Changes made to the Facebook Login SDK for iOS

[ciccilleju]

With version 6.0.0 I can't login to facebook iOS anymore and i read about this:
https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2024/03/28/changes-made-to-fb-login-sdk/

does anybody know what should I do to make it work again?

thanks

if i rollback to version 5.0.3 everything works fine

[ciccilleju]

@rdlabo Android works fine as you can see from this screenshot

but iOS asks me about a "limite" api which i never heard about.

Rolling back to 5.0.3 fixes the iOS issue.
I don't know if you were aware of it

Hihi, had the same issue but once I accepted Apple's ATT permission it defaulted back to the normal login flow instead of limited. Maybe you can try https://github.com/mahnuh/capacitor-plugin-app-tracking-transparency to enable the prompt which worked for me.

I have the same problem. How did you solve it? @ciccilleju

let me try it and I'll get back to you

edit: It works, thank you !!!

What happens if the user does not accept tracking?

[ciccilleju]

you must use the facebook limited login, which works differently

[dragermrb]

Can this plugin do limited login?

I never got an answer when I asked #93

[ciccilleju]

no but this may help you
#150

[dragermrb]

Thank you!

I'm the author of the original PR (#94) and I've had a fork for a while (https://github.com/dragermrb/capacitor-plugin-facebook-login), but I wanted to see if I could get back to the community plugin.

@dragermrb you can reach out to @mhartington if you want to maintain this community plugin.

@dragermrb thank you for the fork! Have you tried or been able to combine your fork and limited login with Firebase auth? The limited login seems to return a JWT token, which I don't think one can pass for Firebase's signInWithCredential method...

[dragermrb]

Hello, I currently do not use firebase, I validate the token in my own backend and authenticate the user if correct

@rdlabo any chance we can get any of the proposed solutions for limited login applied to this repo?

[forgr-owner]

You can now use https://github.com/Cap-go/capacitor-social-login who implement Facebook with the latest SDK and limited login, and it's maintain by a company who maintain more than 30 plugins.

I’ve installed the latest version (6.1.0). Is it normal to receive a different type of token depending on the operating system?

I thought this behavior was resolved when using the "limited" option.

Regardless, I tried both tracking: 'enabled' and tracking: 'limited', but the accessToken doesn’t change (tracking is enabled). On iOS, I receive a JWT token, while on Android, I get an OAuth2 token.

Thank you!

Hi @ciccilleju

Here is a summary

• iOS
  • Tracking enabled: AccessToken
  • Tracking limited: AuthenticationToken (JWT)
• Android
  • Tracking enabled: AccessToken
  • Tracking limited: Not supported

[ciccilleju]

@dragermrb i've added the tracking but i still getting JWT

what am i doing wrong here?

`
async fbLogin() {
const FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS = ['public_profile', 'email'];

const fbLoginProcessIOS = async () => {
  const response = await this.trackingService.getStatus();
  if (response.status === 'authorized') {
    await this.fbLoginIOS(FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS);
  } else {
    const requestResponse = await this.trackingService.requestPermission();
    if (requestResponse.status === 'authorized') {
      await this.fbLoginIOS(FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS);
    } else {
      alert('Devi consentire i tracciamenti per poter utilizzare questa funzione');
    }
  }
};

if (this.spiaggiaService.isPlatformAndroid) {
  await this.fbLoginAndroid(FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS);
} else if (this.spiaggiaService.isPlatformIos) {
  await fbLoginProcessIOS();
}

}

async fbLoginIOS(FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS: string[]) {
const result = await ((
FacebookLogin.login({ permissions: FACEBOOK_PERMISSIONS, tracking: 'enabled' })
));

console.log({ result });

}`

Hi @ciccilleju

Sorry for the mistake, but some changes have been implemented with respect to the PR I made some time ago and my previous answer is not correct.

Maybe someone has the same problem and can help you...
