Maintain FB Session on App Close #977

Open lyonsrob opened 9 years ago

lyonsrob commented 9 years ago

Here's what I'm trying to do, let me know if I'm off base somewhere.

1.) User authenticates with FB plugin and provides app permission 2.) I save the userId in local storage to verify the user has authed on return. 3.) User clicks to "share on facebook" and is prompted for advanced permissions (publish_actions) and I saved the accessToken in localStorage for later use 4.) The post succeeds 5.) User closes app (double tap home button, swipe app to close) 6.) User reopens app, is recognized by userId in local storage 7.) User trys to share again and plugin fails with:

com.facebook.sdk:InvalidOperationException Trace: -[FBSession reauthorizeWithPermissions:isRead:behavior:defaultAudience:completionH andler:

8.) If I put in a call to FB.login() on app start it works, but user is always redirected to the Facebook app first.

How do I open a new user session without displaying the LoginUI?

Anyone have thoughts on this??

butlimous commented 9 years ago

There should be no need to use local storage at all. Session is automatically saved in webview after the first time the user accepts the login. So after logging in for the first time, when you totally close the app and reopen, calling FB.getLoginStatus() should always return connected and calling any of the methods should work.

That's what I would think as well. I seem to be getting intermittent results and can only hold a session for one close/restart cycle.

I'm on ios8 and using Appgyver's Facebook plugin that wraps getLoginStatus in a promise. I'm still investigating whether this is the culprit, though I have not been able to use the FacebookConnectPlugin code by itself either.

lyonsrob commented 9 years ago

Just confirmed, using Wizcorp plugin and the functions found in the example, I am only able to retain session information after one close/reopen cycle.

When you say "Saved in the WebView", what happens on the native side? Isn't the WebView reinitiated both in Cordova and AppGyver? What is the safe place where the information is stored/retrieved from?

butlimous commented 9 years ago

Sorry maybe my wording is not correct. It's saved but where, not sure. The state will be maintained till you uninstall and reinstall the app again. Also make sure you have "Single Sign-on" in facebook app settings turned on and I think the app also has to be live (not in Sandbox) but I'm not exactly sure about this point. Third for Android, make sure "Key Hash" is entered and is actually correct.

Thanks Guys.

I don't believe it's a Facebook setup issue as I can successfully interact with the FB API. Also, the Wizcorp HelloCordova app works as intended.

@harsaharsa

I only say webview because that's the only difference I can see between Wizcord Cordova app and our steroids app.

I have the same issue on iOS.

I use getLoginStatus to see if user is connected or if to show the "login" button. After closing the app (home-double-click & swipe), getLoginStatus returns a disconnected state.

I am using a development profile and development FB app.

Important to note that on Android this works fine (I can even turn off/on device and getLoginStatus still returns connected).

lyonsrob commented 9 years ago

Hi Yaron -

What version are you building on? The team fixed this in the latest stable build.

Actually you are right. My bad. getLoginStatus was returning the proper session, and I had a bug. Sorry for firing before looking further :)

yarontt commented 9 years ago

Update, it seems that the problem is that cookies are deleted after app stops. So this isn't related to this problem, but still an interesting issue.

harsaharsa commented 9 years ago

@yarontt are you having the cookie deletion issue with AppGyver? Could you create a repro at https://github.com/AppGyver/steroids/issues/951 ?

yarontt commented 9 years ago

Not using AppGyver. I'm using PhonegapBuild.
