"Access Token not found" when using Facebook SDK

I have a BlackBerry app which needs to post a message to a user's Facebook wall. I am using the Facebook BlackBerry SDK.

I have set up a simple test app which attempts to get the current user's details when a button is pressed by calling the following method:

private void postToFacebookWall(){

    String NEXT_URL = "http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html";
    String APPLICATION_ID = "xxx"; //Removed for security
    String APPLICATION_SECRET = "xxx"; //Removed for security
    String[] PERMISSIONS = Facebook.Permissions.USER_DATA_PERMISSIONS;

    ApplicationSettings as = new ApplicationSettings(NEXT_URL, APPLICATION_ID, APPLICATION_SECRET, PERMISSIONS);
    Facebook fb = Facebook.getInstance(as);

    try {

        User user = fb.getCurrentUser();
        Logger.log("User has authenticated app and logged in. Name: "+user.getName());

    } catch (FacebookException e) {

        Logger.log(e.getMessage());
    }

}

Here's what happens when I click the button.

In the system log I receive an error message: Access Token not found.

Then the following login screen is shown:

Then I'm asked whether I would like to authenticate this app:

Clicking on 'Install' or 'Cancel' does nothing.

If I log into Facebook via the website and authenticate the app then I don't get the 'Access Token not found' error and everything works as expected.

How can I allow my Facebook app to be authenticated correctly to avoid the 'Access Token not found' error?

Actually any BB app with same approach can't authorize right now. It is FB issue, but no one is hurry to fix it.

  1. Here is mine question: Unable to pass FB OAuth for my application
  2. Here is FB bug ticket: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/401534949883394?browse=search_4ffad6fdebcfa6990918340
  3. Here is topic on dev forum: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/FaceBook-API-error-code-11-Method-Deprecated/m-p/1808833#M203977

I found workaround to pass it but it doesn't work for all OSes/devices. Use iPhone user agent "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16" and enable cookies in BrowserField.

Please mark FB issue as reproduced. So probably they will increase priority and fix it faster.

UPDATE: FB fixed the issue! Please verify!
