Guys, it's change on the Facebook side:

http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/445

basically Facebook SDK for BB needs to be fixed.

i don't see how the change mentioned in the developer blog has any impact on the BB SDK, strawberry should use oauth 2.0 already.

Apparently it has, since on 11th it was working, and on 12th it stopped. BTW, as gratefull as I am for this SDK to exist, it's not very clean.

[simon_hain]

my own tests confirm the findings. i will escalate the issue with rim.

if you know where we can write to rim, say around here to complain all and they fix it quickly

[simon_hain]

it seems that the problem is caused by a change, or error, on facebook side. i don't know what rim can do directly, maybe use some contact to facebook to check what happened. it would be quite helpful if somebody who already researched a bit into the issue could report the bug on http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/

Who would be responsible for this sdk? Facebook or Blackberry/rim?

[mstawick]

I think neither of them. Just some nice guy who wrote it and made it opensource.

[Matoz · Accepted solution]

I think I found a solution.

In the LoginScreen in the constructor the URL is http://m.facebook.com/tos.php. The tos.php seems to redirect to http://m.facebook.com/login.php. While this redirect something seems to get lost.

I have changed the url to http://m.facebook.com/login.php and my application is working again.

Can someone please confirm this fix? Our application should go live very soon.

This is the changed Constructor of LoginScreen

	public LoginScreen(FacebookContext pfbc, CookieManager cookieManager) {
		super(new StringBuffer().append("http://m.facebook.com/login.php?").append("api_key=").append(pfbc.getApplicationSettings().applicationKey).append('&').append("v=1.0").append('&').append("next=").append(pfbc.getApplicationSettings().nextUrl).toString(), pfbc, cookieManager);
		settings = pfbc.getApplicationSettings();
		addActionListener(this);
		log.info("(LoginScreen) URL: " + getUrl());
	}

I will confirm that it works (for now......)

Thanks everybody!
