Facebook: App Center

[rob]

If you want to stay with the Graphics 1.0 engine, you should get 1260 and it has fixes that address this for Facebook.  If you can move to the Graphics 2.0 engine, any version of that should have the fixes for Facebook.

For most people adding:   graphicsCompatibility = 1 to your config.lua will take care of most of the G2.0 changes if you don’t want to convert to the G2.0 way of life

Hi Rob,

That’s great! Yeah, the new one breaks my game, even with compatibility mode turned on…where can i access 1260? I cant seem to find it anywhere!

Thanks,

Alan.

I don’t have a subscription, so cant access daily build…I’ve half migrated to 2.0, but I now I’m caught by a scroll view returning nil bug.

Could you tell me when the next public release is scheduled? My game is due for release in 2 weeks…

Or do you know of any workaround? Perhaps, if I time the calls to the listener to get whether it is moving or not?

Alan.

Nevermind, kind of hacked a fix by doing this (for anyone else who is interested):

local isBegan = true local scrollTimer -- ScrollView listener local function scrollListener( event ) if(scrollTimer~=nil)then timer.cancel(scrollTimer) end if(isBegan==true)then print("Phase Began") isBegan = false end local function phaseEnded() print("Phase Ended") isBegan = true end print("Phase Moved") scrollTimer=timer.performWithDelay(100,phaseEnded,1) end

Hi Rob,

Facebook is still giving me the same error, and is not validating the app with 2013.2076:
 

Your iOS app must use the native Login dialog that comes with Facebook’s SDKs instead of custom web views. Ensure you have successfully tested your Facebook Login integration for Single Sign On or remove this integration as a listed platform in the developer app. See more details here

 

Has this issue been fixed?

 

Thanks,

Alan.

There have been some changes to our Facebook API calls since 2076 came out.  We just released a new updated public build today, 2100.  Please download it and see if you are still having the issue.  This fixes a bunch of things, so it’s really best to move to the new public build as soon as you can.

I’m having the same issue where after logout, log back in, I get this error.

I’m using 1260 build.

It all works perfect on android, it’s just the iOS version that crashes.

Could I get more info on this?

Edit: I found out that it works on 1202 build.

Interesting thing I noted that was different from 1260 build and 1202 build was that when I do

1. login

2. logout

3. login

after third step, build 1260 would try to pull everything without jumping to and back from facebook app.

It pulls the data and displays it, but after that, it spits out the said error message and freezes.

1202 does the jumping and it works perfectly.

Hopefully this is not an issue with the graphics 2.0 builds as I will be building my new app on it.

Also, I hope this helped someone not spend 10 hours and stay up until 730 am like I just did.

Cheers,

@haakon

And here is a Bug #4, related to the other bugs. If you manage to log in, and then do facebook.logout, and then do another login, this exception is thrown:
 

Generic error

com.facebook.sdk:InvalidOperationException: FBSession: It is not valid to reauthorize while a previous reauthorize call has not yet completed.

did anyone ever figure this out?

Normal Facebook posts work fine, but when asking for user_photos permission I get this message from facebook.

Your app cannot embed the Facebook Login dialog inside a custom web view. Utilize our native Facebook Login SDK, so that users do not need to login twice. "

 

I am just using the standard Facebook integration with Corona, not the social plugin. 

 

Help!

@beesh, it sounds like you may not be setup to use the native facebook app to handle your login.   Please make sure to read:

@Rob I have done everything I can see in those instructions. 

I have the facebook app created with both SSO and Deep Linking Enabled. 

I have updated the appID in both build.settings plus with the the .lua executing the code. 

From what I see I am copy/pasting your guys exact code more or less. 

I am deploying it on one of my iOS devices. I have the Facebook app installed on that iOS device. 

Every time I go to post to facebook it pulls up the nativeWebView and not the Facebook App for login. 

I upgraded to the most recent public build today as well (2393) just to be sure. 

HELP this is holding me up big time and I have a deadline in a few weeks for this project and I cannot submit this to facebook w/o it getting rejected. 

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks
