Facebook Auth With Firebase

[jakubmichalski]

Can we access your project?

• [X] I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

I attempt to integrate Facebook login following official instruction. I've already working Apple and Google login.

Reproducible on real devices and simulators (iOS and Android). Reproducible on deployed version (via TestFlight) and local run.

Current behaviour:

1. User clicks on "Facebook login" button which executes "Log In" action in FlutterFlow with auth provider Facebook.
2. User provides Facebook credentials clicks continue on popup window.
3. FlutterFlow shows auth error.

Expected Behavior

At step 3 user to be authenticated in Firebase.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create new app in Facebook (it forces API v21)
2. Enable Facebook login as per official instruction.

Reproducible from Blank

Visual documentation

I have investigated the issue in AndroidStudio and I noticed the Facebook AccessTokenType.limited is being used.

If I add in AndroidManifest.xml <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken" android:value="@string/facebook_client_token" /> and corresponding client-token in strings.xml, then during Facebook authentication AccessTokenType.classic token is being used.

With AccessTokenType.classic user gets authenticated successfully in Firebase and I see user is created with Facebook. Then in the FlutterFlow app, I got authenticated user with Firebase sign-in.

Hello!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I’ll double-check the details you mentioned. In the meantime, could you let us know if this issue is still occurring on your end?

Thanks again for your patience!

[jakubmichalski]

Hi @Alezanello thank you for checking, I can confirm the problem still occurs. In addition, I was able to check on web (deployed to production, hosted by flutterflow) and the result is nothing happens after press of Facebook button (same code as in case of iOS where I get the Facebook login window). I think the same case was described in #2709. Also I made sure the email from facebook is not associated with any existing firebase account (i.e. I have removed it).

I have also tried to re-create Meta/Facebook App - there is no improvement.

Hi, I think I'm having similar issue on deployed web app. I commented about my issue on this comment: https://github.com/FlutterFlow/flutterflow-issues/issues/602#issuecomment-2454264654

Has FlutterFlow resolved the issue so that the Flutterflow/Facebook/Firebase integration works yet?

The issue is still open

I confirm - I have the same error. Pressing the Facebook login button has no response at all. Tested on a physical device using an application added in Google Play (internal tests). The worst thing is that it was working and suddenly it stopped working, and Facebook login is one of the key features of my app. @Alezanello

Hello!

I will escalate this issue to the engineering team for a more in-depth review to understand why the behavior has suddenly changed. While I couldn’t replicate it on my end, I see that others are experiencing the same issue, so I'll proceed with forwarding this ticket for further investigation.

@Alezanello When can we expect some update on this?
