We are developing a photo-booth style app in Unity.
The app will be deployed on an Android device and placed into a public space like a shopping mall.
We would like to allow users to share their images on social media. Facebook / Instagram.
Having checked how the native share functionality works - it uses the account logged into the device to share. However, we would like the users to be able to share to their own social media accounts.
Is this possible? It seems like the built in share functionality on Android would not allow for this.
Would we have to use API to achieve this kind of function?
We had the idea to present them with a form to log into their Facebook / Instagram account to share content.
Once its shared - it would need to logout and not keep the login details.
Does anyone know if there is perhaps an Asset for Unity to do such a thing?
Thanks!

I am using TikTok SDK login from TikTok for developers portal. https://developers.tiktok.com in my mobile app. (We have registered and got the client_id and client_secret)
I am able to authenticate user from the SDK, but no user information is coming back from TikTok like username,firstname,unique_id,followers_count etc.
We can share the video directly to tiktok using SDK, but there is no user information available.
There is no much information available from TikTok on there Developer portal, Can anyone help me?
Thank you
I don't know if it's intentional, but it doesn't seem like Tik Tok has a very high priority on creating a robust API. Their IOS sdk seems to only have the ability to share videos to their platform, but not much else.
This repo may offer something for you (github.com/szdc/tiktok-api) but the documentation isn't very clear.
Tik Tok also doesn't have a very good web version, which is a smart move if they're trying to protect their data from devs like us who are trying to build on top of their platform.
i have just started to develop a basic app, and have integrated an SDK for online chat, using which customers could chat with customer support.
I want implement if someone want to share screen shot, it should be done without going into gallelry just like android native shows default apps for sharing like whatsapp,facebook, my app also could be reflected there.
Is it possible??
I'm developing (actually it's done, only the Facebook and Hyves shares are missing) Android mobile app that should share image to Face and Hyves.
There are couple of problems that I do not understand, so I need (urgent) help.
My idea was to save user/pass on device, and to check during the input if these details are correct. Then I wanted to somehow use API's to share image on the wall, preferably without any additional apps created, just share photo like you would share it from gallery.
Now I'm reading Facebook Developers guide, and it advises to create facebook app with domanin / e-mail, but this is not my app and I do not have authority to create anything in the name of third party.
So, what is the proper way to share photo to Social Networks, without creating "apps" and getting apps ID and stuff.
It seems that I can't find that kind of info on FB Developers page, and I'm afraid how will I get proper information for hyves (Dutch social network, and I do not speek dutch).
I wish to drop pins or view the photo's which are of my interest in my Android Application, do we have any SDK by pinterest , as I would want to integrate the same inside my Android Application.
Any suggestions would be like a boon

This is for others who might want to get started with pinterest and land in this page.
It seems like the answer is "not yet"... But go and sign up with them, I'm sure it's on their radar and will come soon enough if it's in their basic FAQ.

Another option (or just for the meantime before they release an official API) may be if the official pinterest app offers an intent for sharing? Plenty of other social web entities like twitter, facebook, etc give intent based access in their official apps, that let you dump media, links, etc into them from other apps in the system, and have the information posted to your accounts.
Can a custom FB web app be used inside the iOS / android FB apps? Docs are not very clear on that. You can create Bookmarks for native apps, but I want to have a bookmark pointing to our custom FB web app canvas. The goal is to develop an app that's usable on all platforms.
I've been making some test and I could'n execute a non native app from facebook app or web page, and it's not easy to load facebook web page in PC mode from a mobile device.
The official Facebook documentation for iOS says:
When a user does a search in the Facebook app your app will be visible if it passes a usage threshold. The search results will display apps that have been configured for SSO support. When the user selects your app from the search results they will be directed to your app. If the user had previously authorized your app they will be authenticated when your app is launched.
I guess that for Android will be pretty like this. So if you develop a native app that only shows a WebView pointint to your web (pretty simple by the way in iOS and android) must work with no problems.
Usually Facebook APPs are on Flash, so I don't think that it will work on iOS (Please correct me if I'm wrong with the Flash issue).
On Android, it would be extremely easy, having in mind it works with Flash with 0 problems. You'd just have to implement a WebView on your layout and point to the url of your facebook app.
In general, you can really create applications that work on both systems, iOS and Android, playing with the webView's. However, you have to know that they will never work as if they were written on native code in terms of performance.
From what I've seen, if a developer already has an existing mobile version of their app which is also on Facebook, they are able to create a tab for it that will appear on Facebook for iOS and Facebook for Android. I don't think you can create a bookmark to the webapp version to be seen on a mobile phone. Users can of course bookmark your webapp on their browsers, though.
