How to implement with social api for facebook and twitter in both ios 5 and ios 6?

In my app there is button which actually lets you connect to facebook, add comments etc. Earlier i was doing it with a third party library but now as we have facebook integration i want to use Apple Social framework. But what if somebody is still using ios5. I guess in that case it will crash. So how should i use new Apple API to imnplement facebook for both ios 5 and ios 6? If that's not possible what's the best i can do?

iOS 5.1.1

if what you have is working for iOS 5, then just add a check for iOS version and add code for iOS verisions > 5.

But to use the Social framework you have to import it in your class and when its ios5 it crshes there.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. My deployment target is 5.1 but I'd like to add the social framework to my project for ios 6 users. Works fine when i test with ios 6 but crashes at launch on 5.1 now. I believe it is because I #import "Social/Social.h".

I test for OS version to ensure it can be used with ios 6 usere, but again the problem is that i can't launch my app with 5.1

anyone have a fix?

Just make sure you set the Social.framework as optional under Build Phases.

Does it work now?
