I'm not sure what you exactly want to do, but it seems you might be confused.

The FBSDKMessengerSharer lets you share content from your app, into Messenger. The content can be (animated) images, audio and video. So for example: if you have an app with images, you can let somebody share that image with somebody else, via Messenger.

The FBSDKMessengerSharer does not let you share applications/download links. For that, you can use App Requests or Game Requests.

On the other hand, the Messenger API lets you share and reply content from within Messenger. Your application can share to Messenger and people will be able to,

  1. Reply with your app, If they have installed the app as well,
  2. Install the App, if they not have done so yet.

These kind of apps are typically "reaction" apps; (animated) images that are nice in chat-threads.

I hope this clarifies the possibilities for you.
