[Feature] Support iOS URL scheme suffix

[peterpeterparker]

[X] I want to submit a feature request

Description

In order to use the same Facebook Id in multiple applications on iOS, custom URL scheme suffix would need to be use (see screenshot from the Facebook developer console). Unfortunately, this is not yet possible with the current version of this plugin

History

A PR was submitted (#386). The provided solution itself looks correct, modifying -Info.plit in order to add FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix and the suffix behind the APP_ID in CFBundleURLSchemes.

Unfortunately the PR had to be rejected because it introduced a mandatory suffix/variable, which of course can't be integrated, URL scheme suffix should remain optional.

Furthermore, in case of no URL scheme suffix, the behavior should remains the same as actual status, respectively, if nothing specified, no FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix or other info should be added or modified in -Info.plit

Goal

If URL scheme suffix are not used, nothing should be added and different than with actual version of the plugin respectively -Info.plit should not be modified

If URL scheme suffix should be use, -Info.plit should contains a new child and value for FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix and the suffix should be added after the APP_ID in the CFBundleURLSchemes value

Hi @peterpeterparker

I added the following PR: #656 for this issue.

@jbgomez21 thx, unfortunately I had to reject this PR #656 for the same reason I had to reject #386

Adding a default value isn't the solution

Hi @peterpeterparker
You are right!!
So, what is the way to add dynamically this?

<config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix">
      <string>$URL_SCHEME</string>
 </config-file>

@jbgomez21 I've added a goal section in the description of the issue. How it should be solve I don't know, but it should definitely not change the behavior for everyone not using suffix

This plugin is deprecated. Check out cordova-plugin-facebook-connect at https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-facebook-connect. That plugin now supports providing a URL scheme suffix for each app.
