Open Facebook Page in Native Facebook iOS App Via Simple Url Sheme Issue

Open Facebook page in Native Facebook IOS App via simple URL Sheme issue

I believe I've found a solution... It works currently under facebook ios 5.0.1 for iPhone.. haven't tried it in iPad yet.

The url is fb://profile/132753734806

NOW the important part is that number. That links to one of my clients, Charles Scott. HOWEVER, that's not their FBID or Page ID.. their Page ID is 10150348920319807

so you would think it should be fb://profile/10150348920319807 but that gives me an error.

Here's how you get the correct code.. click on any of your page's photos.. here's an example for my client https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150348920319807&set=a.10150348920314807.356942.132753734806&type=1&theater

if you notice the FBID that does not work follows fbid= in that URL.. the number you WANT is just before the &type=1theater but following that last period. 132753734806 is the correct code to punch in after fb://profile/

I hope that makes some sense... I know zero about code or coding but this was bothering me so much and I knew there was a way.

Now, the two questions I would love to have answered/working.. 1. if this could work on android phones 2. create a working qr code for this url so people can scan with ios devices and have it open automatically

Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!

How to open facebook page in native iOS app

Following needs to be added in info.plist for above code to work.

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>fb</string>
</array>

Not able to launch native Facebook app

For iOS 9, You must whitelist the url's that your app will call out to using the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key in your Info.plist.
So add this code to your plist file:

 <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>fb</string>
<string>fbapi</string>
<string>fbauth2</string>
<string>fbshareextension</string>
<string>fb-messenger-api</string>
<string>twitter</string>
<string>whatsapp</string>
<string>wechat</string>
<string>line</string>
<string>instagram</string>
<string>kakaotalk</string>
<string>mqq</string>
<string>vk</string>
<string>comgooglemaps</string>
</array>

You can remove schemes you don't want to use too.

Hope this help!

Open Facebook Post in Facebook App From iPhone App

It's been asked many times here. And the answer is: it's not possible.

There are methods to do this on Android, but that is not officially supported. You should not rely on it. This is the same for iOS. Some links work, but they are unsupported, can change any time and for some items, such as posts, it's not possible at all.
