Facebook iOS SDK Not Calling Completion Handler - ios

Question

Problem:
Using the FB SDK and the method openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions, the completion handler doesn't appear to get called when the app is reopened from Facebook web or Facebook app and I get this error output:
FBSDKLog: FBSession INVALID transition from FBSessionStateCreated to FBSessionStateClosed
FBSDKLog: FBSession transition from FBSessionStateCreated to FBSessionStateCreatedOpening
Context
Using Facebook SDK 3.2.1
App is built for iOS 5.0+
Using xCode 4.6.1
Testing on Simulator iOS 5.1
Testing on iPhone 4S, running iOS 6.1.2 (not using 6.0 social framework as want to test implementation for 5.0+)
Updating an app that was originally built for iOS 3.0 and using an old version of sharekit, but has now been updated for ARC and the share kit implementation I believe has all been commented out - hoping the issue is not a conflict with a old share kit function, can't fin any within the code
Steps taken to resolve
Searched throughout Stack Overflow, found similar issues mentioned but not a solution
ios6 facebook integration login always FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed never opens (i already have bool:application implemented)
Facebook iOS SDK 3.0 - session not open
Facebook SDK 3.1 - Error validating access token
Have the correct app bundle in the FB settings panel
Have the correct Facebook app ID is the plist
Have FB logging turned on FBSettings setLoggingBehavior
Specifics:
These are the steps I took to implement Facebook connectivity within the app.
The first step I took was walking through the Facebook tutorial at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/. I got the first part, the authentication part working as expected (I built a separate app as instructed by the tutorial.)
I then took the same steps within the tutorial in the app I'm updating, this did not work
I then followed the instructions on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login-with-facebook-using-ios-sdk/ (which are very similar to the tutorial)
Again I ran into issues
Then spent a lot of time searching for solution, could not find one
Highlevel steps in code:
I have my FB methods set up in AppDelegate
In a specific view controller I have a button that calls the openSessionWithAllowLoginUI method to start the login process
Code
AppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
// set up facebook logging
[FBSettings setLoggingBehavior:[NSSet setWithObjects:FBLoggingBehaviorFBRequests, FBLoggingBehaviorFBURLConnections, FBLoggingBehaviorAccessTokens, FBLoggingBehaviorSessionStateTransitions, nil]];
// Call the ACAccountStore method renewCredentialsForAccount, which will update the OS's understanding of the token state
ACAccountStore *accountStore;
ACAccountType *accountTypeFB;
if ((accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc] init]) &&
(accountTypeFB = [accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook] ) ){
NSArray *fbAccounts = [accountStore accountsWithAccountType:accountTypeFB];
id account;
if (fbAccounts && [fbAccounts count] > 0 &&
(account = [fbAccounts objectAtIndex:0])){
[accountStore renewCredentialsForAccount:account completion:^(ACAccountCredentialRenewResult renewResult, NSError *error) {
//we don't actually need to inspect renewResult or error.
if (error){
}
}];
}
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
// We need to properly handle activation of the application with regards to Facebook Login
// (e.g., returning from iOS 6.0 Login Dialog or from fast app switching).
NSLog(#"Calling app did become active");
[FBSession.activeSession handleDidBecomeActive];
}
/*
* Callback for session changes.
*/
- (void)sessionStateChanged:(FBSession *)session
state:(FBSessionState) state
error:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"Session State Changed");
switch (state) {
case FBSessionStateOpen:
if (!error) {
// We have a valid session
NSLog(#"User session found");
}
break;
case FBSessionStateClosed:
case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
break;
default:
break;
}
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
postNotificationName:FBSessionStateChangedNotification
object:session];
if (error) {
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error"
message:error.localizedDescription
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertView show];
}
}
/*
* Opens a Facebook session and optionally shows the login UX.
*/
- (BOOL)openSessionWithAllowLoginUI:(BOOL)allowLoginUI {
NSLog(#"Openning session with Facebook");
return [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:nil
allowLoginUI:allowLoginUI
completionHandler:^(FBSession *session,
FBSessionState state,
NSError *error) {
[self sessionStateChanged:session
state:state
error:error];
}];
}
/*
* If we have a valid session at the time of openURL call, we handle
* Facebook transitions by passing the url argument to handleOpenURL
*/
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation {
// attempt to extract a token from the url
NSLog(#"Calling open URL");
return [FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url];
}
- (void) closeSession {
NSLog(#"Clossing Facebook Sessions");
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url
{
NSLog(#"handleOpenUrl Called");
return [FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url];
}
View Controller with button
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
// Register for Facebook change notification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
addObserver:self
selector:#selector(sessionStateChanged:)
name:FBSessionStateChangedNotification
object:nil];
}
- (IBAction)login:(id)sender {
ATIAppDelegate *myAppDelegate = (ATIAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
[myAppDelegate openSessionWithAllowLoginUI:YES];
}
What I think the issue could be?
It seems like it may be something with the tokens?
Or maybe the notification center?
Note that during testing I've been going and revoking access of the Facebook app to my account and then trying to login again to the app, I see these has caused issues with other users

Answer 1

Okay I figured it out - the issue was nothing to do with FB itself, the app (I'm working on updating someone else's code) had a setting in the .plist - 'Application does not run in background' set to true.
Meaning that once the app was relaunched from the Facebook app or Facebook mobile site it wasn't prepared to handle the next step.

Answer 2

If you don't want the app to run in the background, you can bind to the FBSDKApplicationDelegate in your AppDelegate like so:
import UIKit
import FBSDKLoginKit
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
return FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
FBSDKAppEvents.activateApp()
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any) -> Bool {
return FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, open: url, sourceApplication: sourceApplication, annotation: annotation)
}
}
