Facebook Inc releases new SDK for iOS6

There is good news for Apple developers. Facebook Inc(NASDAQ:FB) has just released its SDK 1.3 for iOS 6 that allows developers to code their apps so that users can easily sign in through their Facebook IDs. It is a single sign-on process.

This means that if the app allows users to sign in using their Facebook accounts then they no longer have to enter their email IDs and passwords, like they would normally do while signing in.

It would just require a single tap on the iOS 6 and they can be immediately logged in without having to go through the cumbersome process.

Other features of the SDK are -

Ready-to-use UI controls: The SDK includes several pre-built user interface controls.

Friend Picker to help apps easily pick your friends. Say as a user you want to share your photos with a specific group of friends then use the friend picker feature to choose friends to tag in an Open Graph action.

Places Picker so that apps can easily integrate with Facebook places. Subscribers can use this picker to let users include a place with their posts.

Profile Picture control so your app can easily show the profile picture of a user, their friends, places, or other kinds of Facebook objects.

Login controls for easily building login and logout experiences.

Another important development is the new ad analytics feature so that marketers can understand the effective of the mobile Facebook ads.
