facebook connect not working - iphone

This all is driving me nuts.
I just integrated facebook in my iphone app.
After typing in my username and password in the login dialog this method is called.
- (void)request:(FBRequest*)request didLoad:(id)result {
if ([request.method isEqualToString:#"facebook.fql.query"]) {
NSLog(#"result %#",result);
NSArray* users = result;
NSLog(#"users %#",users);
NSDictionary* user = [users objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* name = [user objectForKey:#"name"];
self.facebookName = name;
if (_posting) {
[self postToWall];
_posting = NO;
}
}
}
But after this the app crashes most of the times and when I tried to log the "result" array it appears to be empty. Why is it so?
What should I do? Please suggest.

use this code
NSArray *users=[[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:result, nil];
NSLog(#"users %#",users);
NSDictionary* user = [[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:users,#"users", nil];
NSLog(#"%#",user);

I got the reason for this.
This was due to the session getting lost frequently in between.
So I had to call [session resume] in the facebook login action event
and in this manner if at all the session is lost by any chance then the previous session is resumed and the "result" does not appears to be nil in (void)request:(FBRequest*)request didLoad:(id)result method.
Hope this helps out those who are stuck in the same issue.

XMPP authentication returns yes but XMPPStreamDidAuthenticate never called

I am trying to create an application that implements Facebook Chat. I have set up all of the XMPP stuff correctly to the best of my knowledge, but I cannot get it to work.
After the user has logged in and been authenticated to Facebook (via FBSession) I try to connect to the chat service. Here is where the XMPP comes in:
-(void)connect
{
[self setupStream];
NSError *err;
[self.xmppStream connectWithTimeout:10.00 error:&err];
}
-(void)setupStream
{
_xmppStream = [[XMPPStream alloc] initWithFacebookAppId:FACEBOOK_APP_ID];
[self.xmppStream addDelegate:self delegateQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];
}
- (void)xmppStreamDidConnect:(XMPPStream *)sender {
NSError *error;
NSError *err;
[self.xmppStream secureConnection:&err];
bool authed = [self.xmppStream authenticateWithFacebookAccessToken: FBSession.activeSession.accessTokenData.accessToken error:&error];
NSLog(#"%#", err);
NSLog(#"%#", [self.xmppStream authenticationDate]);
NSLog(#"%d, %#", authed, error);
}
- (void)xmppStreamDidAuthenticate:(XMPPStream *)sender {
NSLog(#"did authenticate");
[self goOnline];
}
When running the above, everything seems to go fine: xmppStreamDidConnect is called after a short wait and authed always returns YES and its error is always null.
However, secureConnection returns Error Domain=XMPPStreamErrorDomain Code=1 "Please wait until the stream is connected." UserInfo=0xb23dc30 {NSLocalizedDescription=Please wait until the stream is connected.} The authenticationDate is always null as well. Also, none of the other delegate methods are ever called, including xmppStreamDidAuthenticate. What am I doing wrong?
I have finally found my answer!! Here it is, in case anyone else runs in to the same problem as me:
When calling openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:allowLoginUI:completionHandler: the FBSession object does not actually communicate with the Facebook servers or attempt to authenticate with them, it simply loads the previous authenticationToken. In my case, this token had become invalid, but I did not realize it and nothing was there to tell me. I finally figured it out by logging the token and putting it in Facebook's Access Token Debugger. To check if your token is valid, you must call [FBSession renewSystemCredentials:] and await the result. Then you can determine if you need to manually closeAndClearTokenInformation before attempting to create a new token.

iphone - return fbid to use it in json web service to receive data

I've been looking around, saw similar posts, but nothing like this that could give me answers. This is my setup and flow of the app:
User has to login via Facebook, using Facebook Graph. LoginView is presented modally, non animated
When user logins I can retrieve FBID and I use this fbid to send it to my web service (REST)
Web service gets the FBID from the NSURL and matches it with database to retrieve other user info
Using JSONserialization i parse the JSON received from web service and display it in the view
PROBLEM: Everything returns NULL except FBID that I get from Facebook. BUT, if I logout from Facebook and then login, that's when it works.
Here is my code:
viewDidAppear method:
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:NO];
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
[self populateUserDetails];
}
//Connect to WebService
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://atnightcorp.com/api/member/id/%#/format/json", fbid]];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
NSArray *pics = [member valueForKeyPath:#"photos"];
NSString *picCount = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [pics count]];
[photosCount setTitle:picCount forState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSLog(#"PHOTO: %#", picCount);
NSLog(#"FB: %#", fbid);
}
I tried putting NSURL request and connection code in viewDidLoad, but then I don't get anything back.
My NSURLConnection methods:
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
data = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)theData
{
[data appendData:theData];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
member = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:nil];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
UIAlertView *errorView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"The download could not complete. Please make sure you are connected to internet" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Dismiss" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorView show];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
}
The populateUserDetails method that you have seen above:
- (void)populateUserDetails
{
if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
[[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:
^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user,
NSError *error) {
if (!error) {
self.userProfileImage.profileID = user.id;
self.navigationItem.title = user.name;
self.fbid = user.id;
}
}];
}
}
This method basically sets the FBID once user is logged in. Other important things you should know that could help you understand my project:
FBID is set as NSString property in my .H file
All facebook connect thing goes on in AppDelegate
I need to dynamically set the NSURL after I find out who the user is.
if I manually input FBID in NSURL, then it works.
everything should be executed when user logins, I think that the timing of retrieving fbid and receiving data from web service is wrong but I can't get to fix it.
IF you need anything else, I will elaborate more and post more code if needed. -
PLEASE HELP as I've been looking for answers for last 3 days.
Your problem is that the populateUserDetails is called and it returns without waiting the code to be executed (because it's an async task with a completition handler, and when you call the NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://atnightcorp.com/api/member/id/%#/format/json", fbid]]; for the first time, the fbid is nuil or not set properly (also you should use self.fbid not fbid since fbid is a property).
So you should try to move the whole code that is handling the request from viewDidAppear into a separate method and you should call that method from startWithCompletionHandler after you set the line with self.fbid = user.id
Also call [super viewDidAppear:animated]; not with NO param (this won't solve your problem but this is the right way to do it)

facebookErrDomain error 10000 when calling graph api Facebook ios

I'm struggling with the graph api for a few days now and I can't seem to get any further.
In my appdelegate i've placed the following code within the didFinishLaunching
facebook = [[Facebook alloc] initWithAppId:#"cut-app-id-out"];
NSArray* permissions = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"email", #"user_location", #"user_events", #"user_checkins", #"read_stream", nil] retain];
[facebook authorize:permissions delegate:self];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"test message from stackoverflow", #"message",
nil];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"/me/feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];
as you can see i'm trying to get the users feed out. I use the following code to place the data into a proper dictionary.
- (void)request:(FBRequest*)request didLoad:(id)result
{
if ([result isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
NSLog(#"count : %d ", [result count]);
NSArray* resultArray = [result allObjects];
NSLog(#"count : %d ", [result count]);
result = [resultArray objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"count : %d ", [result count]);
result = [result objectAtIndex:0];
}
}
But the didFailWithError: function gives me the following error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (facebookErrDomain error 10000.)
I've place the FBRequestDelegate in my interface file as following:
#interface TabbedCalculationAppDelegate : NSObject
<FBRequestDelegate>{
Is there something what i'm missing?
There's a lot more needed to handle Facebook responses, especially after authorization. You're not going to be able to make calls against the Facebook API immediately after the authorize method. Please see their sample code which shows how to respond to the various events which you will need to do, most importantly the fbDidLogin and fbDidNotLogin ones. Only once you have a successful login should you access the Graph API.
In addition, it looks like you're trying to post a message with the Graph API. Unfortunately that's not the way to do it and a call like [facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed" andDelegate:self]; is meant for read-only use. Again, look at the above link for an example of how to use the publish_stream permission (their code has a publishStream example method).

To display permission page in facebook of iphone

I am new to iphone development, i want to display the permission page after logging facebook.
buttonIndex is the index of my actionsheets.
if(buttonIndex == 1)
{
session = [FBSession sessionForApplication:#"My App key" secret:#"My Key" delegate:self];
FBLoginDialog* dialog = [[[FBLoginDialog alloc] initWithSession:session] autorelease];
[dialog show];
}
by using those code successfully loggin to facebook, but i want to permission page to display,
so i can use,
- (void)session:(FBSession*)session didLogin:(FBUID)uid
{
NSLog(#"User with id %lld logged in.", uid);
FBPermissionDialog* dialog1 = [[[FBPermissionDialog alloc] init] autorelease];
dialog1.delegate = self;
dialog1.permission = #"uid";
[dialog1 show];
}
But its not working. Where can i put that code.
And I want to share my content after the permission allowed.
If i logout the facebook, it goes to the browser but i want to return my application after logout,
Please help me out, guide me plz.
I would change this dialog1.permission = #"uid"; to something like this
dialog1.permission = #"publish_stream";. Because you want to publish your content to the users stream, right?
- (void)session:(FBSession*)session didLogin:(FBUID)uid
After loggin in I would first check if you might already have the permission to publish to the user's stream, by creating a FBRequest
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: #"publish_stream", #"ext_perm", nil];
[[FBRequest requestWithDelegate:self] call:#"facebook.users.hasAppPermission" params:params];
The result you can evaluate here
- (void)request:(FBRequest*)request didLoad:(id)result
e.g. like this
if ([request.method isEqualToString:#"facebook.users.hasAppPermission"])
{
NSString *success = result;
if ([success isEqualToString:#"1"])
{
NSLog(#"User has app permission");
// publish content now
...
}
else
{ // else ask for permission, opening permission dialog
...
}
I highly recommend this guy's tutorial, Brandon Treb, on integrating Facebook. He does a very thorough presentation and takes you line-by-line, so if it does not work, its a typo on your part. His tutorial got me up and running in less than two hours.
