I am using the new Facebook IOS SDK 3.0 and have integrated the Scrumptious sample into my app. I have specified the namespace and action for my app correctly. When I click "announce", I get "posted open graph action, id: xxxxx" so it looks like my post is successful. I am assuming the post will go to my personal Facebook news stream since that I who I am logged in as, however I don't see anything. Is there anything that needs to be done with my app to make it active? Or other settings that I might be overlooking? Thanks.
It turns out I didn't enable timeline on my facebook account so I didn't see the posts. Once I enabled it, I was able to see them. I could also see them in my activity log. I have another issue with tags now, but at least I am able to post now. Thanks.

I went though the developer documentation on xero https://developer.xero.com/documentation/auth-and-limits/public-applications which I was stuck with then I found a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzZpgSHdKfU which is quite nice but then I got stuck when it's showing how to use the https://api.xero.com/oauth/Authorize.
I am using postman as testing as I am totally new with xero.
It I did the requestToken api which worked fine and got the oauth_token but the video showed going to browser and go https://api.xero.com/oauth/Authorize would actually show the page of application not found and url would be redirect as something like https://app.xero.com/oauth/APIAuthorise?oauth_token= but instead I got redirect to a login page with url of https://login.xero.com/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=https%3a%2f%2fapp.xero.com&wctx=rm%3d0%26id%3dpassive%26ru%3d%252foauth%252fAPIAuthorise%253foauth_token%253d&wct=2019-06-06T22%3a48%3a18Z&oauth_token= I tried adding the oauth_token at the end of the url which does not work at all.
Still asking me to login
Anyone has had this kind of situation happening?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
To authorise/connect an app to Xero, the user needs to log in to Xero and choose one of their Xero organisations to connect. To authorise your app, if you are the test user, you will need a Xero account (start a 30-day trial and use the demo company). https://www.xero.com/signup/
I have an iOS app which posts to Facebook on behalf of the user logged in through the iOS Facebook setting.
Two problems -
the posts are marked private, the users friends don't see them.
The iOS app want to be able to harvest Like and Comment info but I get back a 400 from FB.
Here's the wrinkle, my Facebook account works perfectly (posts are visible to friends and I can get the Like and Comment info), but a test user account will post only as private and the iOS app gets a 400 when trying to get post info.
The attached screen shots show the different permissions (top for tester, bottom for me) but I can figure out what to ask Facebook for at login to get the same permissions for both users. Currently I'm asking for publish_actions and user_status.
Any help would be much appreciated!
You need to make sure you are asking for public_profile also you need to make sure you split your permission access into two pieces, as per FB, 1) read 2) write
Just follow the login process on the Facebook Dev page, this will allow you to outline your permissions the right way. Also make sure your test user is added into the groups on your Facebook Dev portal.
Also can you provide any code of what you have tried?
Turns out the post_id element was not what I wanted but rather the id. After that I could use json to get the comments and likes. So the call was almost correct.
And adding stream_read to the permissions got the post to be visible to friends...
Thanks for all the help!
I have an unusual problem with my website, which has been built using Ruby on Rails technology. Whenever I click "Like" button under any post on my webpage, the post is supposed to be shared on my facebook profile like posts from 9gag. The problem is that by default, this post's visibility on my facebook profile is set that only I can see it and I want the post to be (by default) visible for all my friends. How can I do that? I couldn't find anything helpful on google about this case.
Thanks for help in advance!
I had the same problem with my website. For some reason, the Facebook App that you create to add widgets to your website sets its privacy default in your profile to "only me".
This only happens for the user that creates the App (maybe to avoid making your first tests and debug public) : in fact, I noticed that other users can share articles publicly without changing any settings.
To change it, just go to privacy settings in your Facebook profile: there you will see your website preference under Applications. Change it from "Only me" to "friends" or "public"
So this is a canvas app, intended to run in the FB chrome.
I'm using the FB php SDK.
I'm creating my login url by:
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array('scope'=>'email,publish_actions', 'redirect_uri'=>$fbCanvas));
then using this script to redirect:
print "<script> top.location.href='" . $loginUrl . "'</script>";
Instead of seeing a "regular" fb app auth dialog, such as:
What I want to see
I get a dialog like this one:
What I see instead
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
If the new user clicks on the Okay button, they are logged into the app, redirected correctly and everything works ok, I just want it to look like / work like every other app.
Thanks!
Facebook is re-styling the Login dialog (again), see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/concepts/login/permissions-login-dialog/#login-dialog
As usual with Facebook, this rollout does not affect all users or all apps at the same time, but is gradually rolled out. So for a while users might see both versions of the login dialog, but eventually all apps will use the new one.
You are doing nothing wrong.
I suspect Facebook has changed the way it displays the Authorization/Permission window depending on the data available for the Application. If your application lacks 'App Detail', 'Image' , 'Privacy Policy Link' etc. then you get the authorization window as What major apps show else you would get the window you are getting right now.
Earlier there was no distinction as such but since this month it might have changed as I earlier used to get the full fledged Authorization window but not now.
I am adding facebook comments to my iPad application using UIWebView and HTML5 code provided by Facebook.
When the user is not logged in, the application shows the comments and button "Login to Facebook to Post a Comment".
Clicking the button takes me through login process. After the login completes the view is redirected with an empty page with "Login complete" message. It is not redirected back to the comments dialog.
Right now I implemented an ugly workaround. Upon receiving webViewDidFinishLoad event, I look at contents of the page and reload it if the page shows this message. Though, it does not seem a clean way to go.
Why doesn't Facebook redirect me back to original comments page?
I suspect the problem you're having is related to this issue: Facebook authentication in a UIWebView does not redirect back to original page on my site asking for auth
Specifically, the standard Facebook web login process launches a new browser window dialog, and dispatches a message back to the opener to indicate login success for the redirect to occur.
Quoting a passage in the linked SO, "UIWebView doesn't support multiple windows so it can't postMessage back to your original page since it's no longer loaded."
I'm also developing an iPad application, and my solution is similar to yours: i drive the user to "https://m.facebook.com", always, to force him to login first, then in "webViewDidFinishLoad" i inspect the returned url and if it matches:
"https://m.facebook.com/login/checkpoint/"
exactly, that is, the url returned upon a successful login, then i call my own method (with reload or anything i want). At this time, the user is authenticated and has a valid FB session, so, redirections are not necessary anymore.
It's definitely not pretty, and may break as soon as FB changes the way it processes the login dialog, but i too cannot find a way to resolve it any better. Even tried using "FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {});" without success, of course, because the code is never reached.
I think a bug is already submitted to FB, but i don't think it's getting the deserved attention...
I ran into same issue as this question, but after reading some Facebook official documentation, I'll be redesigning to use the Facebook native SDK.
All iOS and Android apps must (effective October 2, 2013) use our SDKs
for iOS and Android for requesting permissions.
Though, I also gather that the "or else" is just a "developer notification"?
Posting this in hopes it will save time for someone using the same approach :)
