I was implementing optimized integration for Facebook Messenger Platform for my iOS app using the SDK and am facing a few issues. When I share content from my app to Facebook Messenger, I always see the "Install" link alongside my app link, even though the app is installed. Also, I never see the "Reply" button on the content shared from my app, just Install.
Both the sender and receiver have Admin access to the corresponding Facebook app. (The FB integration features are currently in dev, even though the app is live).
Followed all the sequence of steps mentioned in the documentation - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger/ios
FBSDKMessengerURLHandler callbacks are implemented for FBSDKMessengerURLHandlerReplyContext and FBSDKMessengerURLHandlerOpenFromComposerContext as well.
Not sure how to proceed to test the features. Anybody else faced the same problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
I had the same issue. Find any valid iOS App Store ID and fill it in on the developers.facebook.com page (near where you enter the Bundle ID info).
Relaunching Messenger made the Reply button start to show up on new messages.
The developer community at Facebook is pretty awful.

Have a Cordova iOS app with Facebook authentication using Facebook Cordova Plugin.https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin
Was working fine but has suddenly authentication is failing, having not changed anything in the app that I can see. And I get a warning which I can't find on Google:
"To use this URL you must add a valid native platform in your App's settings."
The only thing I did yesterday really was add the app to iTunes Connect to use in Testflight. I have it registered as a web app still in Facebook. Could it somehow be related to that? That seems bizarre.
Well the answer was in the question. I added a native iOS app in Facebook. And it now works. Not sure why it was working and suddenly stopped, but hey that's Facebook.
I'll leave this answer here as there were zero hits on Google for that FB warning.
I am developing an ios app and trying to allow the user to connect to their LinkedIn account.
I am using the steps found in
https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/ios-sdk-auth
where I
Registered my app with LinkedIn to get the application id.
Updated my info.plist with the *li{application id}* entries for URL Schemes
Called LISDKSessionManager.createSessionWithAuth() to start the login process.
However, this only opens up the LinkedIn app on my iPad, but does not show me which permission I had requested nor redirect me back to my app. I am at a loss to if this is the intended behaviour or am I missing a step.
Note that the sampleapp provided by linkedin also does not show me the page with a list of permissions requested or redirect me back to my own app.
It appears that the LinkedIn app has an iPad-specific bug that prevents it from returning to other apps after createSessionWithAuth: is called, even when all credentials are correct.
(I had to wait for the delivery of a physical iPhone to test my hypothesis, as there is no way to log in like this on a simulator).
Update
My answer was with regard to the 1.0.2 sdk, which also had problems with all iOS 9 devices. The iOS 9 problems were fixed with the 1.0.4 sdk, but the iPad problems remain.
Found the solution. For me, it was about setting our bundles right:
On https://www.linkedin.com/developer/apps/xxxxxx/mobile, make sure that your 'iOS Bundle Identifiers' is the same on your app. Plus, click on Update! I just added and 'forgot' to save them.
I create Facebook application on developers.facebook.com.
Configure and integrate Facebook SDK in my iOS application according to facebook guide.
And now after install application to new device, and login with Facebook. I see tracked events in Analytics -> Events -> Most Recent (filter by event type "App installs").
But in dashboard page a see old date in "Last Mobile App Installs":
If clicked on "Last Mobile App Installs", i see graph with tracked installs:
Several times I validate the configuration of iOS project. I also have another project in which everything works fine. And the project settings are identical.
I checked request after iOS app installed to device: https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/FACEBOOK_APP_ID/activities?&event=MOBILE_APP_INSTALL (i cut some informations from request).
Response "success": true
What can I try to do?
Edited (29.06.2015)
I check App Ads Helper (thank you Sleepy Panda). And what i see:
I fixed my problem.
For others, who like me will not understand what was happening. Facebook tracked organic install. In my case i took a new device (which was not used with my application earlier). Install and launched app.
Thats all! After few minutes Facebook dashboard has been updated.
I have an application on IOS, which posts photos and location on facebook.
I want my app to open once user tap on link(When viewing facebook from facebook app). Is this possible?
It's not possible using the built in iOS sharing but Facebook will open your app if you are using their SDK and posting with a Facebook app. (as in an app setup in their developer portal) You need to have deep linking turned on and your app profile setup to point back to your app store id. They also have a new app links thing they announced which is worth checking out. In any case your app will have to support custom URL schemes.
Sorry I can not get clearly but if I am not wrong then do you want to open your iOS app when user click on link on FB ?
If I am right then simple and sort answer, it is not possible because apple iOS dose not provide any such types of feature/API so it is better to stop fighting.
I'm currently developing an iOS app that uses the Facebook sdk for login (through FBLoginView).
Everything works well except for those who have an older version of facebook.
When they press the "login with facebook" button they reach facebook's login page as intended, but once they log in they get an error message stating that the app is not well configured, here's a screenshot of the error:
subtitle: "Application not configured: the developers of this app haven't properly configured it to connect to Facebook"
As I said things fail for those who have an older version of facebook only, I can currently see 3 versions around me, the one with the dark sidebar on the left, one with 2 sidebars on both sides, and the old one with a light sidebar on the left.
Is there something special to do to have it working on all version ?
In case it happens to somebody else : I had the same error and it came from the fact that I tried to login with another login that the one I used to create the app on the facebook dashboard.
Because when your app on the facebook dashboard is in development mode, it is only visible to the account who created it...
Check whether your app is not in Sandbox mode and if it is then set testers through the developers' settings, also check and try to create a new hashkey and to input it in the developers' settings.
