FB dialog is broken (unknown skip_api_login paramenter)

Question

We have been using the FB login for several years, both from our Mac and from Windows. Since about a month ago, a Windows application stopped connecting to FB, the request for FB simply returns with

skip_api_login = 1 & error = ACCESS_DENIED & error_code = 200 & error_description = Permissions + error & ERROR_REASON = user_denied

The problem is probably related to the skip_api_login = 1 parameter, but the fact is that we did not add this parameter - it was added by FB.

Everything works fine on a Mac, and we don’t have this setting.

Has FB changed the flow of its dialog? or, if not, what else could lead to this problem?

thanks

Answer 1

This is because the client on your PC is not redirecting properly.

Facebook returns this URL when it wants to display the login screen. As soon as the user logs in, he will return the usual answer that you expect.

Maybe you remove the event handler during the process?
