Does anyone know of a good website that I can check to find out what are the mobile phones (smartphones) that support facebook apps (Facebook API calls and all that)?
I am pretty sure that all smartphones have facebook support except for blackberries, but I would still like to find a full list.
Blackberry currently has it in their AppWorld http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/680?lang=en
Nokia currently has it in their Ovi Store http://store.ovi.com/search?q=facebook
Saying that I don't believe there is a current "smart" phone that doesn't have a facebook app. I didn't link it, but Palm/HP WebOS also has a facebook app.
To also answer the API question I saw 3rd party apps on all platforms as well so I don't believe there is a current app market/platform that doesn't support the FB API.
It would be based more on OS. iOS, Android, and Windows 7 all support the calls. According to this SO Question, Blackberry works too.
There is also the Facebook Blackberry SDK

I have the same issue as described here: Corona facebook.logout() when the Official Facebook app is installed on device
The answer says that this is by design, but lot's of apps allow you to logout of Facebook and log back in as another user. Any idea why facebook.logout() doesn't do what the function implies it should do?
As a user of the Facebook native app, I would be highly agitated if another app I ran logged me out. I've been working with someone in the Corona forums asking the same question (Perhaps it's your post) who's building a Kiosk app, so I can see a need in that circumstance to want this feature. But given that mobile devices are highly tied to individuals, this is not a behavior that most people would want to see.
The Corona SDK facebook.logout()'s purpose is to disconnect the Corona SDK app from Facebook, cancelling the access Token. It was never intended to terminate the facebook app's user login.
Is it possible to list my iPhone app in iPhone's native photos app's share/send menu?
Some links says not possible. But then how facebook, twitter apps are allowed as those too are native apps not developed by apple.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Apple has made a special exception for Facebook and Twitter because of their integration with iOS. Any other apps cannot do that.
UPDATE:
Share extensions were introduced in iOS 8, which allow developers to add their apps to the list of sharing options in the system menu.
I am creating an app on iOS and i came across a scenario if a person does not have the facebook app installed but has Facebook. how does the game app handle that. you can only play the game if and only if you have facebook account?
You can use Single Sign On in Facebook.
So that the facebook will authenticate its user through facebook app if its installed otherwise through the safari.
Here is the Link also here.
Happy coding :)
If you targeted the older versions (below ios6) use Graph API.
If you targeted for newer version (ios 6 and above) use the native method
I'm trying to have my html5 site open the native iPhone Facebook app to authenticate users.
The site currently uses OAuth 2 on the server side - so it redirects everyone to the web version of Facebook. This is a problem because I dont want to force people to log in on a tiny keyboard.
Can you get the html5 app to open in Safari and authenticate through the native FB app?
If this is not possible with Facebook is it possible with Twitter apps? What is the experience like on android?
I do know that you can authenticate between a native iPhone app and the native Facebook app.
Yes you can do this just use the boilerplate code in facebook developers section of the site and following the guide exactly... I have tried this and it worked for me you just need to find a way to connect your oAuth to this...
I'm currently developing an app for nokia smart phone mobile using "display=touch", however the fb oauth dialog doesn't render properly on QWebview nor QML Webview.
When I use "display=wap", the fb oauth dialog renders properly.
Is it appropriate to use WAP for Nokia smart phones?
I also used display=wap, the same than you since touch didn't work OK, and I didn't notice any bad side-effects on Symbian. This was some time ago though (couple of months).
