How to share NSData or phasset video using Facebook iOS SDK 4.0 FBSDKShareDialog

With the new Facebook SDK 4.0, videos must be passed as assets URL. You have to copy your local video path to Assets Library and use that generated URL to share on Facebook.

Step 1:

NSURL *videoURL=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"IMG_1007" ofType:@"mp4"]];
[self saveToCameraRoll:videoURL];

Step 2:

- (void)saveToCameraRoll:(NSURL *)srcURL
{
    NSLog(@"srcURL: %@", srcURL);

    ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
    ALAssetsLibraryWriteVideoCompletionBlock videoWriteCompletionBlock =
    ^(NSURL *newURL, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
            NSLog( @"Error writing image with metadata to Photo Library: %@", error );
        } else {
            NSLog( @"Wrote image with metadata to Photo Library %@", newURL.absoluteString);
            url_new  = newURL;
        }
    };

    if ([library videoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL])
    {
        [library writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL
                                    completionBlock:videoWriteCompletionBlock];
    }
}

Step 3:

FBSDKShareDialog *shareDialog = [[FBSDKShareDialog alloc] init];    
NSURL *videoURL = url_new;
FBSDKShareVideo *video = [[FBSDKShareVideo alloc] init];
video.videoURL = videoURL;
FBSDKShareVideoContent *content = [[FBSDKShareVideoContent alloc] init];   
content.video = video;
shareDialog.shareContent = content;
shareDialog.delegate = self;
[shareDialog show];

If you have any other query please let me know.

Thanks!
