  You need facebook id to open the page. Use this link:

  Thanks tkhnoman.
  
  Another solution by using XCode:
  
  First, find page id by using: http://graph.facebook.com/[page_name], example http://graph.facebook.com/GamesForTwo
  And here's result:

  { "about": "Play fun board games with your kids, friends, lovers, or with robot.\niPad Free version: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id592040719" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/app/id592040719</a> \niPad Full version: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id574723506\n"" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/app/id574723506\n"</a>, "general_info": "Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/guava7games\nTwitter" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/guava7games\nTwitter</a>: <a href="https://twitter.com/guava7games"" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/guava7games"</a>, "is_published": true, "talking_about_count": 4, "username": "GamesForTwo", "website": "<a href="http://www.guava7.com"" rel="nofollow">http://www.guava7.com"</a>, "were_here_count": 0, "category": "Games/toys", "id": "445673215469538", "name": "Games For Two", "link": "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/GamesForTwo"" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/GamesForTwo"</a>, "likes": 134, "cover": { "cover_id": 469587159744810, "source": "<a href="http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/47686_469587159744810_1984590257_n.jpg"" rel="nofollow">http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/47686_469587159744810_1984590257_n.jpg"</a>, "offset_y": 0 } }

  Second, open facebook with:

  void _OpenFacebookPage(const char*pageid) { NSString* page; BOOL re = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:<a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/fb%3A%2F%2F" rel="nofollow">@fb://</a>]]; if (re) { page = [NSString stringWithFormat:<a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/fb%3A%2F%2Fprofile%2F%25s" rel="nofollow">@fb://profile/%s</a>, pageid]; } else { page = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<a href="http://www.facebook.com/%s"" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/%s&quot;</a>, pageid]; } [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:<a href="https://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/page" rel="nofollow">@page</a>]]; }

  Is it possible to figure out if a user has the fb app installed? I know in Corona the openUrl method returned true if the request was successful. If the request to open the fb app with proper app id was successful id do nothing, if it wasnt id switch over to opening my page via browser.

  local url = "fb://profile/yourPageId"
  
  if (application:canOpenUrl(url)) then
  application:openUrl(url)
  else
  application:openUrl("http://www.facebook.com/urlToPage")
  end
