Error message is (#12) bio field is deprecated for versions v2.8 and higher

Question

I used version 2.0.3.RELEASE of spring-social-facebook and Facebook app api v2.8. I called Facebook login but returned this message. \"(#12) bio field is deprecated for vers

Answer 1

I copied interface UserOperations in my project changing PROFILE_FIELDS removing bio field. On Tomcat, my edited class takes priority over org.springframework.social.facebook.api.UserOperations interface and this fix the problem. (see last rows of below file)
