album delete request fails

[petem]

I wish to delete an album, so I use this code ..

NSMutableDictionary*    params  = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"delete" forKey:@"method"];
[appDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[cellDict objectForKey:@"aid"]  andParams:params  andHttpMethod:@"POST"  andDelegate:nil];

Here's the request/response flow ...

2010-08-27 22:17:02.575 ShareOrStare[19975:207] request: <NSMutableURLRequest https://graph.facebook.com/100000364547939_20156?method=delete&sdk=ios&access_token=1xxx&format=json>
2010-08-27 22:17:03.552 ShareOrStare[19975:207] response: {"error":{"type":"Exception","message":"(#100) Invalid parameter"}}

The album exists and the ID is correct. What is the issue here?

Please check our developer website for how to formulate the the parameter. Especially http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api

You can also check our developer Forum on how the Graph Api work

Thanks!

I'm familiar with the forum and I even contribute. I'm also aware of the first document you cited. Isn't my parameter setting consistent with that document. BTW, I also tried quotes around the AID because of the underscore. It gave a different error message but still unhelpful.

Thinking that you may be suggesting use of the DELETE method, I've tried the latter form of ...
#if 0
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"delete" forKey:@"method"];
[appDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[cellDict objectForKey:@"aid"] andParams:params andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:nil];
#else
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary]; // required even if empty
NSLog(@"aid: %@", [cellDict objectForKey:@"aid"]);
[appDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[cellDict objectForKey:@"aid"] andParams:params andHttpMethod:@"DELETE" andDelegate:nil];
#endif

and I get this logged ...

Could you perhaps indicate where I'm wrong? Thanks.

Unfortunately, We do not support album delete right now. We are working on making our api more complete, but that will take some time. Please check back with us.Thanks
