For some reason, Facebook has stopped returning email to the user in the user's JSON. I come back after successful user authentication.
I even upgraded the FacebookSDK for iOS from version 3.6 to v3.8 without any luck. Everything worked fine until a few weeks ago, but was gone. Its just email, all the other properties, that is, DOB, returned just fine. Facebook continues to change its permission system, but I don’t know the recent change that could cause this. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, I'm trying to authenticate with my own FB account that has a valid email associated with it, and I have not changed any privacy settings either.
They also tried to remove the application from the privacy settings on Facebook and re-enable, but still no luck. Here is the code:
[FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:@[@"user_about_me", @"user_location", @"user_birthday", @"email"] allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
switch (status) {
case FBSessionStateOpen: {
[[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"User Data: %@", user);
NSString *email = user[@"email"];
}];
}
break;
case FBSessionStateClosed:
case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
[FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
break;
default:
break;
}
}];
Screenshot of the Facebook application access page, which clearly shows that I configured it correctly:
Here is the JSON user, I will return in the API callback (I deleted my personal information).
{
bio = "My Bio";
birthday = "01/01/1900";
"first_name" = FN;
gender = male;
id = 00000000;
"last_name" = LN;
link = "https://www.facebook.com/FBName";
locale = "en";
location = {
id = 11111111111111111;
name = "City Name";
};
name = "FN LN";
quotes = "";
timezone = "0";
"updated_time" = "2000-00-07T00:00:21+0000";
username = USERNAME;
verified = 1;
}
