I am using the iOS Built in frameworks to connect. After asking for publish_stream

  • 0

I am using the iOS Built in frameworks to connect. After asking for "publish_stream" permissions, FB returns an error:

Error Domain=com.apple.accounts Code=7 "The Facebook server could not fulfill this access request: The app must ask for a basic read permission at install time." UserInfo=0x145ad6a0 {NSLocalizedDescription=The Facebook server could not fulfill this access request: The app must ask for a basic read permission at install time.}

What is going on here? Showing two user permission popups is a less than ideal user experience.

    The very first time, you must ask for read permissions. You cannot auth the user initially with any type of publish/write permissions. What you should do after that is, where it makes sense in your app, ask for publish_stream permission. Definitely do not do the initial permission and then immediately ask for the publish_stream permission.

    See this note in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorial/iossdk/upgrading-from-3.0-to-3.1/, section “Asking for Read & Write Permissions Separately”. Even though this applies to the Facebook SDK for iOS it is an extension of the same requirement in the built-in framework.
