On our server-side authentication with Facebook we get a random and weird issue. Facebook calls the call back URL two times with the same code. This is only happening for some users and not on every login.
This is the flow we have implemented on our side: https://developers.facebook.com/…/manually-build-a-login-fl… . We have been using it since the beginning of 2013 and we haven't noticed any issues so far.
And this is the error we get when we are exchanging the code for an access token the second time.
{"error":{"message":"This authorization code has been used.","type":"OAuthException","code":100,"fbtrace_id":"traceID"}}
We tried to log this issue as a bug on https://developers.facebook.com/bugs but unfortunately it doesn't work.
It keeps showing unexpected error. Not to mention that i was unable to find the correct bug category.
Any idea on how we can fix this?
Thanks!
Could it be that users are clicking twice to process auth service? Try disabling the button before calling Facebook auth service
What language are you using?
I just had this problem in Ruby using Devise for Rails. I had created an omniauth.rb initializer file, and added a config line item in the devise.rb initializer file.
If you did this too, you can remove the omniauth.rb initializer file and you should be good to go!
I've been trying to get OAuth 2.0 to work correctly. I have managed to make the url that that will do the "deny/allow" for my app by opening a webpage with just
Application.OpenUrl(uri.ToString());
The problem is that I have no idea how to get the redirect and the auth token from the page if the user hits allow. When you hit allow, right now nothing happens it just sits on the page. Checking Networking in chrome debug does have the redirect and token there but it never actually sends it..
I was recommended to use RestSharp but I again have no idea how to use it with Unity as there are lot of resources for Android/iOS PC etc. but I can't get any of them to work for this Unity project...
var client = new RestClient("https://www.fitbit.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=*clientID*&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2FfitRPGcallback&scope=activity%20profile%20sleep%20social");
Debug.Log("client made");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.Resource = ("profile%20sleep%20social");
client.ExecuteAsync(request, response => { Debug.Log("response is : " + response.Content);});
Application.OpenURL(client.BaseUrl.ToString());
In the URL I do have the correct clientID in there as well just not sure what I can and can't show for security reasons etc.
Biggest problem is just having no idea how to get the return value from the webpage after the user hits allow/deny...
Any insights would be super super appreciated cause I just want to start making the actual game but there's not as much point if I can't get this data...
So, I'm posting on a few other applicable questions as well since I have finally figured out my answer.
Unfortunately I'm not using REST so that part is still up in the air BUT I did get it to work with just Fitbit, Unity and a Webview plugin (you will need a webview OR a way to get the initial code back from your first OAuth2 call)
You can find steps here.

EDIT:
So I had to change how I did it because Fitbit changed their ToS where we are no longer allowed to use Webview based Authenticators (which is what I was using in the above blogpost.)
Give this next post a look for how to make an Android Plugin that will grab the Accesstoken from Fitbit's OAuth. This is a FREE way to do it since you make it yourself and it's ezmode :)

I've create an facebook app and it run smoothly at
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/
But the problem is: when I search my app name "icoloring star" in facebook, it link to the app at url:
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/?fb_source=search&ref=ts
Then facebook said that:
App "iColoring Star" is unavailable
The app "iColoring Star" is temporarily unavailable due to an issue with its third-party developer. We are investigating the situation and apologize for any inconvenience.
We found that url part "ref=ts" cause above problem, but really do not know why?
Could you explain me why and how to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much.
It sounds like your code is failing when the ref parameter is supplied in the request path.
I was able to repro this with any arbitrary value in the ref parameter when accessing your app
Check your server logs and and see if you're returning a 500 error to facebook when the request comes in
See if you have any code that parses a ref parameter and check it's not throwing exceptions
Make sure your callback URL in the app settings doesn't also specify a ref parameter or your app may receive two values and/or fail entirely
It means 'Top Search'. User enter a query into the top of search.
There are some ref parameters.. ref=bookmarks for example. I dont know the full list.
Did you put your app on Facebook App Center?
Well i started of by following all the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo
I used the recommended fork of the facebook api and tried the latest from:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/
My problem starts with the following error:
< failure xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl">< not-authorized/></failure>
The error is a reply from facebook to xmppframework s response to a authentication challenge. The response that is made by the iphone is base64 encoded msg when i decode it i find 2 of the values are null:
api_key=(null)
and the
session_key=(null)
This is obviously the reason facebook is returning that error. But the problem i have is i cant seem to find any where to set these values in the framework. Besides i think the session_key should be pulled in from facebook anyway.
I guess what i want to know is a couple of things.
Has any one got the xmppframework working with facebook on a iDevice?
If you have got it working did you have to stray from the path of the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo ?
do you know of any other method to get facebook chat working on the iphone?
Any suggestions or help for my current dilemma would be appreciated. Happy to share my code if you want.
cheers
I wrote the Facebook integration for XMPPFramework. The api_key and session_key, come from a call to auth.PromoteSession. Facebook is trying to deprecate that call, so to enable it, you must follow step 7, in the HowTo:
Under Migrations, change Disable Deprecated Auth Methods from Enabled to Disabled and Save Changes.
The title really says it all. Under some (undetermined) conditions FB.getLoginStatus() just stops working and won't invoke the callback I gave it. The only interesting clues I've found are
FB.Auth._loadState is stuck on "loading" -- whatever is supposed to make it click over to "loaded" isn't happening
slight delays like putting in alert() calls tend to make it start working
Any hints at all about even how to investigate this welcome.
This usually happens for me when I am running the page under a different domain from what has been registered in Facebook. Typically this is when I am developing locally.
If you are running locally, you'll have to set up a local web server and then modify your hosts file to point the the registered domain to 127.0.0.1 in order to test on your local machine. Don forget to remove that line from the hosts file when you want to test it on the server.
According to:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/240058389381072
You cannot put your application under sandbox mode, or else it won't work. Go into your app settings, advanced, and switch it. This stumped me for a couple hours until I happened upon the bug report.
I had similar problem with FB API. It turned out, that my Facebook App was misconfigured. Please make sure that this is not the case for you. My problem was that my "Site URL" param in FB application was pointing to https, but I was using http protocol for development. Any call against FB api after FB.init was not calling my callback functions. So the first thing to do should be to double check App config.
Now, if some reason you depend on FB api but you wish to have a fallback option in case it;s inoperative - workaround with timer should be ok for you. Just set up a timer and disable it if FB Api gives you proper response. If not - fallback to some custom function which will perform some additional logic.
function callFbApi() {
var timeoutHandler = setTimeout(function() { requestFailed(); }, 1000);
function requestFailed() {
// When this happens, it means that FB API was unresponsive
doSomeFallbackWork();
alert('hey, FB API does not work!');
}
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
clearTimeout(timeoutHandler); // This will clear the timeout in case of proper FB call
doSomeUsualWorkAfterFbReplies();
return false;
}, true);
}
If your application is in sandbox mode, Facebook acts as if your application is invisible to anyone who is not listed as an application developer. If you're not logged in, then it would stand to reason that your app is now invisible.
The callback will only fire if you're initializing with a visible application. Otherwise the following response is returned:
<span>Application Error: There was a problem getting data for the application you requested. The application may not be valid, or there may be a temporary glitch. Please try again later. </span>
For more info please see my comment on this bug ticket:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/240058389381072
Maybe you are using the asynchronous call. The same thing happened when I called FB.init with window.fbAsyncInit. All I did was delay the FB.getLoginStatus with a setTimeout function
window.setTimeout(checkLogStatus, 1000);
function checkLogStatus(){
alert("check");
// fetch the status on load
FB.getLoginStatus(handleSessionResponse);
}
It seemed to work after that
On the new version of the Developer app, you have to make sure to have put the correct URL you are using to access the application in the Website field under the
Select how your app integrates with Facebook
section.
Make sure the protocol is HTTPS and not HTTP.
I had a similar problem. The site worked every time when I was opening the browser, but fails when I tried to reload.
The cause was the missing "www" on the site name on Facebook configurations. Note that putting "www" (like www.yoursite.com) works on both situations (yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com).
As others have posted, you must be accessing your site at the same URL that facebook expects. For example if facebook has a callback "example.com" but you're browser has "www.example.com", that can cause this problem.
In addition, if third-party cookies are not allowed by your browser, you may also see this problem. Or you may see the callback erroneously reporting the user is not connected.
Just posting a situation I had were calling FB.getLoginStatus got absolutely no response.
My application is designed to run in a tab, and I only entered the Page Tab URLs on the app admin page, and not the App On Facebook (i.e. Canvas) URLs. The tab loads perfectly, but any calls to the FB JS SDK provoke no response.
In Facebook App Settings, go to Client OAuth Settings, look at Valid OAuth redirect URIs
Make sure you have listed all URIs which are the domains from which Facebook SDK is being invoked. For example:
I develop at localhost:5000 and deploy to Heroku. Notice the format: http://domain.name/
