Facebook unleashes new SDK for iOS with improved Open Graph and login support

Facebook unleashes new SDK for iOS with improved Open Graph and login support

At its Mobile DevCon in New York today, Facebook took the wraps off a new SDK for iOS. This marks version 3.5 of the development kit, with the biggest news being improvements to Open Graph. While devs have been able to leverage Facebook's Open Graph for mobile products before, new APIs being release should simplify the act of tapping in to the vast repository of social data. One of the big improvements, is the creation of an Object API which removes the need to host a website with Open Graph specific tags. There's also a new native dialog for sharing content to Facebook from any application. Perhaps less immediately important to users are the improvements to the login system, but its a major initiative for Facebook. As the network moves to become a single sign-on platform for the web, streamlining the act of logging in to other properties using your Facebook account becomes increasingly important. The company's Douglas Purdy claims that the process is now 20-percent faster than the previous dialog. The biggest question still left hanging in the air, is just when we can expect the SDK upgrades to be made available on Android. Though, Purdy promised it would be coming "very quickly."
