Please tell me how to fix this issue?

As you can see the linker complains that SBJsonWriter and SBJsonParser are both defined in libfacebook_ios_sdk.a and as individual files in your project.

You cannot really solve the problem except removing the individual files from your target.

The problem is that the developers of libfacebook_ios_sdk.a thought it would be a good idea to use the json framework (not caring for clashes with code used in the host app). This is a common problem with SDKs on iOS.
