Does anyone know if current facebook ios app support the applinks back navigation (http://applinks.org/documentation/#uxguidelinesrecommendations)? i.e. when my app open a page on native facebook app, is there a way to go back to my app from facebook?

Is it possible to open the app invite dialog in the native facebook app or webview, similar to ShareDialog.setMode("webview")?
Currently the invite dialog launches the Safari browser, and has lead to issues such as having to log in again or not going back to the app but staying on Facebook after sending invites.
Thanks!
I have an app page in facebook. I have used Call to action feature to create Use app button in my app page.
I have an app in iOS. What I wanted to achieve is that when ever a user clicks on the Use app button from his iOS device (Safari or Facebook app) He/She should be navigated to the AppStore or App(if app is already installed).
What I get now is, whenever I click on the Use app button from iOS I get navigated to my website.
Anyone got ideas to fix it?
In the new facebook app policy i found this paragraph
If people come to your app from the Facebook app on iOS, give them an option to go back to the Facebook app by using the Back to Facebook banner provided in our SDK.
Source:https://developers.facebook.com/policy
I could not find any "Back to Facebook banner" in the current SDK? How do i detect if the App is opened by the facebook app?
Thanks!
I could not find any references to this banner in the SDK, but Facebook has confirmed to me that making sure the iOS system "Back to Facebook" button is displayed after your App was opened from the Facebook iOS App is enough to be compliant with this policy.
This should be handled automatically by the system, unless you are hiding the status bar in your App, in which case the system will not show this button.
Deep linking is turned off for our app
But when ios users click a link we posted on our facebook page to our page app (https://apps.facebook.com/nakedwines/), they are redirected to the ios app instead of our competition page.
If an ios user enters the link manually into their browser, this works.
Is this a bug or is there something not set up right?
Your issue is that when mobile users try to access your app they're brought to the app store (when the app isn't installed) ? That's expected, if the app was installed it would be opened directly.
If you don't have an IOS app, remove the IOS details from the app settings and they'll be brought to your mobile web URL instead.
The Deep linking setting allows users who click posts from your app to be brought into the app with sufficient context to allow your app to display a specific piece of content.
i.e links to your app's content are passed through to the native app with the full URL, and your app can open that content directly.
For example, clicking a link to a spotify song on iOS opens the spotify app and plays that song, without deep linking it just opens spotify with no context.
I ended up creating a completely new facebook app for the competition page. This got round all of the issues. Facebook doesn't seem to play well if you have both a page app and ios/android apps under the same application.
I'm trying to integrate facebook in my iOS 5 application.
As mentioned in facebook documentation, i'm doing everything as they mentioned.
Usually when facebook is initiated to authorize, it will take the user to browser opening facebook website and asks to authenticate. but in my case, it opens browser and immediately it goes back to the app. I didn't understand what's happening.
Here's the video of the issue that I'm facing
I noticed that if the facebook app is installed on iphone, above mentioned problem is noticed
Is your app ID on your project .plist?
Look at "Modify the app property list file" on the Facebook iOS tutorial
