Problem with Xamarin Social and Facebook Share IOS

Hello,

I'm trying to share a link in IOS

var facebook = new FacebookService {
    ClientId = "FacebookAppId"
};

// 2. Create an item to share
var item = new Item { Text = "text" };
item.Links.Add (new Uri ("http://www.url.com"));


// 3. Present the UI on iOS
var shareController = facebook.GetShareUI (item, result => {
    // result lets you know if the user shared the item or canceled
    DismissViewController (true, null);
});
PresentViewController (shareController, true, null);

I connect my facebook account but when I click the "Send" button I receive:

Share Error
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden

(this app was working some weeks ago, the problem is with 1.0.2 and 1.1 of Xamarin.Social)

Thank you

    I am using Xamarin Forms, and I implemented a custom renderer in order to share a link on FB. I am asked to log in, and I get to the page where I put my link/text. However, when I click Send, I get an:

    The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

    This error used when requests are being denied due to update limits.

    I was getting a 403 using Xamarin.Social when posting to Facebook to a new test App (Create app - create test of that app)
    It seems the permissions returned after authorization were not populated correctly as we were asking for publish_stream scope which AFAIK seems to have been deprecated/broken

    I think the line in FacebookServices.cs should be:

    Scope = "publish_actions"; // was "publish_stream"; if I use public stream then it just defaults to read-only

    This fix seemed to work for me but reading the forums older apps may still support publish_stream

    Hi, we've been in the same situation and here's how we fix it.

    As Steve Keane said, you have to request the "publish_actions" item with myFacebookService.Scope = "publish_actions";
    In order to make it work, you have to log in (in your simulator, just reset the content, and it will ask you again).

    Then, you have to edit your Facebook app in the Facebook dashboard and add the "publish_actions" items to submission in "Status & Review" tab then follow the procedure.
