I may be a little late. Hope this helps.

You have to use the Accounts framework and the Social framework to share with your app name. First make sure you have set up your App on Facebook correctly. Then you can use the Facebook App ID to share your posts through your app.

Here is a sample code that shows you how to use the Accounts framework with the Social Framework :

    ACAccountType * facebookAccountType = [self.accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];

    // At first, we only ask for the basic read permission
    NSArray * permissions = @[@"email"];

    NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"275485699289493", ACFacebookAppIdKey, permissions, ACFacebookPermissionsKey, ACFacebookAudienceOnlyMe, ACFacebookAudienceKey, nil];

    NSArray *accounts = [self.accountStore accountsWithAccountType:facebookAccountType];
    //it will always be the last object with single sign on
    self.facebookAccount = [accounts lastObject];

    [self.accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:facebookAccountType options:dict completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
        if (granted && error == nil) {
            /**
             * The user granted us the basic read permission.
             * Now we can ask for more permissions
             **/
            NSArray *readPermissions = @[ @"publish_actions"];
            [dict setObject:readPermissions forKey: ACFacebookPermissionsKey];

            [self.accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:facebookAccountType options:dict completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
                if(granted && error == nil) {


                    NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"message": @"This Should Work Perfectly !! "};

                    NSURL *feedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed"];

                    SLRequest *feedRequest = [SLRequest
                                              requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook
                                              requestMethod:SLRequestMethodPOST
                                              URL:feedURL
                                              parameters:parameters];

                    feedRequest.account = self.facebookAccount;

                    [feedRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, 
                                                             NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
                     {
                         // Handle response
                     }];

                } else {
                    NSLog(@"error is: %@",[error description]);
                }
            }];
        } else {
            NSLog(@"error is: %@",[error description]);
        }
    }];
}
