Facebook SDK: app not registered as a URL Scheme

Question

I am using the Facebook SDK found here, and am trying the sample that is provided (in the folder FacebookiOSSample).

If I simply replace the AppId here with my specific AppId, then I can no longer Share. (I replaced it in both the AppDelegate file and the info.plist file). I now receive the following error:

FBSDKLog: Invalid use of FBAppCall, fb**** is not registered as a URL Scheme. Did you set 'FacebookUrlSchemeSuffix' in your plist?

Otherwise this works fine with the sample's original AppId which points to something named IFaceTouch.

What could be wrong with the setup of my app, how do I register my AppId?

Answer 1

In terms of raw keys and values you should have CFBundleURLTypes and CFBundleURLSchemes. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

there is another section below the info - URL Types

check that the values there, under the URL Schemes field match the value in the URL types -> URL Schemes in the property list above. (and also match the FacebookAppID)

Answer 3

For iOS 9

If you have an error: 'LSApplicationQueriesSchemes'

Based on Bear with me answer, you will also have to add those lines:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
   <string>fbauth2</string>
</array>

See this.

You should end up with those lines at the end of your .plist files:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>fb2R3234544534554</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>
    <key>FacebookAppID</key>
    <string>2R3234544534554</string>
    <key>FacebookDisplayName</key>
    <string>stevejeff</string>
    <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
        <dict>
            <key>facebook.com</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>
            <key>fbcdn.net</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>
            <key>akamaihd.net</key>
            <dict>
                <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
                <true/>
                <key>NSThirdPartyExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
                <false/>
            </dict>
        </dict>
    </dict>
    <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
        <string>fbauth2</string>
    </array>
    </dict>
    </plist>

* If you're using v4.6.0 or higher of the SDK, you only need to add:* (Thanks mohsinj)

   <key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
      <array>
        <string>fbapi</string>
        <string>fb-messenger-api</string>
        <string>fbauth2</string>
        <string>fbshareextension</string>
   </array>
