2 support
      - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
          return [facebook handleOpenURL:url]; 
      }

      // For 4.2+ support
      - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
        sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
          return [facebook handleOpenURL:url]; 
      }

Add the session delegate method implementations (change text and buttons)

      // Implement session delegate methods
      - (void)fbDidLogin {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Welcome ...";
 		 [self.viewController.authButton 
 		     setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LogoutNormal.png"] 
 		     forState:UIControlStateNormal];
      }

      - (void)fbDidLogout {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Login to Continue";
 		 [self.viewController.authButton 
 		     setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LoginWithFacebookNormal.png"] 
 		     forState:UIControlStateNormal];
      }

      - (void)fbDidNotLogin:(BOOL)cancelled {
      }

      - (void)fbDidExtendToken:(NSString*)accessToken
        expiresAt:(NSDate*)expiresAt {
      }


      - (void)fbSessionInvalidated {
      }

App Info Plist file ...

Set up your App ID:
1. Add a new property, a URL types property
2. Open up URL types > Item 0
3. Change Item 0's child property to a URL Schemes type
4. Navigate to URL types > Item 0 > URL Schemes > Item 0
5. Add the value for Item 0 to fbYOUR_APP_ID with "fb" followed by your app ID, e.g. fb123456 if your app ID is 123456

Add a Personal Touch

App Delegate Header File ...

Add to header that this class will conform to the Facebook session delegate handler
```
      FBRequestDelegate
```

App Delegate Implementation ...

Define the API call method to get a user's name information

      - (void)apiGraphMe {

          NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                            @"name",  @"fields",
                            nil];
          [facebook requestWithGraphPath:@"me" andParams:params andDelegate:self];
      }

Define API call method and implement successful API callback handler

      - (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result {
          if ([result isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]] && ([result count] > 0)) {
              result = [result objectAtIndex:0];
          }
          if ([result objectForKey:@"name"]) {
              self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text =
                  [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Welcome %@",
                      [result objectForKey:@"name"]];
          }
      }

Modify the Facebook sessions log in delegate handler to make the call to the API to get user info

      // Implement session delegate methods
      - (void)fbDidLogin {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Welcome ...";
      [self.viewController.authButton 
          setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LogoutNormal.png"] 
 	 forState:UIControlStateNormal];

          // Personalize
          [self apiGraphMe];
      }

Single Sign-On Best Practices - Distribution

Dev App Settings …

Edit your Dev app Basic Settings to add the Native iOS App settings:

Enter a value for the iPhone App Store ID. The value must correspond to any valid iTunes app ID.
Enter "0" in the iPad App Store ID setting
Enable the Configured for iOS SSO setting

Single Sign-On Best Practices - Remove Interstitial SSO Screen

Dev App Settings …

Edit your Dev app Basic Settings to add the Native iOS App settings:

Enter a iOS Bundle ID. This bundle ID needs to match the Bundle identifier in the Xcode project.

Single Sign-On Best Practices - Store Sessions

App Delegate Implementation File …

Modify the session delegate method implementations (store, clear, and refresh session info)

      // Implement session delegate methods
      - (void)fbDidLogin {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Welcome ...";
 		 [self.viewController.authButton 
 		     setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LogoutNormal.png"] 
 		     forState:UIControlStateNormal];

          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          [defaults setObject:[facebook accessToken] forKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
          [defaults setObject:[facebook expirationDate] forKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          [defaults synchronize];

          // Personalize
          [self apiGraphMe];

      }

      - (void)fbDidLogout {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Login to Continue";
 		 [self.viewController.authButton 
 		     setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LoginWithFacebookNormal.png"] 
 		     forState:UIControlStateNormal];

          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          [defaults removeObjectForKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
          [defaults removeObjectForKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          [defaults synchronize];
      }

      - (void)fbDidExtendToken:(NSString*)accessToken
        expiresAt:(NSDate*)expiresAt {
          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          [defaults setObject:accessToken forKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
          [defaults setObject:expiresAt forKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          [defaults synchronize];
      }

When app first starts check session status and show logged in or logged out states, put this in code after Facebook instance initialized

          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          if ([defaults objectForKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"] 
              && [defaults objectForKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"]) {
              facebook.accessToken = [defaults objectForKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
              facebook.expirationDate = [defaults objectForKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          }
          if ([facebook isSessionValid]) {
              [self fbDidLogin];
          } else {
              [self fbDidLogout];
          }

Extend the user's session when the app is activated

          - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
          {
              [facebook extendAccessTokenIfNeeded];
          }

Deep Linking

App Delegate Header File ...

Add that the app delegate conforms to Facebook Dialog Delegate
```
      FBDialogDelegate
```
Add method that View Controller will call to invoke the dialog
```
      - (void) post;
```

App Delegate Implementation File ...

Add method call

      - (void) post {
          NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                            @"I'm using the Mobile Hack iOS app", @"name",
                            @"Mobile Hack for iOS.", @"caption",
                            @"Check out Mobile Hack for iOS to learn how you can make your iOS apps social using Facebook Platform.", @"description",
                            @"http://www.tunedon.com/texto", @"link",
                            nil];


          [facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];
      }

Add the success post feed handler

      - (NSDictionary*)parseURLParams:(NSString *)query {
      	NSArray *pairs = [query componentsSeparatedByString:@"&"];
      	NSMutableDictionary *params = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] autorelease];
      	for (NSString *pair in pairs) {
      		NSArray *kv = [pair componentsSeparatedByString:@"="];
      		NSString *val =
              [[kv objectAtIndex:1]
               stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
 
      		[params setObject:val forKey:[kv objectAtIndex:0]];
      	}
         return params;
      }

      - (void)dialogCompleteWithUrl:(NSURL *)url {
          if (![url query]) {
              NSLog(@"User canceled dialog or there was an error");
              return;
          }

          NSDictionary *params = [self parseURLParams:[url query]];
          if ([params valueForKey:@"post_id"]) {
              // Successful feed posts will return a post_id parameter
              NSLog(@"Feed post ID: %@", [params valueForKey:@"post_id"]);
          }
      }

Show or hide the post button depending on if the user is logged out or logged in

      - (void)fbDidLogin {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Welcome ...";
          [self.viewController.authButton 
           setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LogoutNormal.png"] 
           forState:UIControlStateNormal];


          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          [defaults setObject:[facebook accessToken] forKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
          [defaults setObject:[facebook expirationDate] forKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          [defaults synchronize];

          // Personalize
          [self apiGraphMe];
          
          // Show the post button
          [self.viewController.postButton setHidden:NO];
          
      }

      - (void)fbDidLogout {
          self.viewController.welcomeLabel.text = @"Login to Continue";
          [self.viewController.authButton 
           setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"FBConnect.bundle/images/LoginWithFacebookNormal.png"] 
           forState:UIControlStateNormal];


          NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
          [defaults removeObjectForKey:@"FBAccessTokenKey"];
          [defaults removeObjectForKey:@"FBExpirationDateKey"];
          [defaults synchronize];
          
          // Hide the post button
          [self.viewController.postButton setHidden:YES];
      }

View Controller Implementation File ...

Implement the post button "click" action handler

      - (IBAction)postButtonClicked:(id)sender {
          AppDelegate *delegate = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
          if ([[delegate facebook] isSessionValid]) {
              [delegate post];
          }
      }

App Delegate Implementation File ...

Add a method that will be invoked when a URL is opened that will check for a deep link

      - (void) checkDeepLink: (NSURL *) url {
          // To check for a deep link, first parse the incoming URL
          // to look for a target_url parameter
          NSString *query = [url fragment];
          NSDictionary *params = [self parseURLParams:query];
          // Check if target URL exists
          NSString *targetURLString = [params valueForKey:@"target_url"];
          if (targetURLString) {
              UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] 
                       initWithTitle:@"Deep Link!" 
                       message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Incoming: %@", targetURLString]
                       delegate:nil 
                       cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" 
                       otherButtonTitles:nil, 
                       nil];
              [alert show];
              [alert release];
          }
      }

Call the new method added in the app delegate methods that handle an incoming URL

      // Pre 4.2 support
      - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url {
          [self checkDeepLink:url];
          return [facebook handleOpenURL:url]; 
      }

      // For 4.2+ support
      - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
        sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
          [self checkDeepLink:url];
          return [facebook handleOpenURL:url]; 
      }
