I assume by your question that you are looking to do some social media posting.

You can either pass a reference for your View Controller to your SKScene or you can use NSNotificationCenter instead. I prefer to use the latter.

First make sure you have added the Social.framework to your project.

Import the social framework into your View Controller #import <Social/Social.h>

Then in your View Controller's viewDidLoad method add this code:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(createTweet:)
                                             name:@"CreateTweet"
                                           object:nil];

Next add this method to your View Controller:

-(void)createTweet:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    NSDictionary *tweetData = [notification userInfo];
    NSString *tweetText = (NSString *)[tweetData objectForKey:@"tweetText"];
    NSLog(@"%@",tweetText);

    // build your tweet, facebook, etc...
    SLComposeViewController *mySLComposerSheet = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter];
    [self presentViewController:mySLComposerSheet animated:YES completion:nil];
}

At the appropriate location in your SKScene, (won game, lost game, etc...) add this code:

NSString *tweetText = @"I just beat the last level.";
NSDictionary *userInfo = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:tweetText forKey:@"tweetText"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"CreateTweet" object:self userInfo:userInfo];

The above code sends a NSNotification, with text, which your View Controller will pick up and execute the specified method (which is createTweet in the above example).
