I am working on an app and would like to know how to automatically redirect someone to their profile page or a home page after they login into my app?
If relevant I am using the Parse UI to log in and sign up and coding in swift and using Xcode7
Any advice welcomed
PFLoginViewController has a delegate with calls that you can use to indicate when a user has successfully logged in. I believe it gets called when a user signs up as well, but I could be mistaken.
You can use those calls to signal a successful login/signup and then redirect to the appropriate view controller from there. If you want any more advice, you will need to be more specific with your question.
As far as I understand you want to redirect your user to specific view controller if user already logged in ? You can use below code in your app delegate file.
var currentUser = Parse.User.currentUser()
if currentUser != nil {
// Your redirect code
}
I am trying to create a class that will handle contain all Facebook methods, and to call methods from other classes when required;
And this is how i am calling these methods (from a another viewController)
I have added a button and on its click event i add the following code;
FBClass *fb= [[FBClass alloc] init];
[fb fbLogin];
[fb accesstokenDetails];
This program works perfectly, i asks the user for the credentials and then ask the user to type something to share, and it also post to the FB wall. But the program crashes with the sharing screen;
What should i do to prevent this ?
I have seen a lot of questions here regarding the Facebook Graph API but I still haven't find a solution for simple 'login'/'logout' operations using it. Looks like the Single Sign-On style is causing more confusion than benefits.
I'd like to know if it is possible have the following situation:
Enter in the app (no accessToken/expirationDate created).
Perform a login using SSO by calling authorize:delegate: method (application goes background and the login is made in the 'global' scope (Facebook App/Mobile Safari), asking for the user credentials.
Enter back in the app (now logged in, both accessToken and expirationDate are saved to NSUserDefaults).
Perform a logout by calling the logout: method (now logged out, both accessToken and expirationDate are removed from NSUserDefaults)
Attempt to perform a login again, with exactly the same steps done in 2.
I realize that when I call logout:, I do really log out from Facebook (accessToken is invalidated) from my App scope, not from the global scope (Facebook App/Mobile Safari). In 5.) when I try to log in again, the application goes to background and the login attempt is made again in Facebook App/Mobile Safari as usual, however I'm getting a screen saying that I'm already logged in:
You have already authorized .... Press "Okay" to continue.
Logged in as ... (Not You?).
It's a strange behavior for the user that has just logged out in my App.
My question is:
"Can I really log out from facebook (I mean 'global' scope) from inside my App? This would affect other apps using the facebook credentials too. However, if I can't to do this, how can I avoid the 'strange behavior' describe above?
Thanks
Eduardo,
I feel your pain! I spent the better part of a day working on this issue. I have discovered that when you use SSO and the call:
Called from your code:
[facebook logout:self];
Facebook API method:
- (void)logout:(id<FBSessionDelegate>)delegate {
self.sessionDelegate = delegate;
[_accessToken release];
_accessToken = nil;
[_expirationDate release];
_expirationDate = nil;
NSHTTPCookieStorage* cookies = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
NSArray* facebookCookies = [cookies cookiesForURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://login.facebook.com"]];
for (NSHTTPCookie* cookie in facebookCookies) {
[cookies deleteCookie:cookie];
}
if ([self.sessionDelegate respondsToSelector:#selector(fbDidLogout)]) {
[_sessionDelegate fbDidLogout];
}
}
The facebook API does invalidate the access token and expirationdate variables and attempts to delete the mobile Safari cookies, but for some reason, probably Apple's fault the cookies are not really deleted. So when you attempt to login in the next time your mobile Safari will see the cookie and it says:
"You have already authorized .... Press "Okay" to continue. Logged in as ... (Not You?)."
Until either Facebook finds a fix or Apple fixes their broken API we must bypass SSO through Safari. Below are the changes I made to Facebook.m in order to force the old login dialog. If you used these changes they may not work forever but it is my guess that they will work for a very long time. Also to be sure this worked with the most recent facebook API I updated to the latest as of this post (Nov 2011 build).
Called from your code:
[facebook authorize:permissions];
Facebook API method:
- (void)authorize:(NSArray *)permissions {
self.permissions = permissions;
// [self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:YES];
[self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:NO safariAuth:NO];
}
If this helps you please up rate this thread and my post to help others find it.

I'm afraid the answer is no, you can't do this.
Your application is in a sandbox, and can't write outside, where global cookies are (for mobile safari) and Facebook app settings (in Facebook app preferences/cookies I think)
You can only warn your user to logout outside of your app...
...Or you can just not use facebook api SSO, but in app login webform, like I do for other reasons.
If you choose that option this pull request might save you some time ;)
Hii ,
its not possible , the reason is for Single Sign On (SSO) is not to make user login everytime, he logouts , instead if the user logs in anyone of FB enabled apps - it will use that to login again - This is because the device is mostly used by single person in this case only one user can login in Facebook.
you can't control any app outside of your app - for Example - if u login with Gmail & when you open google.com you can see your username there is currently logged In which has SSO,
In new SDK of Facebook, you can set login button loginBehaviour property
Below code in swift ...
let fbButton = FBSDKLoginButton()
fbButton.loginBehavior = .Web
Answer already done, but I just want to clarify it. May be it saved somebody's time.
Go to Facebook.m and change line
[self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:YES];
to
[self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:NO];
It will cause login window appear inside the app. Logout will work perfect. In other words, it will work as it used to in older versions of OS.
in addition to kishnan94 answer. the objective c version is ;
if you want a modal to open up and ask for facebook credentials seperately from Safari or Facebook app, just use the latest facebook sdk and set the login behaviour
FBSDKLoginManager *login = [[FBSDKLoginManager alloc] init];
[login setLoginBehavior:FBSDKLoginBehaviorWeb];
this will make the logout process more convenient and less confusing for users without using safari or facebook app accounts.
It seems that this is a bug of Facebook SDK. In a case of the Facebook app is installed on device, access_token is renewed. In other hand, access_token and expirationDate could not be changed. :((
I have integrated the facebook in to my application, From the FB i will be getting the userid and the name of the user and passing it to my own service that will do the validation and allows the respective user to get in to the system. I have got the userid and username from the FB and passed it my service that will do the validation,it allows the user to enter in to app, but my problem is once i logged in , how can i log out from the FB ?
Please let me know your ideas.
Thanks
If you are using the new facebook sdk, then us
[facebook logout:delegate]
Being facebook your Facebook object,and delegate an FBSessionDelegate.
If all goes well your delegate will be called on -(void)fbDidLogout;
That depends on which library you use to connect to facebook.
But I guess that you have a FBSession class that has a logout method...
That logout method also calls deleteFacebookCookies that you could also directly call depending on your needs...
Hope that helps.
If you are using old facebook sdk,then use this code for logout.make FBSession class object and code like this. [FBSessionclassobject logout];
it will delete all FacebookCookies.
I want to authorize a user for my iphone app using Twitter. I would like to use sharekit to do this for simplicity but I am missing something fundamental. My understanding is that the way you do this is as follows:
service=[[SHKTwitter alloc] init];
[service authorize];
What is not clear to me is how I get notified once the authorization process is complete. When I execute this code, a modal view controller pops up and the user grants access via twitter. Authorization is successfully made and the modal view controller is dismissed. What I don't see is any way for me to be notified once all this is complete? What am I missing?
You could check two methods in SHKOAuthSharer (if you use OAuth to authorize):
1. - tokenAuthorizeView: didFinishWithSuccess:
2. - tokenAuthorizeCancelledView:
They where called when authorizing view is closing. So you could put your own delegate callbacks here.
Or check this https://github.com/ideashower/ShareKit/issues/187
