Share an app with Friends with Corona sdk free version

Question

I am trying to share my app created in corona sdk free version in facebook. But no working example found on internet. It seems there is a change in facebook api or policy. Does any one have created app in corona sdk with facebook integration recently ? Can any one provide me referece to the way we can integrate the facebook.

I found another question sharing my app through facebook in corona Sdk but the link provided in answer is down. It would be greate= help.

Is there any update in facebook API ? as I am getting response null every time. can any one provide working example reference created recently ?

I tried the example provided by krs in following answer but it is not working for me. https://developer.coronalabs.com/content/facebook when I click on any of the feature like post Msg it goes to facebook page and after some processing it directly comes to the home page again nothing gets done. In log I ma getting response null.

following is screenshot of error.

any help will be great help to me.

EDIT

I had tried a lot but the same issue is there. I think facebook app configuration problem is there. Can anyone provide detailed step by step information to configure an app and generate build in corona ? I am giving another 100 point bounty for this.

I hope this helps make a lua file and copy this code name it whatever you want

local facebook = require "facebook"
local json = require "json"

local _M = {}

local appId = "" -- put your app id string here

local message = ""
local access_token = ""
local fbCommand = ""

local LOGOUT = 1
local SHOW_DIALOG = 2
local POST_MSG = 3
local POST_PHOTO = 4
local GET_USER_INFO = 5
local GET_PLATFORM_INFO = 6

function showPopup(popupTitle,popupMessage)
    native.showAlert( popupTitle, popupMessage, {"OK"} )
end


function listener( event )
    if ( "session" == event.type ) then

        if ( "login" ~= event.phase ) then
            showPopup("Facebook share score failed!", "Please try again")
            return
        end

        print(access_token)
        access_token = event.token


        if fbCommand == GET_USER_INFO then
            facebook.request("me")
        elseif fbCommand == POST_MSG then

            facebook.request("me/feed", "POST"  , {message = message} )
        end
    elseif ( "request" == event.type ) then
        local response = event.response

        print("Response: ",response)

        if ( not event.isError ) then
            if fbCommand == GET_USER_INFO then
                response = json.decode( event.response )
            elseif fbCommand == POST_MSG then
                showPopup("Facebook share score", "You've successfully shared your score!")
            end
        else
            showPopup("Facebook share score failed!", "Please try again")
        end
    end
end

function _M:postToWall(msg)
    message = msg
    fbCommand = POST_MSG
    facebook.login( appId, listener, {"publish_stream"} )
end

function _M:shareGame()
    message = "Juggler http://google.com/"
    fbCommand = POST_MSG
    facebook.login( appId, listener, {"publish_stream"} )
end

return _M

and when you want to share on use this function

  local function FacebookShare(event)

        if event.phase == "began" then
            local FBManager
            local message

            FBManager = require( "Facebook" )
            message = "" -- your message
            FBManager:postToWall(message)
        end
    end

if user is not login it will call login facebook. this works for me hope it solve your problem
