Facebook iOS SK initial version broken

I have over half-a-dozen apps with Facebook integration. They all used the old Facebook iOS SDK (prior to the sing-sign-on version of their sdk). Everything worked fine for the last year or so. Now, all apps report the error: "action links must have strings 'href' and 'text' attributes," which is a total bs since they do and it has worked.

When I remove the action-links (from Xcode and run), things work fine except that the "user_message_prompt" text is ignored (i.e. no customized message presented to the user). So, has facebook basically decided to force everyone to update to their latest sdk or am I missing something? I am surprised that I didn't find many such complaints.

I know, if I am going to release an upgrade, I will just migrate to the latest version (I hate to be forced to upgrade every time a third party decides to release upgrade to their sdk though).

Thanks

I just bumped into the same error message with the old (2.x) SDK. In my case, it turned out that the original name and link action fields were fine, I just had to make sure the link is not the empty string, and voila!

This is by design. As of July 12th, this value is being ignored. The SDK no longer allows you to pre-populate this field:

The only other option is to use your own custom dialogs and utilize the graph API to post the update.
