Answer 1

Answers above work. But make sure you created the Facebook session, with openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions not openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions.

I spent a day on this, because if you use the wrong one, you get the (in)famous "(#352) Sorry, the video file you selected is in a format that we don't support."

In any case the only permission you really need is publish_actions

Answer 2

I don't use key contentType int params. It works well with Facebook SDK 3.10 (latest)

NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];    
NSString* videoName = [filePath lastPathComponent];
NSMutableDictionary* params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[params setObject:caption forKey:@"description"];
[params setObject:videoData forKey:videoName];

FBRequestConnection *requestConnection = [FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:@"me/videos"
                             parameters:params
                             HTTPMethod:@"POST"
                      completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error)
{

}];

Just before FBRequest Add a line to open FBRequestConnection Worked for me.

[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:@"me/videos" 
    completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, 
    id result, NSError *error) 
{
    FBRequest *uploadRequest = 
        [FBRequest requestWithGraphPath:@"me/videos" 
        parameters:params HTTPMethod:@"POST"];
}];
