I was looking for a way to integrate my CodenameOne app with Facebook. Particularly to collect data aimed to improve the adds shown on Facebook to users who have, for example, installed the app. What I found for integration with Facebook on CN1 is (mainly) this https://www.codenameone.com/javadoc/com/codename1/social/FacebookConnect.html
This seems useful for publishing photos or posts to Facebook as a user, but not for gathering data as I need it. Is there a way to access this part of the Facebook SDK in CN1? If there isn´t is this planned for the future?
The connect API is designed for authorization and authentication which need to be native. From that point on you can use the token against the standard Facebook Graph API.
I'm not really familiar with the marketing API but does it require functionality from the native SDK which isn't available in the current SDK?

I'm currently working on a project where I'm "tracking" down public instagram users' statics.
But I'm encountering an issue, I'm able to get my own profile but not other's profile, even if their profile is public.
On my Facebook developer's app I don't have the authorizations to use their API (basic / graph profile), but to fill the form I need to show to Facebook how I'm using it on my website, but everything is currently backend, and I can't work on a frontend page if I can't test my api on other profile.
What am I supposed to do ?
PS: I don't mind the language, if it's functional I will adapt it to my system's language.
Best regards :)
I don't think you will get API approval for such purpose (but who knows..) so your best bet might be unofficial API wrappers from github.
Is it possible to register my FB application to use Facebook REST API?
Or is it possible to authenticate in facebook mobile app with no redirection?
You do not need to register an app with a particular API - just go ahead and use it, the instructions are all there. However, Facebook recommends that you do not use the REST API as it is no longer being supported or updated. Use the Graph API and/or FQL - these are under active development and they're what most of the development community use.
Regarding the mobile app issue, could you give a little more detail? The OS and SDK you're using, for example?
I am looking for the SDK to integrate Twitter into my iOS App. I have done research, and seem that MGTwitterEngine is what most people recommend. However, MGTwitterEngine only provides access to the Twitter API, but not the UI.
I also looked a few iPhone app with Twitter integration, such as SCVNGR, FriendsAroundMe, Hashable, they all have the same login page. However, I couldn't find out what SDK these apps use.
I wonder whether there is any SDK release (from Twitter would be the best), which includes both the SDK with standard UI implementation, and some demo code.
Thanks for your advice.

The login UI for these apps is probably a UIWebView. I say probably because I haven't seen those apps that you've mentioned. The login for Twitter is usually handled in a UIWebView, because Twitter requires OAuth. Since the login is done in a UIWebView, Twitter actually provides that UI.
I would recommend ShareKit for basic Twitter interactions, like posting. ShareKit handles the UIWebView for you. edit: ShareKit (0.2.1) seems to have some memory leak issues. Use at your own risk.
I have a project that builds oAuth and streaming on top of MGTE. The project includes a demo that does authentication in a web view, and streams tweets to a table view.

You can integrate Twitter via Twitter API which requires OAuth. And OAuth requires web-browser in any form. All the other parts can be done without web-browser, but authentication requires it.
You can hack those OAuth web pages in background via UIWebView's JavaScript interface, but the log-in page changes often. And your users will experience log-in trouble until you update hacking algorithm.
In fact, Twitter offers another authentication method called xAuth. You can authenticate completely in background without browser with this protocol, but you have to be approved about using of this protocol from Twitter company via direct contact. I don't think regular startup service can acquire the approval.
I don't think OAuth offer any better security or protection, but this is the only card which I can use without trust from Twitter.
The official Twitter Kit SDK support was discontinued in 2018.
As an alternative solution for displaying Tweets in your app without Twitter Kit, you can render Embedded Tweets and Timelines within webviews using Twitter for Websites.

I don't quite know how to explain this but I want to build an app that can access a website like, for example, Facebook, but I don't actually want it to be Facebook's website in the sense that I want to design the UI. There is a couple of apps like this already in the app store, one being called "Facebook Touch HD". I have managed to get an app to access Facebook with UIWebView, but it just goes to Facebook's mobile website, obviously.
Look at the Facebook IOS SDK.
You probably want to fetch data from Facebook using its APIs. Facebook actually offers a library for iOS, so you may want to check it out.
In general, this applies to any site that offers an API. Usually you can use NSURLConnection to make requests to get the data you're interested in (check the specific API's documentation for details); then you have parse that data (most services output data in XML or JSON).
Hi I need a latest tutorial on Authentication using the new Graph API and building an App with the graph API.
I am new to facebook Apps and wanted to build a HelloWorld App with basic functionalities like Authentication, Publishing etc.
Thanks for your responses.
What is wrong with the documentation on facebook: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api
Also you did not specify what language your tutorial should focus on? There is a huge difference for a tutorial depending on which programming language you choose. Also it shouldn't be too hard to google for such a tutorial.
