C2 w/ Facebook Login and Intel XDK

I am having a really difficult time getting the Facebook login feature to work once I import into Intel XDK.

I know I have seen others saying they have it working so I must be missing something. Hopefully someone will be kind enough to point out what I need to do differently.

My goal is ultimately to have the player be able to sign in with their FB account and I will personalize the game with their name, scores, etc.

I have tested with Cranberry's FB 2.x and PB plugins and ended up running into the same issues.

Here is what I tested:

• In C2, build titleLayout w/ titleEvents
• Add a sprite for the button as btnSprite
• Add the C2 Facebook Object
• Enter my Facebook Developer App ID and Secret
• In the titleEvents add Event for Touch on btnSprite with Facebook Log In action Browser in PC, Android and iOS
• In C2, Export HTML5
• In Filezilla, upload exported files to server
• In browser, test live page
• Login successful Android App Emulate
• In C2, export Cordova specific to Android
• In Intel XDK, import Android files exported in C2 to create a new project as a Hybrid app
• Check the box for Facebook Connect then enter applicable App ID and App Name
• I have also tested without checking the Facebook Connect with the same results
• Go to Emulate
• Click the btnSprite
• Nothing happens

I have essentially done the same thing using Intel XDK Test and Build for Android and iOS, various versions and hardware devices. All have resulted in the btnSprite doing nothing.

The one thing I have been unsure of is the App Name. I assume this is the "Display Name" in the FB Developer account under Settings. I have the main app and the test app. I expect as long as the "Display Name" and the App Id are from the same app it should be fine.

I also found that I didn't have the toggle for "Do you want to make this app...general public?" under "Status & Review" set to "Yes" so I fixed that. It appears to apply to the whole app including any test apps within it.

This has been making me nuts.

I am considering trying to use the HTML_iFrame plugin to pass the FB information and sign in back and forth but am really hoping to get the proper Log In to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adding some detail as I continue to troubleshoot.

I have created a clean capx just to test the FB stuff and hopefully to figure out what I am doing wrong. There will be one for the default C2 FB plugin and then one each for the cranberry v2 and PB plugin tests.

I am also writing a comprehensive, step-by-step, process to further determine what I am missing.

Some assumptions that I am making are:

App ID = Facebook App ID

Secret = Facebook App Secret

Facebook app name (requested in Intel XDK) = Google Play Package Name from Facebook Dev (ie com.gmgllctest.gruvisoft)

App NAME (requested in Cranberry v2 plugin) = Google Play Package Name from Facebook Dev (ie com.gmgllctest.gruvisoft)

Processes that I am using as a guide are:

Follow FB Dev app creation here: http://shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/facebook-functions-for-cordova-crosswalk-phongegap/

Intel XDK "Import an existing HTML5 project" section from here: http://shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/how-to-build-with-crosswalk/

Here is the process that I have been going through:

1. Follow FB Dev app creation here: http://shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/fa ... phongegap/

2. Add email into the apps "Settings\Contact Email"

3. Make app publicly available in "Status & Review" using the toggle button

4. Add a Platform to add website, required for web testing

5. Open C2 and create Empty Project

-- b. Add event - Facebook - Is user logged in - helloText - Set text to "hello "&Facebook.FirstName

-- f. Leave Minimum defaults and click Export

-- g. Open Intel XDK and follow the "Import an existing HTML5 project" section from here: http://shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/ho ... crosswalk/

I am now trying out the Pode HTML iFrame plugin. I send the frame to a page that I created with the FB login form and the frame works for signing in.

Any recommendations on passing the user information, such as FirstName, back to the C2 Layout?

Below is the latest capx using the pode plugin

C2 file using frame : http://gruvisoft.com/games/shared/fbtest_frame.capx

Pode HTML Plugin: https://www.scirra.com/forum/plugins-pode-html-pack_t69356

I am hoping to be able to keep the Facebook user account connection in the game but might have to abandon the idea for v1 if I cant figure it out.

Ok. I completed another build of the test last night using the tutorial here: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/1319/how-to-use-phonegap-facebook-plugin-for-android-cranberrys-plugin

Thought maybe there was a step I was missing. Still nothing happens after I export to android using Cordova then Intel XDK for Crosswalk and Android.

I keep seeing references to an example capx but I cant find it anywhere. I thought it was supposed to be included in the plugin download.

Latest test capx is here: http://gruvisoft.com/games/fbtest/fbtest_frame_game.capx

It is a bit of a mess with all the tests I have done. The latest is on the default loading Layout with the "Log In" and "Log Out" buttons. Those are supposed to use the PhonegapFacebook plugin.

Found another test to run through here: https://plus.google.com/102658703990850475314/posts/FHsiUrvZXWT

Still no dice

Hi Gmgllc,

This is something i asked about before but like you got no reply. Hopefully you can figure it out as i had no luck when i tried it and it is something i would love to have in my game also. Best of luck.

Thanks for the confirmation that I am not the only one having this trouble.

I have given up on the Facebook login for v1 of my game. Hopefully I can get it figured out for v2.

I hate giving up but I have spent way more time than I should have on trying to get this working.

Please keep me posted if you get it figured out. I will do the same for you.

I'm facing the same problem. If some one can get us on the right direction would be wonderful!!!

yep, im waiting for a solution too..

I managed to get this working with Cranberrys plugin. I had to actually export the .apk and run it on my phone for it to work. Login works, posting to wall works and friend leader-board works. ( though you can only see friends scores that are "Test users" on your FB dev account until you submit it for review )

BIG thank you to Cranberry for making this so easy and possible.

METR1C

Can you provide any example capx for this. I am also trying to make it possible for my game . Trying to achieve facebook profile picture and other facebook features like that in Candy crush Saga for android .

Thank you in advance

Having the same problem, tried a lot of things making android build using PhoneGap but still having the same problem.
