I'm working with deep link in iOS. I am going to share a link in Facebook using `FBSDKShareLinkContent. I have created deep linking URL in Facebook like https://fb.me/****************.

I have already done AppInviteContent and it works good like this:

 

let content : FBSDKAppInviteContent = FBSDKAppInviteContent()
content.appLinkURL = NSURL(string: "https://fb.me/****************")!
content.appInvitePreviewImageURL = NSURL(string: "http://***.***.***.***/shareImage.png" as String)!
FBSDKAppInviteDialog.showWithContent(content, delegate: self)

Now, I am sharing link in Facebook like this:

let shareLinkContent : FBSDKShareLinkContent = FBSDKShareLinkContent()
shareLinkContent.contentURL = NSURL(string: "https://example.com/a2d69835ae")!
shareLinkContent.contentTitle = "App_Name"
shareLinkContent.contentDescription = "Description"

let dialog : FBSDKShareDialog = FBSDKShareDialog()
dialog.fromViewController = self
dialog.delegate = self
dialog.shareContent = shareLinkContent
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogMode.Web
dialog.show()

How to set deep link URL (e.g. https://fb.me/****************) in this shareLinkContent.

A very apt idea is to use Branch framework for the deep linking feature. You can get to know how to use this framework from here https://branch.io/

It can be used to share your app contents to any of the social networking sites. it has the feature on universal linking and deep linking.

Remove this below code, this have been modified in latest pod version.

let dialog : FBSDKShareDialog = FBSDKShareDialog()
dialog.fromViewController = self
dialog.delegate = self
dialog.shareContent = shareLinkContent
dialog.mode = FBSDKShareDialogMode.Web
dialog.show()

Add this code will show Facebook Share dialog:

 FBSDKShareDialog.show(from: self, with: shareLinkContent, delegate: self)

This will fix your FBSDK share issue.

For APP invite try some thing like this:

{
    let content : FBSDKAppInviteContent = FBSDKAppInviteContent()
        content.appLinkURL = NSURL(string: "https://fb.me/****************")!
        content.appInvitePreviewImageURL = NSURL(string: "http://***.***.***.***/shareImage.png" as String)!
        FBSDKAppInviteDialog.show(from: self, with: content, delegate: self)
}
