facebook-ios-sdk logout question

Question

I have seen a lot of questions here regarding the Facebook Graph API but I still haven\'t find a solution for simple \'login\'/\'logout\' operations using it. Looks like the

Answer 1

It seems that this is a bug of Facebook SDK. In a case of the Facebook app is installed on device, access_token is renewed. In other hand, access_token and expirationDate could not be changed. :((

Answer 2

Answer already done, but I just want to clarify it. May be it saved somebody's time.

Go to Facebook.m and change line

  [self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:YES];

to

  [self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:NO];

It will cause login window appear inside the app. Logout will work perfect. In other words, it will work as it used to in older versions of OS.

Answer 3

In new SDK of Facebook, you can set login button loginBehaviour property

Below code in swift ...

let fbButton = FBSDKLoginButton()
fbButton.loginBehavior = .Web

Answer 4

Eduardo,

I feel your pain! I spent the better part of a day working on this issue. I have discovered that when you use SSO and the call:

Called from your code:

[facebook logout:self];

Facebook API method:

- (void)logout:(id<FBSessionDelegate>)delegate {

  self.sessionDelegate = delegate;
  [_accessToken release];
  _accessToken = nil;
  [_expirationDate release];
  _expirationDate = nil;

  NSHTTPCookieStorage* cookies = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
  NSArray* facebookCookies = [cookies cookiesForURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://login.facebook.com"]];

  for (NSHTTPCookie* cookie in facebookCookies) {
    [cookies deleteCookie:cookie];
  }

  if ([self.sessionDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(fbDidLogout)]) {
    [_sessionDelegate fbDidLogout];
  }
}

The facebook API does invalidate the access token and expirationdate variables and attempts to delete the mobile Safari cookies, but for some reason, probably Apple's fault the cookies are not really deleted. So when you attempt to login in the next time your mobile Safari will see the cookie and it says:

"You have already authorized .... Press "Okay" to continue. Logged in as ... (Not You?)."

Until either Facebook finds a fix or Apple fixes their broken API we must bypass SSO through Safari. Below are the changes I made to Facebook.m in order to force the old login dialog. If you used these changes they may not work forever but it is my guess that they will work for a very long time. Also to be sure this worked with the most recent facebook API I updated to the latest as of this post (Nov 2011 build).

Called from your code:

[facebook authorize:permissions];

Facebook API method:

- (void)authorize:(NSArray *)permissions {
  self.permissions = permissions;

//  [self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:YES];
    [self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:NO safariAuth:NO];
}

If this helps you please up rate this thread and my post to help others find it.

Hii ,

its not possible , the reason is for Single Sign On (SSO) is not to make user login everytime, he logouts , instead if the user logs in anyone of FB enabled apps - it will use that to login again - This is because the device is mostly used by single person in this case only one user can login in Facebook.

you can't control any app outside of your app - for Example - if u login with Gmail & when you open google.com you can see your username there is currently logged In which has SSO,

Answer 6

in addition to kishnan94 answer. the objective c version is ;

if you want a modal to open up and ask for facebook credentials seperately from Safari or Facebook app, just use the latest facebook sdk and set the login behaviour

FBSDKLoginManager *login = [[FBSDKLoginManager alloc] init];
[login setLoginBehavior:FBSDKLoginBehaviorWeb];

this will make the logout process more convenient and less confusing for users without using safari or facebook app accounts.
