Stream live video via iOS to facebook

Is it possible to stream a live video on Facebook from iOS app ? I've searched the iOS SDK but didn't found anything related. After searching further I've found that I can POST cURL 

curl -k -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/$your_userid_or_pageid/live_videos \
-F "access_token=$your_user_or_page_token" \
-F "published=true"

and a process should be followed after this. Dose this mean that I need a middle server between client App and Facebook to get the stream and stream it to Facebook ?

In iOS, you should use [FBSDKGraphRequest initWithGraphPath:parameters:HTTPMethod] to get the RTMP streaming address according to Facebook doc

Facebook offers a Live Video API in their SDK, you can find that here: Facebook Live Video API

Delivering your stream to the Facebook Server's is the difficult part. I suggest using the VideoCore API for delivery, just edit the destination information.
