    This is certainly no problem. Just implement the server-side authentication flow on your web server. Instead of placing a login button on a website where you redirect the user to the Facebook dialog, you open the browser on the smartphone (or embedd a Webview) with that URI. The redirect_uri then points to your web server callback, where you receive the authorization code. Then you exchange that code for an access token by calling Facebook from your server and you’re done.

    On the phone, point the browser to:

    https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?
    client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
    &redirect_uri=https://YOUR_SERVER/YOUR_CALLBACK
    &scope=COMMA_SEPARATED_LIST_OF_PERMISSION_NAMES
    &state=SOME_ARBITRARY_BUT_UNIQUE_STRING

    After handling the callback, issue a request from your server to:

    https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?
    client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
    &redirect_uri=https://YOUR_SERVER/YOUR_CALLBACK
    &client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET
    &code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE_YOU_RECEIVED
