Feed Dialog not working on iOS SDK 3.0 beta (API error code 110)

I am updating my app to use the new Facebook SDK for iOS (3.0). However, I have run across an issue trying to use the feed dialog. I followed the instructions on Facebook's developer website regarding how to use the feed dialog with the new SDK, but I am getting this error when I show the dialog:

API Error Code: 110
API Error Description: Invalid user id
Error Message: Missing user cookie (to validate session user)

Here is my code:

Facebook *facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:FBSession.activeSession.appID andDelegate:nil];

facebook.accessToken = FBSession.activeSession.accessToken;
facebook.expirationDate = FBSession.activeSession.expirationDate;

NSMutableDictionary *feedParams = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

[feedParams setObject:self.video.alternateLink.href
               forKey:@"link"];
// link title = video title
[feedParams setObject:self.video.title.stringValue
               forKey:@"name"];
// link picture = video thumbnail
[feedParams setObject:self.video.mediaGroup.highQualityThumbnail.URLString
               forKey:@"picture"];

NSDictionary *privacyDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"CUSTOM", @"value", @"SELF", @"friends", nil];
SBJSON *jsonWriter = [[SBJSON alloc] init];

[feedParams setObject:[jsonWriter stringWithObject:privacyDict error:NULL]
               forKey:@"privacy"];

[jsonWriter release];

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

[feedParams release];

self.facebook = facebook;
[facebook release];

It seems like an authentication problem, but I am passing a valid access token to the Facebook object, so I'm not sure what the problem is. If anybody could help me, that would be great. Thanks.

You may use FBSession.activeSession when integrating with the legacy Facebook class, as you have shown. One possible gotcha when you use activeSession, rather than directly instantiating a session object, is that it may not be open. Here is a simple sample that shows the form for integrating the Facebook class with active session:

if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
    // Create a Facebook instance
    Facebook *facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:FBSession.activeSession.appID
                                             andDelegate:nil]; // commonly self

    // Set the session information for the Facebook instance
    facebook.accessToken = FBSession.activeSession.accessToken;
    facebook.expirationDate = FBSession.activeSession.expirationDate;

    // Put together the dialog parameters
    NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                   @"I'm using the the Facebook SDK for iOS", @"name",
                                   @"Facebook for iOS", @"caption",
                                   @"Check out the Facebook SDK for iOS!", @"description",
                                   @"https://developers.facebook.com/ios", @"link",
                                   @"http://www.facebookmobileweb.com/hackbook/img/facebook_icon_large.png", @"picture",
                                   nil];

    // Invoke the dialog
    [facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:nil];

    [facebook release];
}

If the active session is not open, then you would get a failure along the lines of what you are seeing. A call along the lines of the following, somewhere earlier in your logic remedy this:

[FBSession openActiveSessionWithAllowLoginUI:YES];

Hope this helps!
