Question

This is driving me crazy. A user logs into my Facebook app, does some stuff. Then goes to Facebook and logs out. I’ve got a little timer that calls FB.getLoginStatus() every once in a while to see if the user is still logged in. But whenever FB.getLoginStatus() gets called it returns a response with a session object. WTF? Shouldn’t it return undefined/unknown?

I’m using the absolute most basic call to Facebook evar:

FB.init({
    appId: 'MY APP ID',
    cookies: false,
    status: true,
    xfbml: false
});

FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) {
    if (response.session) {
        console.info("Session exists");
    } else {
        console.info("Session empty");
    }
});

setInterval(function () {
    FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) {
        if (response.session) {
            console.info("Session exists");
        } else {
            console.info("Session empty");
        }
    });
}, 10000);

I checked and double checked the permissions that are being requested with the allow. I am only requesting email and sms. So…. any advice?

Try initializating FB with

status: false

So it will work as you expect. It worked for me
