The app references non-public selector in id (Facebook SDK iOS)

Question

I was having this warning when submitting my app with Application Loader.

The app references non-public selector in MyApp : id

This warning

Answer 1

This problem happens because of the Facebook SDK for iOS.

Application Loader forbids the use of the variable "id" from any FBGraphUser related class (maybe others variables too, didn't test) - e.g. :

id<FBGraphUser> friend
id<FBGraphUserExtraFields>user

Facebook is informed about this problem as of january 2013 : Bug Report

The workaround for the moment is to use these:

[user objectForKey:@"id"]
[friend objectForKey:@"id"]

instead of user.id and friend.id as shown in the different Facebook samples.

Answer 2

I solved this issue (where 13.1 would still generate warnings and produce an invalid binary in itunesconnect) by downloading the FacebookSDK source from Github (link) and using the "build_framework.sh" script in the scripts dir. Then added the generated framework to my Xcode project - and got no more warnings.

Answer 3

For anyone new coming here looking for an answer on this. The problem seem to have been fixed in v3.14.1 according to Facebook SDK change log

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/change-log-3.x/

• The id property on the types FBGraphObject, FBGraphPlace, FBOpenGraphAction, and FBOpenGraphObject have been deprecated in favor of objectID to avoid app store submission warnings.

• The description property of FBLinkShareParams and FBOpenGraphObject
  has been deprecated in favor of linkDescription and
  objectDescription, respectively, to avoid app store submission
  warnings.

Answer 4

File FBGraphUser.h

change

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *id;

by

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *FbUserId;

Answer 5

Facebook iOS SDK 3.12 the same problem in FBGraphUser.h.

Change

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *id;

to

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *UserId;

Answer 6

The validation warnings are also present in v3.13. I don't know if this will work for other people but he's a quick workaround that got rid of the error. In FBGraphUser.h around line 41 I changed...

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *id;

to

@property (retain, nonatomic) NSString *FBUserID; 

I was also getting the same validation warning about setProfileId so I went to FBProfilePictureView.h and changed profileID on line 54 & 76 to FBID.

I then updated my FBLoginView information in my game's ViewController to reflect the changes. Everything FB related still seems to work in my app and it passed the Application Loader validation.
