upload

I'm currently trying to upload an image from my Mac application to Facebook. To do this, I'd like for the user to simply input his username and password, and to click a button.

The only issue is, Facebook doesn't actually have an API for the Mac, it only has one for iOS. This shouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that to login, you must use a web view, something I'm not to keen on doing, since I'd like the interface to be two simple text fields.

I've also looked into PHFacebook, a class I found online, but it also seems to utilize an NSWebView.

I'm wondering if there's a security issue when you use text fields; indeed, it's slightly strange no available API offers this function !

So, to conclude, is it possible, or is there an API, that lets you upload an image and lets you provide the user's credentials through simple NSStrings?
