The following occur in the Unity Editor.

1) Issue 1 Finished loading Facebook dll, but could not find version info

2) Issue 2 Often get (but not always) Resolving host timed out even though my Internet connection is ok

Resolving host timed out: integrated-plugin-canvas-rsrc.fbsbx.com
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
FbDebug:Error(String)
<LoadFacebookClass>c__Iterator5:MoveNext() (at Assets/Facebook/Scripts/FB.cs:346)

QUESTION : For issue 2, can this error occur on mobile? How can I trap this error to handle it properly in my app?

3) Issue 3 QUESTION: can my app somehow subscribe to AppRequests so I can get them automatically in my app or do I need to poll Facebook every X seconds by going a FB.API("/me/apprequests” …) ?

4) Issue 4 - Cannot launch AppRequestAsFriendSelector in Unity Editor (but works well on mobile)

FacebookManager-CallAppRequestAsFriendSelector called successfully.

5) Otherwise great job! Thank you so much for improving Facebook integration in Unity. So much easier to test now that we can get a token in the Editor.

Answer 1

Thanks for the report. Like Ben said we'll look into #1 & #2.

For #3 Best practice is to have a menu that a player can get to manage their requests. That way you don't have to poll X seconds and only update from there.

To expand on #4, a custom filter should be a json string like so: ["all", {"name":"my filter", "user_ids":[<facebook_user_id>, <another_facebook_user_id>]}] when called with FB.AppRequest(). We have special defined key names like all, app_users that can go in the list. More custom filters should be in the form of a json object with two keys: name and user_ids with name being the list's name that is shown and the user_ids being the list of facebook user ids to put in there.

Thanks for the feedback and I hope this helps.
