Could you try removing the account from the app completely and adding it from scratch? Is there anything suspicious in logs?

[cj5neal]

I tried removing the account. Same problem. I deleted the app. Same problem....i am a beta tester if it makes a difference.

Have you got the new/beta Facebook design turned on by chance? I've reverted to the "old" layout and the sync started to work once again.

[cj5neal]

I do not see any option for layout in the app and do not see any difference in my layout

It's a Facebook option, global for an account, available since they've started rolling out the new design. "Switch to New Facebook"/"Switch to Classic Facebook" in the main account menu on FB website.

[cj5neal]

Ahha....i will check it out and see if that is the issue

FYI: I'm not entirely sure that's the main cause of the problems, as now I've switched back to "New" and sync still seems to be working (at least according to the logs), but maybe it's something on the first run that prevented the inital sync.

[cj5neal]

The sync completed now but I do not see the birthdays in calendar....ugh

Birthdays do not work as of now, Facebook no longer publishes them. I am not sure I'll be able to find another way around to get birthdays. Weird that events do not show up as well, anything in the logs?

Regarding the classic vs. new, the classic theme is indeed required for the first sync after login, as only there we can find the link to the iCal event file that's used as a source for the events. Afterwards it doesn't matter anymore which Facebook theme you use.

Still doesn't work for me. stuck on "Retrieving calendars". I tried a few times from scratch

[airon90]

I just installed this app and this doesn't work for me too, so it is not a problem about login/account

[simbalasim]

After I changed my FB password I have the same problem. I deactivated 2fa for testing, no luck. And it's not possible anymore to switch to the classic fb theme. So this workaround can't be used.

[danvratil]

Facebook has completely removed support for the "Old UI" some time ago and so was gone the way to retrieve the calendars. It's back now (maybe has been back for a while, I mostly gave up on the app after the UI update). I should be able to solve that in next update - details in #85
