What is very strange is that the above code doesn’t even fire the fblistener function when building with the latest build, but when using 894, it goes to Facebook but doesn’t post.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
Hi Rob – I’m getting the same issue as rhmueed. I’m using apprequests, but same sort of problem. It appears as though the app has gone through the cycle of submitting the app request, but nothing appears to the facebook user.
Here are my console errors:

Yeah same issue here, app goes through the motions to post, but nothing gets posted. Please test this.
I am getting the same issue, where it takes me to Facebook to post, but does not post. This is using build 2012.894. When trying to post with build 2012.1076, it doesn’t even go to Facebook.
Here is the Facebook controller code, whose externally facing functions (at the bottom) are called by any function needing Facebook functionality. The Facebook configuration on FB’s side configuration is exactly the same as Rob Miracle’s above.
[lua]
module(…, package.seeall)

else

end
local fbCommand

end
end

facebook.request(“me/feed”, “POST”, wallData)

facebook.request(“me”)
end
end

end
end

}
if userData then

end
facebook.login(appId, fbListener, {“publish_stream”})
end
facebookControllerInstance.postLevelAchievement = function(self, level, score)
achInfo.level = level
achInfo.score = score
callWallPost()
end
facebookControllerInstance.postMainAchievement = function(self, giftName, giftImage)
postLevelAch = false
postMainAch = true
achInfo.giftName = giftName
achInfo.giftImage = giftImage
callWallPost()
end
facebookControllerInstance.postAmmoAchievement = function(self)
postLevelAch = false
postAmmoAch = true
achInfo.giftName = “an ammo pack”
achInfo.giftImage = “ui_ammo_icon”
callWallPost()
end
facebookControllerInstance.postChapterAchievement = function(self, chapter)
postLevelAch = false
achInfo.chapter = chapter
callWallPost()
end
return facebookControllerInstance
end

That’s quite a bit of complex code to look at. But I have to ask a very dumb question. Are you expecting to use our built in JSON library or are you providing your own? The require(“JSON”) is looking for an upper case JSON entry which in the sim doesn’t matter, but it could thrown an error on a device since we are using lower case “json”.
Also why are you logging in multiple times? You login, get a ‘me’ object and then in handling the return of the “me” object, you login again? You should login once, and then do facebook.requests()'s to fetch further data, unless I missed a logout in there somewhere.
Rob good tips. I have removed double login, and switched the json library from the custom library (yes we were using a custom library) that was being used to the one corona has built in.
Sorry for just throwing a bunch of messy spaghetti code into your part of the internet, I know it’s a little tough to read.
The core part that’s making me bang my head against the wall is this part:
[lua]facebook.login(appId, fbListener, {“publish_actions”})[/lua]
Last night I wrote a little bit of dummy code (using the AppID of my existing Facebook app) to test facebook login inside my main.lua main() function which is show below.
[lua]
local facebook = require “facebook”
local json = require “json”
local function fbListener(event)
local wallData
wallData = {
name = “my game name”,
link = “[my app link]”,
actions = json.encode({name = “my game name”, link = “[my app link]”})
}
if ( “session” == event.type ) then
– upon successful login, request list of friends of the signed in user
if ( “login” == event.phase ) then
facebook.request( “me/friends”, “POST”, wallData )
end
end
end
facebook.login("[my existing Facebook app ID]", fbListener, {“publish_actions”})
[/lua]
With corona 2012.894 it fetches permissions, but then hangs with a blank login window when it gets to Facebook (looks like the below)
With 2013.1076 it doesn’t even try to login at all.
Any ideas on why this might be happening or what i could do to debug?

This same thing is happening in my app, that you have posted in the image above. I am only trying to login a Corona cloud user, not to post anything. Did you resolve this issue? All my Facebook code works fine with my android build, but I am having a big problem trying to get it to work iOS build.

Hello Rob,
Any updates on Corona Facebook integration. I have tried different things but still no success. As you can see other guys are having the common issue. Any help !!
Hi all,
Out of curiosity, in your settings for your app on Facebook, do you have Sandbox Mode enabled? (It’s under Settings, Basic, Basic Info.) If you do, have you listed yourself as a Developer (not just an Administrator, but a Developer) under Developer Roles? I think if you have Sandbox Mode enabled and you aren’t listed as a developer, you may get a blank login screen like you’re seeing. You could try either adding yourself as a Developer, or disabling Sandbox Mode entirely, and seeing if that makes a difference.

You should also run our sample app against your facebook ID and make sure you don’t have a facebook setup error

Same issue here. Facebook was working in the previous daily build (700-ish) but when I upgraded to build 1134, facebook.login doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas? I’ve tried using my appId in the Corona Facebook sample app and got the error below from the console:

The facebook API did change a bit from the old build you were using to now. In your build.settings, do you have a line like "FacebookAppID = “xxxxxxxxxxxx”? This is a new requirement since the old build you used. See the documentation here: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/social/setupFacebook/index.html.

@Andrew: Thank you so much! That did the trick for me. I missed that one friggin’ line in my build.settings. 
Serves me right for working long hours w/out taking any coffee.
