How to send User to User request with the Facebook SDK 3.1 for iOS

I am trying to invite a user's facebook friend to participate with the user within an iOS app. It is my understanding that I want to use a User to User Request and not an App Request.

I am unsure of how to accomplish this though.

According to the Send Requests page, there should be a "Facebook" class which has a "dialog" method. This does not appear to exist within the Facebook SDK 3.1 for iOS though.

How then do I send a User to User Request with the Facebook SDK 3.1 for iOS?

Thanks

Are there any users left on iOS 3.1? It's really time to upgrade your target... tewha.net/2012/06/dont-write-new-apps-that-target-ios-4 – JRG-Developer
sorry, not the iOS 3.1 SDK, the "Facebook SDK 3.1 for iOS" – Justin Magnini

There is a detailed guide about how to do this on the Facebook Developer site.

Don't forget to follow this rule that is mentionned in the guide but can be easy to miss (emphasis mine):

import the Facebook.h header file and replace the Facebook framework <FacebookSDK/FacebookSDK.h> import declaration

In other words, if you want to avoid having lots of duplicate symbol errors from the compiler, make sure you are replacing the FacebookSDK.h import by Facebook.h instead of importing both.

It turns out the solution is to reference the Facebook deprecated headers

~Documents/FacebookSDK/FacebookSDK.framework/Versions/A/DeprecatedHeaders

Then using an FBDialog:

[self.facebook dialog:@"apprequests"
           andParams:params
         andDelegate:self];
