Open Facebook page from iOS game

Question

I'm creating a facebook game and I want to have a button which let user open my facebook page, however, when I open my page url: https://www.facebook.com/Spiritbomb.co

It just opens the native Facebook app but does not redirect to my page. I tried this url on Safari and it works just fine. Anyone experienced with this could help me please?

You want to open your page in safari? Or you want something that will display you page in the app? — Rashad, Feb 18 '14 at 07:38

Try using NSURL

NSUrl *aUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"your facebook url"]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

I found out that this type of url doesn't work https://www.facebook.com/Spiritbomb.co (What I mean by "doesn't work" is that open this URL in an iOS app will only launch the FB native app, but does not redirect you to the desired Page)

You need to find your Facebook Page ID and use this URL: https://www.facebook.com/YOUR_FB_PAGE_ID In my case, this URL works: https://www.facebook.com/690543054295905

How to find your FB Page ID: Go to your FB Page, click Edit Page -> Update Page Info Then scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll find your FB page ID there.

Thanks for all the help, guys.
