Strange event handling in FBDialog?? (FB Task #439550)

[sfes]

When tapping 'Skip' button in FBDialog a delegate receives dialogDidComplete instead of dialogDidNotComplete. If this is not a bug please explain how to process a tap on 'Skip' button.

I'm seeing this as well. I added an NSLog to log the URL received by FBDialog's webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:

For publish.stream, when I hit "Publish" I see:

url: https://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php
url: fbconnect://success/?post_id=100000491842166_154457487927082

but when I hit Skip I see:

url: https://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php
url: fbconnect://success

Looks like it's ignoring the cancel_url parameter.

It is surprising that the API call the same method "dialogDidComplete" no matter whether "skip" or "publish" is pressed. I tried the following 3 methods to check, but none is called when "skip" is pressed:

• (void)dialogDidNotCompleteWithUrl:(NSURL *)url { //never called
• (void)dialogDidCancel:(NSURL *)url {//not called
• (void)dialogDidNotComplete:(FBDialog *)dialog {//not called

Does Facebook has an official answer for this? What should we do to "expect" the solution?

I am also having this exact same problem.
There was also an issue in the old API.
I assumed it was fixed in this new API - obviously not yet...

Opening an issue to look into this...

Whatever happened to this issue? Is it resolved? We are developing a new app with facebook integration. We'd like to know if the user pressed submit or cancel.

I just found this bug. It is quite disappointing to see that is still persists.

Seeing the same thing, pretty annoying bug. :(

Just figured out a workaround, in FBDialog.m, around line 400 (after NSURL* url = request.URL;) ... add the following:

if ([[url absoluteString] isEqualToString: @"fbconnect://success"] == YES) {
    [self dialogDidCancel:url];
    return NO;
}

Seems to do the trick for me.

We ran into this with ShareKit as well:
ShareKit/ShareKit#83

Seems there are issues open in Facebook's bug tracker for this:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/137604089677897?browse=search_4ec3715ee70598199320073
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/153320298096609?browse=search_4ec373f2be1aa0313896178

It's referenced here on GitHub in issues:
#11 (closed) - #11
#74 - #74
#209 - #209

Please make it a priority to get a fix for this into the master repo.

This issue was raised against a previous version of the Facebook SDK for iOS.

In 2012, the SDK had a significant rewrite and relaunch, and we are closing issues and pull requests that predate that v3.0 release.

If you are still experiencing this issue, please raise a new issue with repro steps in the supported SDK (currently v3.10). For more information, please see our iOS developer center at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/

Many thanks for using the Facebook Platform, and your support of this project.
