Hey guys,
Does anyone know how the recent Breaking Changes announced by Facebook affect Corona developers? As far as I can tell from their technobable, everything should be fine. Also, is there any way of testing the app against these changes?

I just got an email from Facebook about this also. So I’m curious if I need to do anything different also. It says I need to update my app and once it is compliant, set the migration setting to “Enabled” in the Advanced section of the app dashboard.

I went to my Facebook app page, the Settings/Advanced I think and then enabled the Feb Breaking Changes bullet. I went to my app, live in the app store, and successfully posted my “Facebook Share” from the app.
It didn’t break anything for me, maybe I just got lucky.

Well, you may not have read the breaking page at Facebook. Are you using the dialog or post call to post on Facebook? And are you posting to another user’s page, if so with the ‘post’ api call it may fail in a few days on the 6th. Read below what it says about what they are taking away Feb 6th. This is going to break a lot of existing apps out there.
Removing ability to post to friends walls via Graph API
We will remove the ability to post to a user’s friends’ walls via the Graph API. Specifically, posts against [user_id]/feed where [user_id] is different from the session user, or stream.publish calls where the target_id user is different from the session user, will fail. If you want to allow people to post to their friends’ timelines, invoke the feed dialog. Stories that include friends via user mentions tagging or action tagging will show up on the friend’s timeline (assuming the friend approves the tag). For more info, see this blog post.

Warren, I am using post, but I think I’m only posting to the user’s wall. I hope it continues to work, as there is not a lot I can do about it now anyways.
I agree, I would think this will impact other devs, maybe even me, I just don’t know as I’m certainly not an expert on Facebook integration. Heck, I was thrilled just to be able to get it to work when I integrated it.
I certainly wasn’t attempting to demean your post, I was just passing along my current experience.

I’m fine, I was just trying to pass on some information I read also to help you and everyone out. I still don’t fully understand what all of this means posted on Facebook exactly. I have been trying to post to another person’s Facebook page with the post but can only post to my own so far. I think you should be good based on what you said though. Let us know if it breaks after Feb. 6th!

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the info. Like xnailbender, I’m only posting to the current users’ own wall. However I think I might try changing it to use the feed dialog that was mentioned (providing Corona supports it) to post to other people’s feeds (or is that annoying?)

Are you going to post a local file or one from the web? If from a local file I owuld love to see the code for this because I cannot tell how to do this or if it is even possible with a file on the phone.
Thanks!
