  1. POFacebook iOS SDK: Cannot specify an album using FBRequest's requestForUploadPhoto:
    text
    copied!<p>I have a local photo in my iPhone app, and I want to upload it to a specific album on Facebook dedicated to my app.</p> <p><strong>Problem:</strong> My app name ends with the word 'Photos', so the default Facebook album is <code>APP_NAME Photos Photos</code> - obviously a problem.</p> <p><strong>Goal:</strong> I want to create a new album, store its ID in <code>NSUserDefaults</code>, and (after some validation at runtime) use it for all future photos being uploaded from the app.</p> <p><strong>Where I'm at:</strong> I can make the new album via Open Graph, using my desired name and description, and I can retrieve its ID. I can also upload photos easily enough. However, what I CANNOT figure out is how to specify where that uploaded photo ends up!</p> <p><strong>Code:</strong> Here's my photo upload code with some results commented in. I'm assuming this is where my problem is, since album creation, etc, is working perfectly.</p> <pre><code>- (void)postPhotosToFacebook:(NSArray *)photos withAlbumID:(NSString *)albumID { // Just testing with one image for now; I'll get in to multiple later.. UIImage *image = [photos lastObject]; FBRequest *imageUploadRequest = [FBRequest requestForUploadPhoto:image]; // CALL OUT: I'm guessing my problem is here - but I just don't know! [[imageUploadRequest parameters] setValue:albumID forKey:@"album"]; DebugLog(@"imageUploadRequest parameters: %@",[imageUploadRequest parameters]); // Results of DebugLog: // imageUploadRequest parameters: { // album = 10151057144449632; // picture = "&lt;UIImage: 0xc6b6920&gt;"; // } // The album data returns correctly using FB's Graph API explorer tool, // so I know it's a legit album. // https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer FBRequestConnection *connection = [[FBRequestConnection alloc] init]; [connection addRequest:imageUploadRequest completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) { if (!error) { DebugLog(@"Photo uploaded successfuly! %@",result); // Results of DebugLog: // // Photo uploaded successfuly! { // id = 10151057147399632; // "post_id" = "511304631_10151057094374632"; // } // Again, the photo at that ID shows up correctly, etc - // BUT it's in the wrong album! It shows up in the default app album. } else { DebugLog(@"Photo uploaded failed :( %@",error.userInfo); } }]; [connection start]; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Guesses:</strong> I'm guessing my problem is somewhere in how I'm assigning my album ID parameter to the image request.. but I have no clue.</p> <p>You can see at <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sdk-reference/iossdk/3.0/class/FBRequest/#//api/name/requestForUploadPhoto%3a" rel="nofollow">this URL</a> that this should be possible..</p>
