the only way of doing it is using server side script for publishing on friends feed

you can use the Graph API to POST to the friend's feed by issuing a POST request to the /PROFILE_ID/feed scope (while PROFILE_ID is the friend's facebook id - or username) furher information on: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts (under create segment)

in order to publish on multiple friends feeds - you need to do this in a loop (highly not recommended - facebook automated rating doesn't like it because it seems like spam, and your application might get blocked)

another way (instead of loop in your code) is using the batch request concept as described in here for creating multiple graph api calls at once

in order to publish post on befhalf of the user he will have to grant you with publish_stream permission (or even better - publish_actions). further details about extended permissions can be found here - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/

EDIT: Since February 2013 it is no longer possible to post on other users wall through the graph API. So you can see this answer as not relevant anymore

No you can't do multiple post via IOS FB SDK. Even though the docs say that you can use "To" parameter of the api, its not allowing to post on multiple walls with single call.

Instead you need to do it in multiple calls. Or you can send a Notification via Game requests to multiple users. But posting on walls seems to be not possible at the moment.

  • That bug report was about the 'send' dialog - and isn't a bug, it's intentional behaviour – Igy Aug 17 '12 at 14:13

    Actually its the same with feed dialog as well.At the moment i was unable to find that bug report. Will update once i find it.btw according to Send dialog docs we can send multiple posts but its not possible according to the bug reported. (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/) – Ayyappa Aug 17 '12 at 14:23
  • Feed dialog also isn't supposed to have multiple recipients. even posting multiple stories simultaneously used to be expressly against policy, though now it's simply enforced by the spam systems and technically allowed. – Igy Aug 17 '12 at 14:24
  • @IGY : you are right regarding feed dialog. Let me correct my answer.Thanks for the info. – Ayyappa Aug 17 '12 at 14:29
