Yet Another Social Plugin with Facebook question

Social Media
#1

I would like to use the Social Plugin to post a message + photo to the user’s wall. Do I need to implement Facbook single sign-on and get a Facbook App ID and all that jazz? Originally, I was following this tutorial where all that was required:

It seems the Social Plugin does not require FB App ID?

On another note, does anyone know how to get the Facebook ‘Like’ button to be available when the user goes to your app in Game Center? Maybe that is a benefit of FB single sign-on?

Thanks!

The social plugin uses the iOS internal facebook handlers.  No need for you to deal with single sign on, the facebook.* API, or any app setup on Facebook if all you want to do is post to the person’s timeline.  It will upload the photos for you.

Yeah I can confirm this.  I just integrated the fb/twitter social plugin and it is awesome!  Extremely easy to use and gets the job done.  I kinda wish the fb posts looked a little different, but nonetheless it works great.
