Facebook SDK FBLoginView getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS - iphone

Question

I'm following the HelloFacebookSample project bundled with the Facebook SDK 3.5. I've virtually copied and pasted everything into my own app, even the stuff from the AppDelegate, yet for some reason clicking the Login button freezes my app. Just for the record, everything authenticates correctly when connecting to the integrated framework in iOS 6, which is done through the FB SDK anyway. It's only when I try to log in using the web, i.e. hit the FBLoginView website opens, get authenticated, return to app. Here is the code in the samepl project, and I'll compare it to mine:
FBLoginView *loginview = [[FBLoginView alloc] init];
loginview.frame = CGRectOffset(loginview.frame, 5, 5);
loginview.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:loginview];
[loginview sizeToFit];
Mine is a little different:
loginview = [[FBLoginView alloc] init];
loginview.delegate = self;
[self.facebookCell addSubview:loginview];
[loginview sizeToFit];
As for the delegate methods, I've implemented them all verbatim. Why does the app crash? There is no valid reason for a crash when all the code is pretty much identical between my app and the sample app. The debugger doesn't help much even with Zombie Objects on. The actual error is: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=somethingoranother) Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
Regards,
Mike
UPDATE: It appears that the crash happens because something is recurring infinitely on a loop. Seems like over 100,000 processes were put on the main thread by the FB SDK! How?!
UPDATE 2: I'm beginning to think the error is here, even though I copied this straight from the sample AppDelegate.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation {
// attempt to extract a token from the url
return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url
sourceApplication:sourceApplication
fallbackHandler:^(FBAppCall *call) {
NSLog(#"In fallback handler");
}];
}
Does this help at all?

I'm having whats seems to be the exact problem, but I have my application sandbox mode already disabled. This app has been working perfectly before, but I just upgraded the SDK and now this happens.
If I have a facebook account configured in iOs, it will work ok, but if not, It will crash.
One thing worth mentioning is if I remove the url scheme, so the app can't go to the web browser or the facebook app, It will user a web view to log in and this works too
EDIT: As far as I'm able to tell, my problem relies in not having access to my application settings in facebook.
The facebook SDK does an [FBUtility fetchAppSettings:callback:] call, more specifically, it does an
https://graph.facebook.com/267496536695242?fields=supports_attribution,supports_implicit_sdk_logging,suppress_native_ios_gdp,name,
which in the case of my app fails with:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request.",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100
}
}
In comparision, any of the examples apps, for example this one, SessionLoginSample
https://graph.facebook.com/380615018626574?fields=supports_attribution,supports_implicit_sdk_logging,suppress_native_ios_gdp,name
returns correctly this:
{
"supports_attribution": true,
"supports_implicit_sdk_logging": true,
"suppress_native_ios_gdp": 0,
"name": "SessionLoginSample",
"id": "380615018626574"
}
Because the SDK expects something it keeps making the same request and gets stuck in a loop until the simulator crashes.
To confirm this, I've manually inserted the expected parameters in the callback, modifyng the facebook sdk, and now everything work perfectly.
It's worth mentioning that I upgraded the SDK from 2.0 which was deprecated, and there was a few parameters in the settings page that were outdated (no client token set, authorization as native/Desktop instead Web, without having the app secret key in the app) but I've already set them alright..
EDIT 2:
This is the method from Facebook SDK (in FBUtility.m) that I've modified. I only added the "bad stuff" if clause.
+ (void)fetchAppSettings:(NSString *)appID
callback:(void (^)(FBFetchedAppSettings *, NSError *))callback {
if (!g_fetchedAppSettingsError && !g_fetchedAppSettings) {
NSString *pingPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#?fields=supports_attribution,supports_implicit_sdk_logging,suppress_native_ios_gdp,name", appID, nil];
FBRequest *pingRequest = [[[FBRequest alloc] initWithSession:nil graphPath:pingPath] autorelease];
if ([pingRequest startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
// Bad stuff
if (error) {
error = nil;
result = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"true", #"supports_attribution",
#"true", #"supports_implicit_sdk_logging",
#"0", #"suppress_native_ios_gdp",
#"Your_App_Display_Name", #"name", nil];
}
if (error) {
g_fetchedAppSettingsError = error;
[g_fetchedAppSettingsError retain];
} else {
g_fetchedAppSettings = [[[FBFetchedAppSettings alloc] init] retain];
if ([result respondsToSelector:#selector(objectForKey:)]) {
g_fetchedAppSettings.serverAppName = [result objectForKey:#"name"];
g_fetchedAppSettings.supportsAttribution = [[result objectForKey:#"supports_attribution"] boolValue];
g_fetchedAppSettings.supportsImplicitSdkLogging = [[result objectForKey:#"supports_implicit_sdk_logging"] boolValue];
g_fetchedAppSettings.suppressNativeGdp = [[result objectForKey:#"suppress_native_ios_gdp"] boolValue];
}
}
[FBUtility callTheFetchAppSettingsCallback:callback];
}
]
);
} else {
[FBUtility callTheFetchAppSettingsCallback:callback];
}
}

Answer 2

Someone found the answer on another thread. In the Facebook Developer centre, the app was set to Sandboxing mode which is what caused this error. Seems it wasn't a problem with the code after all.

Answer 3

Facebook has fixed a server error that was causing this for a lot of developers. However, the server fix only makes the infinite loop problem less likely to happen. It is still there. I created a new bug to track the infinite loop problem.

Answer 4

It's a memory access error, because the loginView is in a __block space.
Just move your controller ( the loginView delegate ) in this zone and it should work.
FBLoginView *loginview = [[FBLoginView alloc] init];
static id staticDelegateInstance = self;
loginview.frame = CGRectOffset(loginview.frame, 5, 5);
loginview.delegate = staticDelegateInstance;
[self.view addSubview:loginview];
[loginview sizeToFit];
