## Introduction
Twitter has been integrated into iOS 5.0, and Facebook has been integrated into iOS 6.0. This tutorial focuses on how to deploy Twitter and Facebook in iOS 5.0 and iOS 6.0 using the classes provided by Apple.
### Example Steps
1. Create a simple View-based application.
2. Select the project file, then select "Targets", and add `Social.framework` and `Accounts.framework` in the "Choose frameworks" section.
3. Add two buttons named `facebookPost` and `twitterPost`, and create IBActions for them.
4. Update `ViewController.h` as follows:
```objc
#import
#import
#import
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
-(IBAction)twitterPost:(id)sender;
-(IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender;
@end
5. Update `ViewController.m` as shown below:
```objc
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end
@implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
;
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
-(IBAction)facebookPost:(id)sender
{
SLComposeViewController *controller = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
SLComposeViewControllerCompletionHandler myBlock = ^(SLComposeViewControllerResult result){
if (result == SLComposeViewControllerResultCancelled) {
NSLog(@"Cancelled");
} else {
NSLog(@"Done");
}
[controller dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
};
controller.completionHandler =myBlock;
//Adding the Text to the facebook post value from iOS
[controller setInitialText:@"My test post"];
//Adding the URL to the facebook post value from iOS
[controller addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.test.com"]];
//Adding the Text to the facebook post value from iOS
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
}
-(IBAction)twitterPost:(id)sender
{
SLComposeViewController *tweetSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
[tweetSheet setInitialText:@"My test tweet"];
[self presentModalViewController:tweetSheet animated:YES];
}
@end
### Output
When we run the application and click `facebookPost`, we will get the following output:
When we click `twitterPost`, we will get the following output:
