ShareKit - share on Facebook

Question

I am using ShareKit to share a simple text on Facebook. I use cocoapods to install ShareKit on my application (with iOS7, and XCode5), and follow the configuration tutorial ConfigurationShareKit. More specifically, I do the following things:

1) Write the URL Scheme into the plist.

2) Create a DefaultSHKConfigurator sub-class:

@interface MySHKConfigurator : DefaultSHKConfigurator

@end

@implementation MySHKConfigurator
- (NSString*)facebookAppId
{
    return @"xxx";
}
-(NSString *)appName
{
    return @"MyAppName";
}
- (NSArray*)facebookWritePermissions
{
    return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"publish_actions",@"publish_stream", nil]; //@"offline_access",
}
- (NSArray*)facebookReadPermissions
{
    return nil; // this is the defaul value for the SDK and will afford basic read permissions
}
@end

3) Make the initial configuration in the AppDelegate:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Override point for customization after application launch.    
    DefaultSHKConfigurator *configurator = [[MySHKConfigurator alloc] init];
    [SHKConfiguration sharedInstanceWithConfigurator:configurator];
    //[SHK flushOfflineQueue];    
    return YES;
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
    [SHKFacebook handleDidBecomeActive];
}
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
    // Save data if appropriate
    [SHKFacebook handleWillTerminate];
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
  sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
         annotation:(id)annotation
{
    NSString* scheme = [url scheme];    

    if ([scheme hasPrefix:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"fb%@", SHKCONFIG(facebookAppId)]]) {
        return [SHKFacebook handleOpenURL:url];
    }

    return YES;
}

4) Share on Facebook

- (IBAction)shareFacebook:(id)sender {            
    //- The url should be a link to your app on the app store
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"];
    //- Share on Facebook
    SHKItem *item = [SHKItem URL:url title:self.textView.text contentType:SHKURLContentTypeWebpage];
    [SHKFacebook shareItem:item];    
}

Now, What result I got on the real device is a facebook confirm dialog with question: "You have already authorized MyApp". After I push OK button, it comes back to the share dialog. And after I push the "Send To Facebook", it once again comes back to the Facebook confirm dialog with the above question. This cycle loops forever.

Do you know what did I miss? Thanks

Oh I see now - if you prefer to call sharer directly, than call

[SHKiOSFacebook shareItem:item];

The difference between SHKFacebook and SHKiOSFacebook is that the former uses Facebook iOS SDK, while the latter uses Accounts.framework and Social.framework.
