FB Social Popoup not working if FB app s installed

If the user has the Facebook (Not paper app) app installed, the social plugin won’t display the message, it will pop up in blank and will only show the URL if you have one, please help me resolve this. Twitter is working fine by the way.

local function fbMessage(e)

    if e.phase == “began” then

        native.showPopup(“social”, fbOptions)

    end

end

fbOptions = {

        service = “facebook”,

        message = “Break the ice!!!”,

        url = "https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icecape/id967342487?mt=8",

    }

Facebook does not permit pre-filled messages.  It can show pre-filled URL’s and images only.

Thanks for the quick reply, is there any workaround? Because I know this issue occurs only if FB app is installed but if the user doesn’t have FB app installed or is using a different app to check FB, such as Paper, the message will pre-fill correctly.

No.  This is a Facebook rule.  It’s something they enforce.
