Desktop AIR application not allowing users to login through facebook connect #253

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The AIR desktop application is part of a traveling installation on desktop 
computers. The application has been working for months, but recently has had 
the following problems.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Users are asked to login via facebook connect using the facebook 
actionscript api for desktops.
2. This security error is thrown:
Please log in to www.facebook.com from a computer
You are logging in from a location you've never used before. For your 
protection, please log in to www.facebook.com from a computer to review your 
recent activity.
3. This happens for about 1 of 5 users, and I am guessing it is because of 
their privacy settings. This obviously interrupts the flow of the kiosk 
application and users are not allowed to upload their photos.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The user being able to log in to facebook. The security error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest version of the desktop actionscript api on a Mac with snow leopard.

Please provide any additional information below.
I understand this is a privacy issue because it is not the user's computer, but 
is there any way to verify their account in the facebook connect window?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the installation is currently live and 
the errors keep on coming.
