I'm having an iOS app, need Facebook login to share something to wall. Everything is ok until I received new feedback from customer. Let me describe this case.
Apple have integrated Facebook into iOS system, user just needs to login via Setting, it is so easy for user. But my customer does not want to do that, they want user to login Facebook inside app and use it instead of Facebook of iOS system. Problem is here, there is a case: user has already logged in Facebook account A via iOS system, then user opens app and login Facebook inside app with other Facebook account B. After that, user shares a picture. Requiment is this picture should be shared on wall of Facebook account B (of app), but this picture appeared on wall of Facebook account A(of iOS system).
I just wonder do we have any solutions to resolve this case? Please give me any ideas you all have in mind after reading.
Thanks,
Ryan
I faced the same problem with Facebook SDK whenever a user login from any app using Facebook it change userid returned with the token which leads to share on the latest opened account.
if you open Facebook from a browser you will get this message from Facebook " we got confused please re-login "
so i took the same approach i saved user-id User(A) and whenever user share i check id coming with token if it changed i show " Facebook account changed please relogin " & i log all users out.

Hi: I have submitted my app to the App Store. I have Facebook login feature in my app. When I try to login to Facebook from devices I have I am able to do it seamlessly. However Apple has rejected my app saying " When we tap the Facebook icon to sign up we are taken to mobile Safari where we receive a message that states :
User is not allowed to see the application.: The user is not allowed to see this application per the developer set configuration.
Not sure how will I be able recreate this issue. I installed my app on 3 different devices and was able to login without any errors. I checked my app setting on Facebook Status and Review section of Facebook and I have enabled my general public. Not sure what else I am missing. I just feel very dejected. Can anyone please help me figure this out? I am using parse as my backend service and logging users using parse Facebook login.
Thank you very much!
Another reason this will happen is if you are logged in as a test user from a different app than the one you are trying to sign in to. Facebook test users are app-specific.
Sign out of Facebook and back in with a test user from the correct app.
Go to Safari > http://m.facebook.com > logout
In cases where app sign in with safariviewcontroller, sometimes it contains test user of different app
In my case, I was using wrong facebook application id in the code. So added the correct id & it worked for me.
This issue occurs because Apple testers used the same Facebook test account which was created to test any other app and they did not logged out from that account(forgotten to log out) and that facebook test account doesn't have the permission for the current app in review which is why this issue occurs,
You can follow the given link to replicate the issue by creating an an test account.

Steps to create Facebook test account
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-users#managetool
We had this problem, and it turned out that the problem app didn't have a namespace set up in the Settings > Basic tab. Creating one is the solution to this.
Recently I have faced this same issue. Presently Facebook doesn't allow you to login from any Facebook id as you app is in development mode. There are 3 possible solutions that work for me:
Use only that id for Facebook Log In Testing with which you are working in Facebook for developer.
In Facebook for Developer-> Login to your Account-> Open app->Roles-> Test Users-> Add->Submit-> Edit on newly created random tester account->"Change Name and Password for this Test User"-> Provide a Name and handy password for testing.->Submit.(Use the given random generated mail id and password for testing Facebook login through your app.
3)In Facebook for Developer-> Login to your Account-> Open app->Roles->Roles->Testers->Add Testers->Provide Facebook Id for the user you want to add as tester->Submit
To get Facebook Id for a valid user. Login to Facebook with the Id you want to make as facebook tester in your development process.Then goto profile and in URL of browser you see id=(some_random_number). Copy that Id and paste it into Add Tester section of Developer account. It will be in pending state until the valid user accept the inviation.
I had something similar when validating to apple too,
I still don't get it now but for some reason the facebook secret id had been erased from the parse configuration.
You must check that point too
I don't know if that was the reason or not but for me this happened only after I signed the application with a release key, so I made the app 'public'. Probably the test users doesn't work for public applications.
We had this problem, and the solution is to use the same FB test accounts that was created from the same FB App. So if the App get rejected from App, then you should send to Apple a FB test account with password.
my side
I was using wrong facebook application id in the code. So added the correct id & it worked for me.
My app supports Facebook login and will be released to Apple Appstore real soon. I was testing the Facebook login for a while and it seemed to work all the time until now. When I login, the access token return by Facebook does not have email as one of the permission and I do need email for registering with my app. On developer.facebook.com under settings for my app, I have the following setup
User & Friend Permissions: email user_about_me user_birthday
Extended Permissions: read_friendlists
I also got the accessToken from my device and used https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and pasted my access token in there but it doesn't have email as one of the scope (the only scope listed is user_friends).
The app on Facebook is set to live (non-sandbox) so everyone can access it. Also on iOS, I do not have my app listed under Settings->Privacy->Facebook even after I give my app access to Facebook by successfully signed into Facebook. When I press login with Facebook, it opens Facebook website and says the following "'My App' will receive the following info: your public profile and friend list." and it doesn't mention email in there.
I have removed Facebook app from iOS, logged out of Facebook account from iOS settings, restarted the device and also removed my app and installed again and nothing seems to be working for iOS. We do have an Android version of our app, and that is working (able to get email) without any problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Edited:
Also on Facebook it says that my app accessed email (for my profile) on Oct 25th. So it was able to access email on that day.
However you are requesting the login you have to manually request the e-mail on top of basic permissions. You do so by putting under the readPermissions an array that contains the string email, like so...
fbLoginView.readPermissions = #[#"email"]
Or in openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:allowLoginUI:completionHandler put the first argument as #[#"email"].
Weirdly, I've found that the app permissions do not often correlate the permissions that the app grabs.
I'm working on connecting an app to Facebook using the Facebook SDK for Unity. The process seems to be working fine except sometimes if a new user tries to use Facebook to login the FB.Login() doesn't ask them for permission to use their birthday and email.
Im using this call for the login:
FB.Login("email, user_birthday", AuthCallback);
and in the Facebook app dashboard, under permissions I added email and user birthday.
What seems to be happening is the first time the user goes to use the Facebook connect and hasn't ok'd the permissions on the login yet when they sign in a dialog pops up in the Facebook webview as them to authorize my app for "friends list and public profile" they hit ok and then my login process fails because I need access to the birthday and email. If they hit my login button again then the FB.Login() function runs again bringing up a second dialog asking for permission to use email and birthday, after they ok this my own login works fine. The other option is to hit the home button on the device reopen the app hit the Facebook connect button again and this time the authorization dialog has all four options "public profile, friends list, email, and birthday"
I followed the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/ for the connect process so I'm not sure where I went wrong.
Any insight into this would be helpful. Just unsure of where to continue looking I have exhausted most of my debugging avenues but I'm new to the Facebook scene, so it's possible i missed something.
Thanks for any help in advance.
EDIT** I'm using Facebook SDK version 4.2.1 and Unity 4.2.0f4
I have used latest FB SKD in my iOS app so users can use facebook account to login. Application open the FB app and comes back to my app perfectly fine. However, in some place in the app, i have to show/pull some people facebook page (safari based using WebView), but even user already used the Facebook account to login into my native ios app, but the page still ask user to login again and when they click login, it shows them the annoying FB username/pass page.
Is there anyway, that the FB safari based page can authenticate the user since it's already logged into my app using FB integration? do i have to include query or something. Please give me details how to solve this problem since i'm new in this..
thanks again for your help...

When the user switches to Facebook app to authenticate, it doesn't create a cookie for your UIWebView which is why it's asking to login again. Have the user authenticate inside the UIWebView without switching to the Facebook app.
What you're talking about also sounds like a similar thing that happens with Facebook dialogs not knowing about the current Facebook session.
If you authenticate your user via Facebook, try saying the Facebook object itself as an instance variable somewhere in memory so you can access it again (a property on a singleton controller, perhaps?).
Spawning dialogs from an authenticated Facebook object appears to let them use the dialog without reauthenticating iff you have a [FBSession activeSession]. So you'd also have to maintain an active FB session. But I'm not sure if this kind of solution will work since you didn't show specific code for how you're doing your web-based FB fetches.

Implement Login with Facebook in iOS 5 and 6
There must be an easy answer to this one....
I am trying to integrate my latest IOS App to Facebook. I have not used Facebook before, so just set up a "company" page with basic information on my firm.
I'm following all the Facebook links i.e. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/ios/build/
But I cannot get beyond Step 1 (LOL). Whenever I click the link "Step 1: Registering your iOS App with Facebook," it keeps taking me to my company's Facebook Admin screen!? I cannot find a way to register my App off this screen. Where is the "Add new app" link??
I'm going in circles. Help appreciated.
It's not possible to register an App under a Business account, and you have to create (or lend) a personal account. And keep in mind: Facebook frowns upon incorrect information, so should be a legit person or your account will be suspended when (not if) they find out.
Secondly you have to authorize your Facebook account. For example: by entering mobile phone no. and entering code from a text FB will send you (more info: http://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php) or entering CC information (more info: https://secure.facebook.com/cards.php)
When you (finally) have an authenticated account:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps Is the location you should be looking at.
Over at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/tutorial/ Step 1 describes the creation of a Facebook App. (rather simple, by clicking on "Create New App")
Hope this helps! Good luck!
I believe the problem is that you are attempting to create a Facebook App with your "page user". IE you clicked "Use Facebook as..." and clicked on one of your pages.
You can not create an application in this way. Applications must be created by "real" users. You're going to want to follow that tutorial you posted to and use your user.
If you are hesitant to use your own account, ask your boss to use his or request from your clients login credentials to open the application on their account.
The reason behind this is so that Facebook can track "bad" applications back to real people, people who had to verify their account by submitting a mobile phone or credit card number.
