or LSApplicationQueriesSchemes

. If you have, you should merge their values, instead of adding a duplicate key.
Skip Step 5 (Connect Your App Delegate) and all the rest.
And that's it for iOS.
Go to My App on Facebook and select your application.
You should add the App Icon (in Settings -> Basic) to let users see your application icon instead of the default icon when they attempt to log in.
In Setting -> Basic -> iOS fill up field "iPhone Store ID" ("iPad Store ID").
You may want to change some other settings. For example Display Name, Contact Email, Category, etc.
By default, your application has the status "In development".
You should enable application before log in feature goes public.
Facebook will show a warning if your application is not fully set up. For example, you may need to provide a Privacy Policy. You can use your Privacy Policy from Google Play/App Store.
You can:
- log in via Facebook;
- get access token;
- get user profile;
- get user profile image url;
- get user email (if has permissions);
- check if logged in;
- log out.
Sample code:
import 'package:flutter_login_facebook/flutter_login_facebook.dart';
// Create an instance of FacebookLogin
final fb = FacebookLogin();
// Log in
final res = await fb.logIn(permissions: [
FacebookPermission.publicProfile,
FacebookPermission.email,
]);
// Check result status
switch (res.status) {
case FacebookLoginStatus.Success:
// Logged in
// Send this access token to server for validation and auth
final accessToken = res.accessToken;
// Send access token to server for validation and auth
final FacebookAccessToken accessToken = res.accessToken;
print('Access token: ${accessToken.token}');
// Get profile data
final profile = await fb.getUserProfile();
print('Hello, ${profile.name}! You ID: ${profile.userId}');
// Get user profile image url
final imageUrl = await plugin.getProfileImageUrl(width: 100);
print('Your profile image: $imageUrl');
// Get email (since we request email permission)
final email = await fb.getUserEmail();
// But user can decline permission
if (email != null)
print('And your email is $email');
break;
case FacebookLoginStatus.Cancel:
// User cancel log in
break;
case FacebookLoginStatus.Error:
// Log in failed
print('Error while log in: ${res.error}');
break;
}
