March 2013 Breaking Changes

The following changes can be enabled/disabled using the "March 2013 Breaking Changes" migration until March 6th when they will go into effect permanently for everyone:

No more accessing mailbox FQL tables without a user session
It will not longer be possible to access the message, thread, or mailbox_folder FQL tables without a user session.
Removing apps from /me/accounts/ and page_admin FQL table
We will no longer show apps under /me/accounts/ in the Graph API or in the page_admin FQL table. You can access the list of apps a user is a developer on by hitting /me/applications/developer/ or using the app_role FQL table.
Removing redirect to docs when hitting graph.facebook.com
We will no longer return a redirect to the Graph API docs when hitting the URL http(s)://graph.facebook.com with no path.

Facebook SDK 3.2 for iOS 26 Februari pukul 4:00 Published by Jason Clark

Download the 3.2 SDK now.
We’re happy to announce an update to the Facebook SDK for iOS that makes it easier and faster to develop Facebook integrated iOS apps. We’ve also revamped the iOS Dev Center so you can quickly access the tools and resources you need to build great social apps.
The 3.2 release addresses some of the most requested improvements and adds support for better analytics making it easier to build, distribute and promote your app. These features include:

Better Mobile Analytics

Access to meaningful analytics data can go a long way towards understanding how people use your apps. We’ve added support for measuring additional usage metrics and optimizing ads to help improve your app’s quality and monetization potential.

• App Usage Metrics: We’ve enabled additional metrics such as iOS 6 native share sheet and built-in native UI controls usage that can now be logged through our SDK. We've also added support for showing these metrics on App Insights to help you understand how people are interacting with your app.
• Ads Optimization: Similar to our current conversion measurement product for websites, we are currently working on a solution for native iOS apps. Integrating with our SDK will let you log conversion events from your apps. Conversion measurement helps businesses measure and optimize the return on investment of their Facebook Ads by reporting on the actions people take after viewing those ads.
• Purchase Events (Beta): We're previewing support for logging in-app purchase events with select partners.

Enhanced Error Handling

We've enabled SDK support and documentation for all classes of error responses, which will significantly improve your SDK integration experience. The SDK will now automatically categorize errors by common application handling behavior and provide helpers to simplify some common error response cases. In addition, the SDK will automatically handle a larger number of error cases including various iOS 6 cases such as password changes and expired tokens.

Improved Web Dialog Support

This release adds support for integrating web dialogs, Feed Dialog and Requests Dialog, without invoking deprecated headers making it cleaner and easier to add dialogs into your app.

API Improvements

We’re adding a new FBAccessTokenData type, which encapsulates token data information such as token string, permissions, expiration date, etc. to make it easier to open a session from token data explicitly. This allows you to better handle app and deep linking as well.
This update also includes bug fixes that improve stability and is backwards compatible. Please share your feedback with us on Facebook's StackOverflow page with the tag: facebook-ios-sdk. Start developing today to take advantage of these powerful new tools and resources.
Download the 3.2 SDK now.
