Post on personal Facebook wall using ios sdk and tag multiple friends at once..?

I am trying to post a message on my wall and wanted to tag multiple users at a time in this post. I tried the various options on the FB post page but couldn't do it. May be I am not doing it right. Any help is appreciated and this is how I am doing it...

NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               @"Test 2",@"message",
                               @"100004311843201,1039844409", @"to",
                               nil];
[self.appDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:@"me/feed" andParams:params andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self];

I have also tried message_tags but that doesn't seem to work as well.

If you followed the tutorial on how to setup Open Graph for iOS, you can do something like this if you use the friendsPickerController:

// Create an action
id<FBOpenGraphAction> action = (id<FBOpenGraphAction>)[FBGraphObject graphObject];

//Iterate over selected friends
if ([friendPickerController.selection count] > 0) {
    NSMutableArray *temp = [NSMutableArray new];
    for (id<FBGraphUser> user in self.friendPickerController.selection) {
        NSLog(@"Friend selected: %@", user.name);
        [temp addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", user.id]];
    }
    [action setTags:temp];
}

Basically, you can set an array of friend's ids on the "tags" property on an action

To tag a friend in ur fb status ..you need "facebook id" of your friend by using FBFriendPickerViewController and "place id" using FBPlacePickerViewController. Following code will help you.

NSString *apiPath = nil;

apiPath = @"me/feed";

if(![self.selectedPlaceID isEqualToString:@""]) {

    [params setObject:_selectedPlaceID forKey:@"place"];

}

NSString *tag  = nil;
if(mSelectedFriends != nil){
    for (NSDictionary *user in mSelectedFriends) {
        tag = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",[user objectForKey:@"id"] ];

        [tags addObject:tag];

    }

    NSString *friendIdsSeparation=[tags componentsJoinedByString:@","];
    NSString *friendIds = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"[%@]",friendIdsSeparation ];

    [params setObject:friendIds forKey:@"tags"];
}

FBRequest *request = [[[FBRequest alloc] initWithSession:_fbSession graphPath:apiPath parameters:params HTTPMethod:@"POST"] autorelease];

[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    [SVProgressHUD dismiss];

    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"Error ===== %@",error.description);
        if (_delegate != nil) {
            [_delegate facebookConnectFail:error requestType:FBRequestTypePostOnWall];
        }else{
            NSLog(@"Error ===== %@",error.description);
        }


    }else{

        if (_delegate != nil) {
            [_delegate faceboookConnectSuccess:self requestType:FBRequestTypePostOnWall];
        }
    }

You would need to use Open Graph to tag people with a message. The me/feed Graph API endpoint doesn't support this.

Mentions Tagging https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/opengraph/mention-tagging/

Action Tagging: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/opengraph/publish-action/

You can take a look at the Scrumptious sample app that comes included with the latest Facebook SDK for iOS to see how to do this.
