Question

I would like my iPhone app to be able to post a static message to a user’s friend’s facebook wall. Something like it shows the static message up above, and then a place to type in friends name and shows suggested friends. Is this done through graph api, or is there a key of permissions that the POST method can use?

Looks like this might be what you are after.

From the link:

“You just have to send your friend’s Facebook ID as a parameter under the key “target_id”.

set a parameter under the key @”target_id” on the parameters dictionary (when invoking dialog:andParams:andDelegate: on the Facebook object).

Here you have a sample post using the new sdk (the one that uses graph api):

    NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[params setObject:@"Some text" forKey:@"user_message_prompt"];
[params setObject:@"another text" forKey:@"action_links"];
[params setObject:@"Yet another text" forKey:@"attachment"];
[params setObject:@"SOME FACEBOOK ID" forKey:@"target_id"];

//At some point you need to create the following Facebook instance

[facebook dialog: @"stream.publish"
    andParams: params
    andDelegate: self];
