Feed dialog generating errors with iOS SDK

Question

UPDATE: This problem was resolved when facebook fixed their service.

I'm trying to get the feed dialog to work for sharing with facebook. I had it all working before with the old, deprecated API and SDK, but have just moved to using the current iPhone SDK and am trying an example directly from the documenation here;

I keep getting the error, "Error with publishing" "There was a problem generating the Feed story from the provided data" and I cannot see what I'm doing wrong. Note that I have taken out the message parameter as it was deprecated in July, but I get the same problem whether or not that parameter is present.

Facebook *facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:kFacebookAppId andDelegate:self];


NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               kFacebookAppId, @"app_id",
                               @"https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/", @"link",
                               @"http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg", @"picture",
                               @"Facebook Dialogs", @"name",
                               @"Reference Documentation", @"caption",
                               @"Using Dialogs to interact with users.", @"description",
                               nil];   

[facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];

Can anyone see what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

Maybe posting on http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/ can have more effect : http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/7585400/ios-publishing-on-feed-no-more-functionnal — ıɾuǝʞ, Sep 28 '11 at 15:08
Pretty sure that's where I posted it ... but it seems that it appears on the main SO site as well. — Roger, Sep 28 '11 at 15:16
As an update, Facebook have assigned this as a high priority bug according to feedback on the developer bug report that was posted earlier. I'm unclear as to why this post has now been deleted, but if you are a facebook developer you can track the status on bug 295765603772094. — Roger, Sep 28 '11 at 15:20

Facebook now reporting that the issue is resolved. Seems to work for me now. – Roger Sep 29 '11 at 09:33
It now works for Android too. Would you mind checking if the cancel button works fine though ? Mine just refreshes the publish dialog, does not take it back to my app. – Abhinav Manchanda Sep 29 '11 at 10:58

I don't think you are doing something wrong.

Just experienced the same problem with with my working app.

Most likely an issue on the side of facebook

Thanks for the confirmation - such a pain when this happens at the point of trying to develop something! – Roger Sep 28 '11 at 09:55
I'm facing a similar issue on my Android application. I guess they have deprecated some APIs, cannot say for sure though. – Abhinav Manchanda Sep 28 '11 at 13:05
Same issue here, haven't gotten this before. – avocade Sep 28 '11 at 19:09

You can use direct REST API or Graph API calls that are working now.
