自2012年1月以来的Facebook和iOS登录错误-即使使用ShareKit或SDK

Question

Since the last week in January we've seen most of our iOS apps, and those commercially available on the app store have problems logging in and posting to Facebook. We've also seen this with apps using ShareKit to post to FB.

I've filed bugs with FB and got nowhere other than that people confirm they are seeing the same thing.

Today I did some NSLog's of the URL requests and redirect URLs where the problem is showing itself...

Could someone please try and help?

BTW - Please note - all of this was working perfectly before Jan 26th 2012. There has been no code changes on our side since then.

So we have an empty UIWebView and we make the login request

2012-02-22 12:32:28.870 iPad App[1640:15203] REQUEST = https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=135916249814649&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&scope=publish_stream,user_photos&type=user_agent&display=touch>

At this point the FB login page is shown inside the iOS UIWebView. After correctly entering in a valid FB email address and password, the following occurs.

And here's the error that the UIWebView returns. Note - all this happens BEFORE the UIWebView is dismissed and BEFORE we even sent the POST to FB url.

=========

So, other than "FB is broke..." which they don't seem to be doing anything about nor addressing this issue as it's been almost a month and we have shouting and complaining customers and users... what else could be going on?

Some apps (our own and 3rd party) that use share kit are working, and some not...

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

This has been fixed.

FB changed not only some URL's but changed the way the Client Side Authentication worked and didn't bother to tell anyone.

If you look at the Javascript code for Client Side Authentication and emulate this in iOS it works fine.

(for the moment.)

Gods I hate Facebook so much...
