Why don't you use UIActivityController for such functionality?

Example:

    let shareItems = [
        "Hey! I scored \(String(describing: UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "TOTAL_SCORE")!)) in Test. This is really interesting! You can also try.",
        URL(string: "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/test-app/i?ls=1&mt=8"),
        UIImage(named: "AppIcon")] //Add the items you want to share in this array

    let activityViewController = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: shareItems, applicationActivities: nil)

    self.present(activityViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

They either use the Scores/Achievements API, or they create individual URLs for each result that serve the right OG meta data to show the result in title/description/thumbnail ... – CBroe Aug 08 '17 at 07:21

According to Facebook's 2.3 policy rules, you can't share pre-filled content because of policy violation. Facebook does not allow you to share the pre-filled user message parameters with any content the user didn't entered himself.

If you want to share content on Facebook then user has to write/enter himself in Facebook prompt message dialog.
