Publish message to friend's wall from iPhone app

I would like my iPhone app to be able to post a static message to a user's friend's facebook wall. Something like it shows the static message up above, and then a place to type in friends name and shows suggested friends. Is this done through graph api, or is there a key of permissions that the POST method can use?

you first need to request the friend list and then provide an interface in your app where user could select which friend's wall he want to write on... :) afterwards, you can pass the selected friends id to the dialog you are presenting to the user... Atleast I am used to do it this way and it seems to be a pretty standard way of publishing something on user's wall... hope it helps

Looks like this might be what you are after.

From the link:

"You just have to send your friend's Facebook ID as a parameter under the key "target_id".

set a parameter under the key @"target_id" on the parameters dictionary (when invoking dialog:andParams:andDelegate: on the Facebook object).

Here you have a sample post using the new sdk (the one that uses graph api):

    NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[params setObject:@"Some text" forKey:@"user_message_prompt"];
[params setObject:@"another text" forKey:@"action_links"];
[params setObject:@"Yet another text" forKey:@"attachment"];
[params setObject:@"SOME FACEBOOK ID" forKey:@"target_id"];

//At some point you need to create the following Facebook instance

[facebook dialog: @"stream.publish"
    andParams: params
    andDelegate: self];
