Facebook SDK: Knowing if sharing took place

I am sharing a link from my app using code from HelloFacebookSample, but I can't figure out how to know if sharing actually took place. I use this for sharing:

FBAppCall *appCall = [FBDialogs presentShareDialogWithLink:urlToShare
                                                      name:@"Hello Facebook"
                                                   caption:nil
                                               description:@"The 'Hello Facebook' sample application showcases simple Facebook integration."
                                                   picture:nil
                                               clientState:nil
                                                   handler:^(FBAppCall *call, NSDictionary *results, NSError *error) {
                                                       if (error) {
                                                           NSLog(@"Error: %@", error.description);
                                                       } else {
                                                           NSLog(@"Success!");
                                                       }
                                                       NSLog(@"Results: %@",results);
                                                   }];

and that works fine. The problem is accessing the results dictionary. I figured out that I need to add this to the app delegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
  sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
         annotation:(id)annotation {
  // attempt to extract a token from the url
  return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url
                sourceApplication:sourceApplication
                  fallbackHandler:^(FBAppCall *call) {
                    NSLog(@"In fallback handler");
                  }];
}

Otherwise the handler isn't run at all. The weird thing now is that in the sample app the results dictionary has two fields, 

completionGesture = cancel;
didComplete = 1;

but when I use the exact same code in my own app, on the same phone, the dictionary only contains

didComplete = 1;

Why is that, and is there some other way to find out if the user shared or cancelled?

See this section here on what you can expect in the result dictionary, and why only some values are available:
