I have a working web app which works well enough with Facebook Connect. But when I post the Web App to the Home Screen on iOS 4.3.4 & click on 'FB Login' in the app -> it triggers Safari to open up and I end up leaving the Home Screen view.
Is there anyway to login from the Home Screen app itself and not trigger Safari?
Thank you.
Tried target="_webapp", target="_blank", etc none of those worked for me.
This bit of javascript worked just fine for me:
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('<put your facebook login URL here>','_parent'); ...
It is doing this to verify the Facebook login session. Currently, you cannot avoid this since your web app must go to Facebook dialog anyway to have the user login if they haven't already.

I am using Facebook login for my iOS app .For the first time the user needs to login via Facebookand When a login is asked the app is redirecting to Safari browser or it will redirect to the Facebook app if the Facebook app is installed on your device.
But now we require the Facebook login to take place within our app.
Could this be possible.Please help to find this issue.
Thanks in advance..
please put this line :
loginButton.loginBehavior=FBSDKLoginBehaviorWeb;
use FBSDKLoginBehaviorSystemAccount as loginBehavior. App will use facebook account configured on iphone settings

This was a bug Google's side with the page that was redirecting the user back - it was fixed in a release this week, so you shouldn't see the issue any longer.
I have a RoR / JQuery Mobile app that uses Facebook OAuth for authentication. It all works fine when accessing it via any normal browser on desktop and mobile with one exception.
If a user clicks a link to the app within the Twitter iOS app the home page loads within an internal webview. If the user then clicks 'Sign In with Facebook' the authentication seems to be successful but when Facebook redirects the user back to the app the page never loads. It just displays a blank page and the network indicator at the top of the screen just keeps spinning. If I close the web view and click the link again the page loads fine because the user has already authenticated.
Has any one else had problems with Facebook Auth inside the twitter app on iOS? Any suggestions on how I can resolve this problem? Is it possible this is just a bug with the Twitter app on iOS?
Thanks
I believe I found the solution. The facebook authentication process used a lot of redirects which I thought could be causing the problem (5 in total). After reviewing the process I realised I could remove one of the redirects and take the user directly to the page I wanted once they were authenticated.
www.example.com (link from the tweet)
www.example.com/auth/facebook (use clicks 'Login with Facebook')
1 - Redirect to: graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize
2 - Redirect to: www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth
3 - Redirect to: www.example.com/auth/callback
4 - Redirect to: www.example.com/entry_path (This has now been removed)
5 - Redirect to: www.example.com/final_logged_in_path
The login process now works from within the Twitter iOS App.
I have a iPad home page app that I'm trying to integrate a facebook like button. Everything works fine if the user is already logged in, but if the user is not logged in the facebook login page takes over my app page and after login does not return to my app. Is there a way to make facebook login using an iframe?
My app is a web app not a native IOS app. It is setup with a manifest file and the user adds it to their home page. Because the app can have different URLs and all we want to do is provide like functionality, registering the app is not available to me.
What I want to know is there a way for facebook to open the login page in an iframe like the like dialog when the user clicks the like button? Right now I'm using the social plugin for the like button, but if the user isn't logged in to facebook the login page replaces my web app. Is there a way to make the login page use an iframe?
Wrapping it in a <div> worked for me
I have an HTML5 website which has AD authentication. Inside this website, I have a webpage which I would like to be a "web app" on an iPad.
I have the cache.appcache file all ready and working fine in an environment where there is no AD authentication.
When I go to the page on the iPad, authenticate and then add to Home Screen, everything seems fine.
When I click on the homescreen shortcut, the page asks for authentication again. I need this to be an offline app - how can I achieve this? I want the user to have to authenticate to get the web app "installed" on the homescreen but after that don't want them to have to authenticate again.
Any ideas welcome!
