Hello,
I just got the following warning from Facebook:
Your Facebook SDK is out-of-date. Please upgrade to v5.0 for access to new privacy features.
I am using the v4a plugin. Is this something Corona plans to update anytime soon?
Does this affect you in any way? I’m just curious.
After about 4 years on GooglePlay, my app got this:
We’ve restricted this app for violating the Facebook Platform Policies. During Login, your Android app is crashing or hanging excessively, creating a broken experience for people trying to use your app.
Nothing has changed in the app and the same code works perfectly for iOS.
Oh not good. When was the last time you updated?
You mean uploaded a new version to GooglePlay? In April.
Talked to FB support, they temporarily lifted the restriction so that I can test the issue. Please see the attached image of the error message. No details, just that FB cannot be used to log in.
I use FB login a lot and have not encountered this! Share your login code and I’ll compare it to mine.
Just got an answer from Facebook support regarding the error i mentioned in my previous post. Turns out it was something completely different; they claim that I have not specified a valid redirect URI in the app login settings. Strangely, log in in works perfectly fine on some devices, but not others.
Please see the attached image for my OAuth settings. Which one of these is the v4a plugin using?
Mine looks nothing like that. I have an iOS and an Adroid settings block. No web stuff.
On your Facebook developers page for your app, in the menu to the left you have the headline “Products” and directly below “Facebook Login”. Below that is the link “Settings”, there you will find the settings in the image in my previous post.
oh apart from enforce https ON mine is identical to yours
@SGS: ok, thanks!
@Corona staff: are you planning on updating the Facebook v4a plugin too meet the Facebook requirements?
We are not thinking about anything past Android 64 bit right now. I’m certain that the next big ticket item after that will need to be a public build that’s pretty high priority. In between we will need to fix AdMob and probably the Facebook plugin.

@Rob AdMob plugin for sure but I know you know this already (Unity is not so good on revenue)
@DM, I do a significant amount of FB stuff - enough to measure on rate limiting. There isn’t a problem with the FB plugin (apart from being a bit out of date). The problem is with how you are using it. The clue is when they say "During Login, your Android app is crashing or hanging excessively, creating a broken experience for people trying to use your app. " If you can share some code I might be able to advise you.
@SGS: With the help of FB support, I found out that there was a problem with the key hash (as configured on my FB developer account pages). It also turned out that the “crash” they referred to was that it was not possible to log in. The strange thing, however, was that it only failed sometimes. Many times it worked perfectly well. I have now changed the key hash and have made an appeal to FB to review it again.
