mp3 uploaded to Facebook isn't showing in Facebook app on iPhone or Android


I'm developing an app that allows the user to upload an mp3 file to a facebook friend's wall. It's all working well. If I look at the friend's profile page in facebook using IE or Safari, I can see the expected text and the play icon for the mp3 is there. I can click the play button and hear the audio. But, if I view the friend's profile through the facebook iPhone or Android app, the text appears but the mp3 isn't there.

I've searched high and low for a solution to this and am now stumped! Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

dialog.attachment = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"{\"name\":\"blah:\",\"caption\":\"%@\",\"description\":\"link text\",\"media\":[{\"type\":\"mp3\",\"src\":\"http://www.blah.com/audio.mp3\",\"title\":\"song name\",\"artist\":\"singer\",\"href\":\"http://www.blah.com/\"}]}", friendsTableView.chosenName, @" "];

Solution

  • Turned out the problem was down to facebook itself rather than my code. My uploaded files are now showing and playing as expected.
