Answer 1

Ok,I understand if you want to send app request to your friends than you should use FBSDKAppInviteContent.

Here is the code:

FBSDKAppInviteContent *content =[[FBSDKAppInviteContent alloc] init];
content.appLinkURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"Your_App_Id"];
content.previewImageURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"Your_app_previewimage"];
[FBSDKAppInviteDialog showWithContent:content
                             delegate:self];

Here for Your_App_Id please refer to this link.

And it's delegate methods:

- (void)appInviteDialog:(FBSDKAppInviteDialog *)appInviteDialog didCompleteWithResults:(NSDictionary *)results{
if (results) {

   }
}
- (void)appInviteDialog:(FBSDKAppInviteDialog *)appInviteDialog didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{
if (error) {

    NSString *message = error.userInfo[FBSDKErrorLocalizedDescriptionKey] ?:
    @"There was a problem sending the invite, please try again later.";
    NSString *title = error.userInfo[FBSDKErrorLocalizedTitleKey] ?: @"Oops!";

    [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:title message:message delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil] show];
   }
}

Why don't you try FBSDKGameRequestContent(It will require Facebook SDK 4.0)?

Note: This will work only if your app category is Game in Facebook developer page.

Here is the code:

FBSDKGameRequestContent *gameRequestContent = [[FBSDKGameRequestContent alloc] init];
     // Look at FBSDKGameRequestContent for futher optional properties
     FBSDKGameRequestDialog *dialog = [[FBSDKGameRequestDialog alloc]init];
     dialog.delegate = self;
     dialog.content = gameRequestContent;

     gameRequestContent.message = @"Become a Ninja!!!";
     gameRequestContent.title = @"NinjaPan";
     dialog.delegate = self;
     dialog.content = gameRequestContent;
     [dialog show];

And it's delegate methods:

- (void)gameRequestDialog:(FBSDKGameRequestDialog *)gameRequestDialog didCompleteWithResults:(NSDictionary *)results{
if (results) {

      }
}

- (void)gameRequestDialog:(FBSDKGameRequestDialog *)gameRequestDialog didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{
if (error) {
    NSLog(@"%@",error.localizedDescription);
   }
}

- (void)gameRequestDialogDidCancel:(FBSDKGameRequestDialog *)gameRequestDialog{
NSLog(@"Cancelled by user");
}
