Here is my code

-(void)startPostPhotoToFacebook:(UIImage *)image withMessage:(NSString *)message {
    NSArray *arrPermission = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"publish_stream", nil];

    if (FBSession.activeSession.state == FBSessionStateOpen) {
        NSLog(@"Session is opened already");
        [self postPhotoToFacebook:image withMessage:message];
    }
    else {
        NSLog(@"Need to open session");

        [FBSession openActiveSessionWithPublishPermissions:arrPermission defaultAudience:FBSessionDefaultAudienceEveryone allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState state, NSError *error) {
            if (!error) {
                [self sessionStateChangedForPostPhotoToFacebook:session state:state error:error withImage:image andMessage:message];
            }
            else {
                NSLog(@"Open active session failed");
            }
        }];
    }
}

-(void)sessionStateChangedForPostPhotoToFacebook:(FBSession *)session state:(FBSessionState)state error:(NSError *)error withImage:(UIImage *)image andMessage:(NSString *)message {
    switch (state) {
        case FBSessionStateOpen: {
            [self startPostPhotoToFacebook:image withMessage:message];
        }
            break;
        case FBSessionStateClosed:
        case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
            [FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
        default:
            break;
    }

    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"error");
    }
}

-(void)postPhotoToFacebook:(UIImage *)image withMessage:(NSString *)message {
    if (message == nil) {
        message = @"";
    }
    NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [params setObject:message forKey:@"message"];

    [params setObject:image forKey:@"source"];

    FBRequest *request = [FBRequest requestWithGraphPath:@"me/photos" parameters:params HTTPMethod:@"POST"];

    FBRequestConnection *fbConnection = [[FBRequestConnection alloc] initWithTimeout:10];
    [fbConnection addRequest:request completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
        if (!error) {
            NSLog(@"Result: %@", result);
            [myMainViewController finishPostPhotoToFacebook];
            [fbConnection release];
        }
        else {
            NSLog(@"%@", error.description);
            [myMainViewController errorPostPhotoToFacebook];
            [fbConnection release];
        }
    }];

    [fbConnection start];
}

Any one know how to fix this? Thank you very much

You're seing timeouts from Facebook. See the description

NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out.,

Your timeout setting is quite short. Facebook SDKs defaults timeout 180. Since you're dealing with image upload 10 second may not always be enough. Set it higher to something like 30 seconds.
