Domain Real Estate & Property app for iOS: Declining Facebook prompt still opens up Facebook sharing

iOS 13.6
Domain Real Estate & Property app for iOS (version 10.2.7)
Date: 08/14/20

Description:

There's an odd problem with Facebook sharing and the Domain Real Estate & Property app for iOS. This is a problem that I have occasionally seen with different apps, but I haven't been able to reproduce it on a consistent basis until I was able to do it with the Domain Real Estate & Property app.

Here's a screenshot of the issue:

The user will be presented with a prompt like this after trying to share a real estate listing. If the user selects the "Cancel" option to this prompt...

The Facebook sharing option still opens up! This shouldn't be happening, especially if the user declined this from the prompt.

With the Domain app this happens if:

The user shares something using the iOS share sheet while browsing the app in guest mode, or with any account created OTHER than Facebook login accounts.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the Domain Real Estate & Property app
2. (Don't create an account) - Select any real estate listing in the app
3. From any listing, select the share option
4. From the iOS share sheet menu, scroll over and select the "..." option
5. From the "Apps" option, scroll down and select "Facebook"
6. From the "Domain" wants to open "Facebook" prompt - select "Cancel"

Result: Selecting "Cancel" from an open Facebook prompt inside of the Domain Real Estate app does not work - selecting "Cancel" still opens a Facebook prompt

Expected: Selecting a "Cancel" option should NOT open up a Facebook sharing menu

Select any real estate listing...

Select the share option to activate the iOS Share Sheet...

Scroll over and select the "..." option...

Scroll down and select the "Facebook" option (notice that it is missing)...

Select the "Cancel" option...

The Facebook sharing option still appears!!!

Facebook Auth Login pages - Privacy Policy/TOS pages

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:

2. Head to Facebook authorization 

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