FB.ui permissions.request issue in new OAuth window - user-interface

I having an issue with FB.ui permissions.request window.
FB.ui({
method: 'permissions.request',
perms: 'publish_actions',
display: 'popup'
},function(response) {
// This function is never called ? });
Context :
I use the new OAuth window (with timeline), i have configured my apps to work with it.
I'm french and use Facebook in French.
First issue :
- My callback function is never called ...
Second issue :
- The new OAuth window, seem to be not the good window.
It's called 'permission request' but inside it is the copy of login window. And no permission request is displayed.
So, my question is : how can i do the permission request in js ?
How displaying this window : https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/app_extended_perms.png/ ?
Thanks.

The reason you are not seeing it is because the application process has become a two step process.
Being that the person accepts to login into your application.
Being the person accept your extended permission which is where the callback url comes into play.
Documentation can be found here.
So the reason your callback isn't being called is because the two step process. I would suggest making the response attached to second page that is called.
I am not sure how the JS SDK works but it is how I managed to do it.
Goodluck.

Disable "Enhanced Auth Dialog" in your app's advance settings and see if it works. If you want to stick with Enhanced Auth Dialog then checkout Setup Auth Dialog Preview for Authenticating user section of this tutorial.

Is it possible to force fail a recaptcha v2 for testing purposes? (I.e. pretend to be a robot)

I'm implementing an invisible reCAPTCHA as per the instructions in the documentation: reCAPTCHA V2 documentation
I've managed to implement it without any problems. But, what I'd like to know is whether I can simulate being a robot for testing purposes?
Is there a way to force the reCAPTCHA to respond as if it thought I was a robot?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In the Dev Tools, open Settings, then Devices, add a custom device with any name and user agent equal to Googlebot/2.1.
Finally, in Device Mode, at the left of the top bar, choose the device (the default is Responsive).
You can test the captcha in https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo?invisible=true
(This is a demo of the Invisible Recaptcha. You can remove the url invisible parameter to test with the captcha button)
You can use a Chrome Plugin like Modify Headers and Add a user-agent like Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html).
For Firefox, if you don't want to install any add-ons, you can easily manually change the user agent :
Enter about:config into the URL box and hit return;
Search for “useragent” (one word), just to check what is already there;
Create a new string (right-click somewhere in the window) titled (i.e. new
preference) “general.useragent.override”, and with string value
"Googlebot/2.1" (or any other you want to test with).
I tried this with Recaptcha v3, and it indeed returns a score of 0.1
And don't forget to remove this line from about:config when done testing !
I found this method here (it is an Apple OS article, but the Firefox method also works for Windows) : http://osxdaily.com/2013/01/16/change-user-agent-chrome-safari-firefox/
I find that if you click on the reCaptcha logo rather than the text box, it tends to fail.
This is because bots detect clickable hitboxes, and since the checkbox is an image, as well as the "I'm not a robot" text, and bots can't process images as text properly, but they CAN process clickable hitboxes, which the reCaptcha tells them to click, it just doesn't tell them where.
Click as far away from the checkbox as possible while keeping your mouse cursor in the reCaptcha. You will then most likely fail it. ( it will just bring up the thing where you have to identify the pictures).
The pictures are on there because like I said, bots can't process images and recognize things like cars.
yes it is possible to force fail a recaptcha v2 for testing purposes.
there are two ways to do that
First way :
you need to have firefox browser for that just make a simple form request
and then wait for response and after getting response click on refresh button firefox will prompt a box saying that " To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. " then click on "resend"
by doing this browser will send previous " g-recaptcha-response " key and this will fail your recaptcha.
Second way
you can make any simple post request by any application like in linux you can use curl to make post request.
just make sure that you specify all your form filed and also header for request and most important thing POST one field name as " g-recaptcha-response " and give any random value to this field
Just completing the answer of Rafael, follow how to use the plugin
None of proposed answers worked for me. I just wrote a simple Node.js script which opens a browser window with a page. ReCaptcha detects automated browser and shows the challenge. The script is below:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
let testReCaptcha = async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://yourpage.com');
};
testReCaptcha();
Don't forget to install puppeteer by running npm i puppeteer and change yourpage.com to your page address

How to Close/Exit current instance of Xamarin.Forms app while loading a new one

We are facing a strange issue. Not sure if it is design flaw of the existing application. Your help/suggestion is appreciated.
We have a Xamarin.forms app. Targeted both for iOS and Android.
Problem is coming mainly in Android app.
Application flow:
once we logout from the application, app opens an logout activity and delete user info and other data.
opens a new activity for login which contains client SSO implementation
on successful login, app is setting user info and fetch data from web service.
then it calls LoadApplication method so that flow comes back in main application
Now if user perform logout/login several times, its opening a new application instance by calling LoadApplication method and then displaying home screen
So when user is tapping back button in home page, app is not closing and displays previous instance of same application.
User need to press back button several times (depending how many time user perform logout-login).
Is there any goodway to stop this?
Can we close current instance of the application before LoadApplication being called?
Stuck for a long time.
I'd try to avoid to call LoadApplication more then once. You should control the navigation stack.
Given you are on the LogoutPage
remove all views via PopToRootAsync
show the LoginPage
await Navigation.PopToRootAsync(false);
await Navigation.PushAsync(new LoginPage(), true);
This blog post may be worth a reading: https://jfarrell.net/2015/01/22/understanding-xamarin-forms-navigation/
Kindly try this.

[Activity (NoHistory = true)]
public class LoginActivity : Activity { }
The saving instance error has gone a while after I implement it on MainActivity.

Detect url the user is viewing in chrome/firefox/safari

How can you detect the url that I am browsing in chrome/safari/firefox via cocoa (desktop app)?
As a side but related note, are there any security restrictions when developing a desktop app that the user will be alerted and asked if they want to allow? e.g. if the app accesses their contact information etc.
Looking for a cocoa based solution, not javascript.
I would do this as an extension, and because you would like to target Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, I'd use a cross-browser extension framework like Crossrider.
So go to crossrider.com, set up an account and create a new extension. Then open the background.js file and paste in code like this:
appAPI.ready(function($) {
appAPI.message.addListener({channel: "notifyPageUrl"}, function(msg) {
//Do something, like send an xhr post somewhere
// notifying you of the pageUrl that the user visited.
// The url is contained within msg.pageUrl
});
var opts = { listen: true};
// Note: When defining the callback function, the first parameter is an object that
// contains the page URL, and the second parameter contains the data passed
// to the context of the callback function.
appAPI.webRequest.onBeforeNavigate.addListener(function(details, opaqueData) {
// Where:
// * details.pageUrl is the URL of the tab requesting the page
// * opaqueData is the data passed to the context of the callback function
if(opaqueData.listen){
appAPI.message.toBackground({
msg: details.pageUrl
}, {channel: "notifyPageUrl"});
}
}, opts ); // opts is the opaque parameter that is passed to the callback function
});
Then install the extension! In the example above, nothing is being done with the detected pageUrl that the user is visiting, but you can do whatever you like here - you could send a message to the user, you could restrict access utilizing the cancel or redirectTo return parameters, you could log it locally utilizing the crossrider appAPI.db API or you could send the notification elsewhere, cross-domain, to wherever you like utilizing an XHR request from the background directly.
Hope that helps!
And to answer the question on security issues desktop-side, just note that desktop applications will have the permissions of the user under which they run. So if you are thinking of providing a desktop app that your users will run locally, say something that will detect urls they access by tapping into the network stream using something like winpcap on windows or libpcap on *nix varieties, then just be aware of that - and also that libpcap and friends would have to have access to a network card that can be placed in promiscuous mode in the first place, by the user in question.
the pcap / installed desktop app solutions are pretty invasive - most folks don't want you listening in on literally everything and may actually violate some security policies depending on where your users work - their network administrators may not appreciate you "sniffing", whether that is the actual purpose or not. Security guys can get real spooky so-to-speak on these kinds of topics.
The extension via Crossrider is probably the easiest and least intrusive way of accomplishing your goal if I understand the goal correctly.
One last note, you can get the current tab urls for all tabs using Crossrider's tabs API:
// retrieves the array of tabs
appAPI.tabs.getAllTabs(function(allTabInfo) {
// Display the array
for (var i=0; i<allTabInfo.length; i++) {
console.log(
'tabId: ' + allTabInfo[i].tabId +
' tabUrl: ' + allTabInfo[i].tabUrl
);
}
});
For the tab API, refer to:
http://docs.crossrider.com/#!/api/appAPI.tabs
For the background navigation API:
http://docs.crossrider.com/#!/api/appAPI.webRequest.onBeforeNavigate
And for the messaging:
http://docs.crossrider.com/#!/api/appAPI.message
And for the appAPI.db stuff:

Have you looked into the Scripting Bridge? You could have an app that launches, say, an Applescript which verifies if any of the well known browser is opened and ask them which documents (URL) they are viewing.
Note: It doesn't necessarily need to be an applescript; you can access the Scripting Bridge through cocoa.
It would, however, require the browser to support it. I know Safari supports it but ignore if the others do.
Just as a quick note:
There are ways to do it via AppleScript, and you can easily wrap this code into NSAppleScript calls.
Here's gist with AppleScript commands for Safari and Chrome. Firefox seems to not support AE.
Well obviously this is what I had come across on google.
chrome.tabs.
getSelected
(null,
function
(tab) {
alert
(tab.url);
}) ;
in pure javascript we can use
alert(document.URL);
alert(window.location.href)
function to get current url

xcode project always gets facebook login fail status

I encountered a facebook login problem. I installed FB SDK 3.0 and sample projects seemly run well --- not quite sure though. When I create a button in my own project and try to log in to Facebook, I always get FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed from sessionStateChanged method, although I apparently get the page "You have already authorized this app. Press Okay to continue". I also tried log out through Simulator Safari facebook page, and re-launched my project and I got new username/password page and I then logged in, but I still get FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed!
A few more observations.
1, I got FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed thru NSLog, the log comes up right after I clicked Okay button on the Facebook page "You have already authorized this app.
2, I tried clean xcode project cache, but no help.
Kind of frustrated. I wonder if any of you can help on this problem. Appreciated!
-Tony
Addition:
I did a bit more research, and I found what I have is probably a typical problem, as Facebook highlight here ("Pro-tip 3: Complete all iOS App Settings" section in page http://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login-with-facebook-using-ios-sdk/). The image with a big red cross over iPhone is exactly what I have. From xcode project, I click my login button, and I'm directed to this page, and every time I have to click "Okay" on this page (let me call it Okay_page) to go back to my app in Simulator, however with login status as FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed. I checked bundle ID, I have it correct. I don't have a 'YOUR_IPHONE_APP_STORE_ID' yet, which I believe I need pay Apple to get and I will do it later but not while I'm still working on it.
Now get a couple of questions:
1, Do I have to have YOUR_IPHONE_APP_STORE_ID to skip this Okay_page?
2, Does this (not automatically re-directed back to my app from this Okay_page) have anything to do with that I always get a login status of FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed when I manually click Okay in this Okay_page and return to my app in Simulator? In another word, is (that I have to manually click Okay to get back to my app in Simulator) (the reason I got a status of FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed)?
Did you have set this function in AppDelegate?
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
return [FBSession.activeSession handleOpenURL:url];
}
I had the same issue:
We created the facebook app (developer.facebook.com) setting our
bundle id (ex. com.MyCompany.MyApp)
Off course, created our iOS app with the same bundle id
After delivered our app to the client, he changed the bundle id
without notify us.
Obviously he started to get FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed errors!
So, you probably have different bundle id's between your iOS project and your Facebook App.
I had this error and couldn't resolve it for quite some time. It turns out that if you are using the native iOS Facebook account in settings and choose "no" for allow Facebook for this app, the app is blocked by the OS. You will always get the FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed error and there is nothing you can do inside the code to fix this (99% sure). The best you can do is alert the user to check out the settings.
i am typing wrong line in given below method. self.session was nil
return [self.session handleOpenURL:url];
it should be
return [[FBSession activeSession] handleOpenURL:url];
Use Following Method.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation {
// attempt to extract a token from the url
return [[FBSession activeSession] handleOpenURL:url];
// return [self.session handleOpenURL:url];
}
I fixed this problem after I reset the simulator. iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings..., hope to help.
I had this issue because I was calling [FBSession.activeSession close] in my applicationDidEnterBackground: app delegate callback. This closed the session so that when the redirect brought the app back up to open the session, it failed because it had been put into the closed state.
Make sure that you're not closing the session anywhere before you get to the Okay page.
go to Facebook.com. Open your application on the left panel -> Status & Review -> there is a toggle with text "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?". Turn it on
well. I followed FBLoginCustomUISample somewhere on github.com and it was a working example of facebook login implementation from facebook itself. You can also read my workaround while creating facebook login feature in a iOS app. Here is a link form me:

WatiN driving the IE "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" popup

I'd like to extend my WatiN automated tests to drive a page that guards against the user accidentally leaving the page without saving changes.
The page uses the "beforeunload" technique to seek confirmation from the user:
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function (event) {
if (confirmationRequired) {
return "Sure??";
}
});
My WatIn test is driving the page using IE. I cannot find a way to get WatIn to attach to the popup dialog so I can control it from my test.
All the following have failed (where the hard-coded strings refer to strings that I can see on the popup):
Browser.AttachTo<IE>(Find.ByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer");
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Windows Internet Explorer));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindByTitle("Are you sure you want to leave this page?));
browser.HtmlDialog(Find.FindFirst());
Thanks!
You'll need to create and add the dialog handler.
Example Go to example site, click link, click leave page on confirmation dialog:
IE browser = new IE();
browser.GoTo("http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/onbeforeunload.htm");
WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9 myHandler = new WatiN.Core.DialogHandlers.ReturnDialogHandlerIe9();
browser.AddDialogHandler(myHandler);
browser.Link(Find.ByUrl("http://www.microsoft.com")).ClickNoWait();
myHandler.WaitUntilExists();
myHandler.OKButton.Click();
browser.RemoveDialogHandler(myHandler);
The above is working on WatiN2.1, IE9, Win7. If using IE8 or before, you will likely need to use the ReturnDialogHandler object instead of the Ie9 specific handler
