KOLLYY - Clothing & Fashion app for iOS (version 3.0.9)

Date: 05/13/23

An app called KOLLYY for iOS has a non-working Facebook login. After selecting the Facebook option from inside the KOLLYY app, the user is taken to a not-found page

The same problem reproduces on web:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. (with the FB iOS app on the phone) Download and launch the KOLLYY app for iOS

2. Select "Me"

3. Select "Sign In/Register >"

4. Select the Facebook option 

5. From the "KOLLYY Wants to Use Facebook" pop-up select "Continue"

6. From the "Open in Facebook" pop-up select "open"

7. Note the "It looks like this app isn't available" error message

Result: The Facebook login path from inside he KOLLYY app to Facebook is broken. Select the Facebook login option from inside the KOLLYY app takes the user to a non-working page 

Expected: Facebook login and account creation with the KOLLYY app should work correctly 

Launch the KOLLYY app...

Choose the Facebook login option...

Select the "Continue" option from the pop-up...

Select "Open"...

Facebook login isn't working. Problem on KOLLYY's end.

Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique Hotels app for iOS: Canceling out of Facebook login results in bad error messaging

 iOS 15.3 on an iPhone 8

Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique Hotels app for iOS (version 4.0.6)

Date: 03/07/2022

Description:

Here's a bug I haven't seen in a long while! With the Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique Hotels app for iOS, there is an option to use your Facebook login to create an account. If you cancel out of this prompt, this is the error message that is displayed:

An error message of "The operation couldn't be completed. (User cancelled login. error 400.)" appears.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique Hotels app for iOS

2. Select "JOIN FOR FREE"

3. Select the blue Facebook option 

4. From the "SmithHotels" wants to Use" prompt, select "Cancel"

Result: Canceling out of the Facebook login prompt during account creation results in a less than informative error message

Expected: Error messages this bad shouldn't be displayed with iOS 

Select the "JOIN FOR FREE" option...

Select the Facebook option...

Select "Cancel"...

Facebook app for iOS: Canceling out of prompt after leaving the Previously Logged In screen strands user - certain apps!

 iOS 14.7

Facebook app for iOS (version 328.0)

Date: 07/27/21

Description:

There's a strange problem that I have started noticing with Facebook's login authorization process when accessed via a Facebook login for account creation in an iOS app.

This does NOT happen with all apps. I just spotted this with Flipboard and Etsy - and I assume that it happens with some other apps.

This leaves the user stranded inside the Facebook iOS app - and is really bad end-user experience. 

Take a look at Flipboard's "You previously logged in to Flipboard with Facebook" authorization screen. If the user cancels out of this page:

And then selects the "Cancel" option from this prompt:

The "Cancel" option in the upper left will disappear. This leaves the user...

Completely and totally stranded here. There doesn't appear to be any way to "Cancel" out of anything, and the user is forced to restart the Facebook app. This is a new problem, that I spotted with apps such as Flipboard and Etsy. I don't ever recall seeing this happen before.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have a Facebook account that has previously logged into Flipboard 

2. Download and launch the Flipboard app (version 4.2.111)

3.  Pick the three topics to follow and advance to the account login screen

4. Choose the "Continue with Facebook" prompt

5. From the "Flipboard wants to use Facebook" prompt select "Continue"

6. From the "Open in Facebook" prompt select "Open"

7. From the "You previously logged in" page select "Cancel"

8. From the "Facebook wants to open Flipboard" prompt select "Cancel"

9. Watch the "Cancel" in the upper left disappear 

Result: The user gets trapped on a page after canceling out of a Facebook authorization prompt - user is stuck with the Facebook app being unresponsive, cannot exit from a white screen

Expected: User should not be trapped 

Like I said: this seems to be happening with some apps - not all. 

They will now sometimes be stranded!

.@isayweee Minor problem with the iOS app - selecting “Cancel” on a Facebook sharing prompt still activates the OAuth form. See video: pic.twitter.com/7jR5vuwdp7

— Random iOS Bugs (@RandomiOSBugs) September 17, 2020

The app has an option to send out invites. If the user selects the Facebook option, there is this prompt:

 This prompt is a bit problematic, because selecting the "Cancel" option still activates a Facebook log-in page. Selecting "Cancel" should not be doing this!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Weee! app

2. Create an account

3. Select the "Invite a Friend to Join" option 

4. Select the "Send Invite Now" button

5. Select the Facebook option from the share menu

6. Select "Cancel" from the "Weee!" wants to open Facebook' prompt

Result: Selecting "Cancel" on an open Facebook prompt inside of the Weee! app isn't working - still activates a Facebook log-in

Expected: Selecting "Cancel" should work and cancel a process 

After creating an account - select the "Invite a friend to join" option...

Select the "Send invite now!" button...

Select the "Facebook" option...

Select the "Cancel" option...

This Facebook login page is still activated - even though the user selected the "Cancel" option!

Facebook Login: New links lead to pages that have a non-working share option

iOS 13.6
Facebook Auth Login pages - Privacy Policy/TOS pages
Date: 08/01/20

Description:

Here's an odd thing that either just started, or I just started noticing. Facebook Authorization Login pages now seem have added links to the bottom.

Take a look at this screenshot:

This is the Log in for Pinterest. As you can see, two links have been added.

A great addition! Twitter authorization always had this.

There's an odd but that appears to happen after being taken to the pages linked to by this link. There's a share option which doesn't work.

Take a look at this screenshot:

Users are taken from the Facebook log in to pages like this. You'll notice the share option in the upper right...

The "Share Link" option does nothing. It should bring up the iOS share sheet, but it does not.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using an app running iOS 13.6, launch an app that has a Facebook option for account creation 

2. Head to Facebook authorization 

3. Click on the next links at the bottom of the authorization page

4. Click on the "share" option in the upper right 

5. Click on "Share Link" option in the pop-up menu 

Result: There is a "Share Link" option accessible from the new links on the Facebook Messenger log in page - selecting "Share Link" does nothing, it should bring up the iOS share sheet

Expected: A "Share Link" option should work - should activate the iOS share sheet
