5. Update ViewController.m as follows

#import "ViewController.h"@interface ViewController ()@end@implementation ViewController- (void)viewDidLoad{    [super viewDidLoad];}- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning{    [super 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"]];
