v=1.0 causing Invalid Paramater exception?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a FacebookXmlRestClient client
2. Get a token with client.auth_createToken()
3. Try to call client.auth_getSession(token).

My source:

        FacebookXmlRestClient client = new FacebookXmlRestClient("hidden", "hidden");
        logger.info("Made client " + client);
        try {
            String token = client.auth_createToken();
            logger.info("token: " + token);
            String session = client.auth_getSession(token);
            logger.info("session: " + session);
            client.friends_get();
        } catch (FacebookException e) {
            logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "FacebookException - " + e.getMessage(), e);
            return;
        }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see an exception thrown in the call to auth_getSession():

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

facebook-java-api-2.1.0.jar on Linux (Centos 5.3, very up to date)

Please provide any additional information below.

I've created a new Facebook app id and am trying to use these libs for the
first time.  A thread here seems to point to the 'v=' param being passed by
your library being incorrect, it should be 'version=':

http://markmail.org/message/dkscta3pspjgczmc#query:auth_getSession%20%22Invalid%
20parameter%22+page:1+mid:xseh3aufd3lsxchj+state:results

Wireshark shows me the string sent by your library includes "&v=1.0" and
the source download seems to have a 'v' being set in ExtensibleClient.

I don't have Maven set up so building your source is quite a pain for me
right now.

Am I doing something silly or is this really a simple facebook api change
bug?  Thanks :)

Most probably your Web / Desktop setting. I've added an entry for this to:

• Changed state: Invalid

Thanks David, you were right, my App was on the default 'Web' application type. 
That's a very useful FAQ entry for beginners.

I've changed my app to Desktop.  However, an hour after making the change on the
facebook site, I'm still getting 'Invalid parameter' thrown.  I'll try again 
later.

I had got Maven and rebuilt the library with 'version' instead of 'v', but that
didn't help, so I've gone back to the 2.1.0 release of facebook-java-api.

to no 
avail. Even the unit test Issue161FriendsGetSessionless throws this exception:

    at com.google.code.facebookapi.FacebookJsonRestClient.auth_getSession
(FacebookJsonRestClient.java:275)

I am using API version 2.1.1. 

Please let us know whats the solution if any.

Thank you very much.
