I'm using the official FBConnect library for iOS and trying to get it working in my iPad app. Here's what's strange: when my friend logs in using the call to authorize:permissions:delegate, everything works fine: the dialog asks for his authorization to connect to Facebook, the fbDidLogin delegate method gets called, all is well.
However, when I try to login, the dialog never changes. The keyboard is dismissed, the password field is cleared and it just sits there. The issue is the same in both the simulator and on the device.
Here are the things I've checked and triple checked:
My login name and password are correct. If I do put in the wrong password, an "invalid username/password" message appears, and that isn't happening.
The application is not in sandbox mode.
The Application ID is correct (my friend can login without problems).
Some additional information:
Original application was created by my friend.
I created a second FB app and put in the new Application ID
My friend can login with the new Application ID
I can log in to neither.
This appears to suggest that there is something different about my friend's account, rather than the app itself.
We've been banging our heads together on this for a couple of days now. What could be causing this behaviour? Why isn't an error being generated?
Edit: It seems there are a lot of people affected by this, so in the interest of trying to find an answer, I've added a bounty.
There appears to be a server-side problem with Facebook logins as noted here:
http://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues#issue/95
People have said that if they change their password on Facebook they are subsequently able to log in using the Facebook-iOS-SDK downloaded from github. Obviously that is a poor long-term solution and would be unacceptable in an app released through the App Store. On the bright side, there seem to be reports of similar login problems logging in from apps on other platforms as well.
Update: Facebook has a bug filed on this subject that can be viewed here:

I am using parse facebook login for new users of my app. Most users are able to use it without a problem and I have successfully tested all Facebook login scenarios. Some users, however, report that when they press the login button they see brief activity indicator and then nothing happens. In code, no error is registered but the user is not brought beyond the login page to the app's initial screen. The problem resolved if the user deletes the app from their Facebook app settings and then tries again. Has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution? Thanks
Not sure if this ever got resolved for you.
There are multiple possible causes for this of course including your own code. However, we've seen a similar issue with 2 causes / solutions.
UX-wise we detect multiple failed logins (typically with no error code) and then pop a notification telling the user how to solve. Still digging for a code-level solution that'll solve either of these issues permanently (if you found one, please post!) but hope these help & let you know you're not crazy.
Issue #1: User is logged into multiple Facebook accounts from the same device (e.g. a primary account and an org or 2ndary account).
Fix #1: Have user log out of all Facebook instances (app, safari, iOS settings) and then log back in.
Issue #2: User has rejected Facebook permissions.
Fix #2: For iOS, make sure Your App is toggled on in Settings -> Facebook -> Your App
I have Facebook's SSO working properly in my iPhone app and most of my users have not been experiencing any issues. However, a small number of them have been reporting errors with Facebook Connect and not being able to create an account. After an email exchange with one, we determined that the app permission toggle under Settings->Facebook was somehow set to disallow my app from using Facebook.
I have since added an error message telling the user this might be the case but my question is how did this switch get toggled in the first place? It would seem that a user would have to manually toggle this switch, right? I also looked for an API method that might do this e.g. rejecting Facebook SSO the first time a user saw the dialog asking for permission; I could not find any such code.
Any ideas? I'm hoping this problem will solve itself with the error dialog I've put in but if possible, I'd like to remove this issue altogether.
As far as I know, using the native dialog with iOS6 and rejecting the permissions request (the first one, at least, not sure about requests which are asking an existing user for more permissions) will toggle that switch
If you need to debug, try uninstalling the app from your facebook profile (a HTTP DELETE request to /<USER ID>/permissions will do this, or you can do it in the facebook app settings), remove the iOS app, then install it and try to connect for 'the first time' again
My iOS application allows me to login using my own facebook account successfully. But when I send it on test flight to a friend, the app downloads but when he presses connect to Facebook (which works on my simulator and personal device), it won't let him log in. Doesn't even give him the option to, just spits out an error (com.facebook.sdk error 2). What am I missing? What would cause it to work for me, but not for others? I'm just looking for a general answer here because I followed all the facebook tutorials and I can't imagine what kind of thing could be going wrong.
I just figured out the problem. Should have been SUPER obvious, but being new to development I didn't realize I needed to change the sandbox setting to disabled in order to allow others to access facebook through my app.
This error pops up when your app is not authenticated properly.
You need to keep your BundleId the same at all places.
Change your bundleId in the app that you have registered on Facebook as com.asdad.casd instead of < teamId >.com.asdad.casd
I am using the facebook-iphone-sdk framework to integrate my iPhone app to FB. The problem is when I click the button it gives an error "The application you are using is misconfigured for the Facebook integration. Please download the latest version of the app."
I was able to connect with FB only once. For the first time it worked fine and I was also able to post some data into my wall but afterwords it not working, and the above error occurs.
What could I be doing wrong?
The Bundle ID is case sensitive so watch out for that.
e.g. com.myapp.MyApp is not the same as com.myapp.myapp
This happened to me and gave the same error message.
May be you are using the deprecated API of facebook... Please use the New FBGraph API for facebook integration ....
How to share or post by mail, twitter and facebook from the current application?
This is not only about email... here you will find the tutorial and sample code for facebook integration.....!!
Possible Solutions:
1) Double Check that you are putting in the right facebook app id in your code, and that you didnt somehow overwrite that when you made it work the first time.
2) Check that in the facebook developer profile you have all the proper things set up (They have decent doc's for how to set up properly).
3) Check that you are using the most up to date version of the SDK for fb.
4) Consider using the built-in Facebook for iOS6, since you probably wont be releasing your app before iOS 6 comes out anyways.
5) If all else fails, start over and go through the instructions from beginning to end. Check and re-check everything you set up and carefully scan for little typos or something. It's probably a minor mistake somewhere that you're overlooking.
6) Post code if you want more specific help. An error message isnt enough to deduce what your problem is.
Just delete you app from facebook dashboard, create it again, and then change the facebookID in you App-Info.plist, in the key FacebookAppId and URL types array key. I did it and my app works fine.
Delete facebook app, force perform login in safari..
I'm not sure whether my fb-app is banned by automated bot. Currently with PHP-SDK, getUser() returns 0 no matter what. It all used to be working fine till a few days before. I'm getting an access token but since getUSer() is always returning NULL, the app is not working. I didn;t have much of code changes except for opengraph meta-tags, like button and google +1 button in my webpage.
Is there any way i could check if my app is not banned?
I haven't got any mail yet regarding this.
It doesn't show up in my list of apps even though i have used it recently.
But it shows up ins search.
Log into Facebook with an account that is an administrator of your app
Then navigate to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps or more directly you could go to
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/{yourAppId}/summary
