Facebook login via social framework in ios

Question

I'm new with iOS development. I have to integrate Facebook login in my iOS app, as user logs in it fetches all the info and navigates it to home screen. I have done this via Facebook latest SDK but I want it to be done via social framework. I have gone through lots of online stuff and also have found examples where they are sharing(posting) content on Facebook page(Wall) via social framework but not Facebook login exactly. Anyone please help, let me know if Facebook login is possible via social framework or i have to stick to SDK. Thanks in Advance

@Facebbok SDK is the best solution for accessing all controls of Facebook. i will suggest this. — ChenSmile, Dec 26 '13 at 07:14
but isn't it bad practice ? like size of sdk is almost 10-11MB — Arun, Dec 26 '13 at 07:19
but due to various security issues you could not use social framework as a complete Facebook SDK — ChenSmile, Dec 26 '13 at 07:20
If you want to fetch user's information, you need to use graph api in combination with social and accounts framework(for login) as explained below by @iSuman. — dispatchMain, Dec 26 '13 at 07:38
you can use fbconnect to login and retrieve user's all information .i have done same functionality with this https://github.com/twotoasters/fbconnect-iphone — Shehbaz Khan, Dec 26 '13 at 08:18
@ShehbazKhan pretty old stuff, with a lot of deprecated API. I wouldn't use. FB official SDK is the way to go, we can complain about it but it is the only way to havve a full integration with the graph API. Social iOS API requires that you have set an account in settings. The official SDK can work also asking username aand pwd on the fly. — Andrea, Dec 26 '13 at 10:19

Import Social and Acount Framwork

put this code in your .m file

-(void)facebook

    self.accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc]init];

            NSLog(@"error from renew credentials%@",error);
        }
    }];
}

Also logged in your native Facebook application in your device/Simulator

For this you need to have a facebook app whose key you need to provide along with audience and permissions in login options dictionary. — dispatchMain, Dec 26 '13 at 07:35
actually i did't implement this for twitter check this hope it will help you https://dev.twitter.com/docs/ios @AbhishekGupta — Gajendra Rawat, Apr 18 '14 at 05:33
Do you need to ```requestAccessToAccountsWithType``` every single time? Surely once the user has granted access, then you don't need to keep on checking it. Anyway around this? — Supertecnoboff, Nov 18 '15 at 09:35
is there any issue with social login framework with earlier versions of 10.2 — jeff ayan, Aug 03 '17 at 11:17

Swift 3 Version of solution @reena

@IBAction func loginButtonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {

    var facebookAccount: ACAccount?
    let options:[String : Any] = [ACFacebookAppIdKey: "YOUR_FACEBOOK_API_KEY", ACFacebookPermissionsKey: ["email"],ACFacebookAudienceKey:ACFacebookAudienceFriends]

    let accountStore = ACAccountStore()

    let facebookAccountType = accountStore.accountType(withAccountTypeIdentifier: ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook)

    accountStore.requestAccessToAccounts(with: facebookAccountType, options: options) { (granted:Bool, error:Error?) in
        if granted{
            let accounts = accountStore.accounts(with: facebookAccountType)
            facebookAccount = accounts?.last as? ACAccount

            let dict:NSDictionary = facebookAccount!.dictionaryWithValues(forKeys: ["properties"]) as NSDictionary
            let properties:NSDictionary = dict["properties"] as! NSDictionary

            print("facebook Response is-->:%@",properties)
        }
        else {
            if let err = error as? NSError, err.code == Int(ACErrorAccountNotFound.rawValue) {
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.displayAlert("There is no Facebook accounts configured. you can add or created a Facebook account in your settings.")
                }
            } else {

Facebook login using Accounts and social framework (swift)

var facebookAccount: ACAccount?

        let options: [NSObject : AnyObject] = [ACFacebookAppIdKey: "YOUR_FACEBOOK_API_KEY", ACFacebookPermissionsKey: ["publish_stream","publish_actions"],ACFacebookAudienceKey:ACFacebookAudienceFriends]
        let accountStore = ACAccountStore()
        let facebookAccountType = accountStore.accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier(ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook)

            accountStore.requestAccessToAccountsWithType(facebookAccountType, options: options) { (granted, error) -> Void in
                if granted
                {
                    let accounts = accountStore.accountsWithAccountType(facebookAccountType)
                    self.facebookAccount = accounts.last as? ACAccount
                    let accountsArray=accountStore.accountsWithAccountType(facebookAccountType) as NSArray

                    self.facebookAccount=accountsArray.lastObject as? ACAccount
                    var dict:NSDictionary
                    dict=NSDictionary()

                    dict=self.facebookAccount!.dictionaryWithValuesForKeys(["properties"])
                    let properties:NSDictionary=dict["properties"] as! NSDictionary
                    print("facebook Response is-->:%@",properties)
                }
                else
                {
                    if error.code == Int(ACErrorAccountNotFound.rawValue) {
                        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
                            self.displayAlert("There is no Facebook accounts configured. you can add or created a Facebook account in your settings.")
                        })
                    } else {

                            self.displayAlert("Permission not granted For Your Application")
                        })
