Can't add description and title to url using Facebook share link content

Question

I try add description and title for share link content . I am using pod 'FacebookShare' (because when i using FBSDKShareKit, description and title are deprecated)

https://i.sstatic.net/9p9lp.jpg

This my code with 'FacebookShare' :

        do{
            var myContent: LinkShareContent = LinkShareContent(url: NSURL(string:contentUrl!) as! URL )
            myContent.description = "Some description"
            myContent.title = "Hello"

            let shareDialog = ShareDialog(content: myContent)
            shareDialog.mode = .shareSheet
            shareDialog.presentingViewController = self
            shareDialog.failsOnInvalidData = true
            shareDialog.completion = { result in
                // Handle share results
            }
                try shareDialog.show()
            } catch {
                print("Error: \(error)")
         }

But i can see description and title only when i using : shareDialog.mode = .native In all other cases( .shareSheet, .Web, .Browser, .FeedWeb, .FeedBrowser) they don't added. I am not want use .native mode because not everyone has native Facebook app. Is there any solution for my case?

****UPDATE:****

set up the proper meta tags on the site (which is i sharing url) itself for title, description and image values and for other variables.

You should update your myContent and shareDialog parts like this:

        let myContent:FBSDKShareLinkContent = FBSDKShareLinkContent()
        myContent.contentTitle = "Hello"
        myContent.contentDescription = "Test message"
        myContent.contentURL = (URL(string: "https://developers.facebook.com"))

        let shareDialog = FBSDKShareDialog()
        shareDialog.mode = .shareSheet
        FBSDKShareDialog.show(from: self, with: myContent, delegate: nil)

You can also import and use Social library for creating Facebook share box. And control your share results with Facebook share delegate functions. Like this way:

import FBSDKShareKit
import Social

class YourViewController: UIViewController, FBSDKSharingDelegate {
    func facebookShareButtonClicked() {
        let vc = SLComposeViewController(forServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook)
        vc?.add(UIImage(named: "YourImageName"))
        vc?.add(URL(string: "https://developers.facebook.com")) //Your custom URL
        vc?.setInitialText("Your sample share message...")
        self.present(vc!, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

//Facebook share delegate functions:
    func sharer(_ sharer: FBSDKSharing!, didCompleteWithResults results: [AnyHashable : Any]!) {
        print("Success")
    }

    func sharer(_ sharer: FBSDKSharing!, didFailWithError error: Error!) {
        print("didFailWithError: ", error)
    }

    func sharerDidCancel(_ sharer: FBSDKSharing!) {
        print("Sharer cancelled")
    }
}

Note: Try it with your device. It doesn't work on simulator. And be sure that the Facebook App is installed your device.
