[FR] Support Signin with Facebook Gaming Graph login (which is different from regular Facebook login) about firebase-unity-sdk

[chkuang-g]

Internal feature request tracking: b/171089917

[tylerfangfb]

Hey everyone, just want to let you know that I've worked with the team at FireBase to investigate the issue. A fix is expected in coming weeks. Thank you all for your patience and we hope to resolve this long standing issue as soon as we can.

Hi @ferretnt

Firebase currently only support regular Facebook Login but not this separate login for gaming.

I can file a feature request for you. Since this will requires some backend changes, it probably will not be done soon.

Another option is to configure a generic OIDC provider by upgrading to GCIP.
https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/web/oidc
And you can use OAuthProvider to sign-in with Firebase Auth SDK.

var credential = Firebase.Auth.OAuthProvider.GetCredential("oidc.myProvider", idToken, accessToken);
var task = auth.SignInWithCredentialAsync(credential);

They have a different billing structure though since it charges a small amount per MAU.

Still not working here with latest SDKs and nobody seems to care at all.
It's a complete disaster. You can't even add the old "Facebook Login" anymore, because something is bugged in the Facebook interface. When trying to add any package it always says "We couldn't find your developer website URL in your app's store listing", although it's there. Bug reports on Facebook also don't work...
EDIT: Facebook finally fixed their interface, so at least the "Facebook Login" works again with Firebase.

Hi everyone, I'm an engineer from Facebook Login for Gaming. We have landed a fix on our end last week and verified Facebook Login for Gaming now can integrate with our Firebase test App. Could you please help us confirm if the issue has also been resolved for your Apps?

Thank you very much for your patience and help!

Yes, thanks I can confirm is working now.

"A fix is expected in coming weeks" - from Facebook dev a year ago. And more than a year later you fix this issue?

This is such disrespect to developers using Facebook. And to answer your question: because of this issue we never dared create an app as a gaming app. Once we do, we'll let you know.

I updated firebase to the latest version and this problem still exists.
The error is "Remote site 5XX from facebook.com for USER_INFO"

[arkon89games]

me too: Firebase.FirebaseException: The supplied auth credential is malformed or has expired. [ Remote site 5XX from facebook.com for VERIFY_CREDENTIAL ]

I updated firebase to the latest version and this problem still exists. The error is "Remote site 5XX from facebook.com for USER_INFO"

[Ant1m3ta]

This issue happens in Firebase SDK 8.8.0 as well.

Is there any movement in this direction? when can we expect this feature?

[tylerfangfb]

@chkuang-g Dev of Facebook Login for Gaming here. I'd love to help making Facebook Login for Gaming compatible with Firebase. We have developer reported the following exception:

---

The supplied auth credential is malformed or has expired. [ Remote site 5XX from facebook.com for VERIFY_CREDENTIAL ]

All I need to know is how FireBase verifies credential with Facebook. Could you help?

Any news on this FR? There is no official way to move Face Gaming Login to Facebook login, so we not able to use Facebook in our app now.

Thanks

[ferretnt]

I filed a corresponding issue to this one on the Facebook sdk GitHub at the time (?? 12 months ago??) as this issue if that is helpful for info. All our current development is enterprise with azure auth so not able to provide any further information in the short term, sorry.

Hi, I was wondering if you were able to accomplish this. From what I found out, I need to use FB.Mobile.LoginWithTrackingPreference(...) to receive an AuthenticationToken (which I think is what is needed for the idToken parameter of the GetCredential function) but this only works on iOS.

[yanmasharski]

It would be great to have this feature, lot of games use FB & Firebase.

[Whyser]

@chkuang-g can you help @tylerfangfb with the requested information? I can't believe this is not already supported. :/
More and more apps are created as "Gaming" app on Facebook because of their new "categorization"-process when creating new apps.

Any progress regarding about this issue?

Thanks

[nonstappstudio]

Do we have any progress on that? Thanks for the reply :)

[tylerfangfb]

A fix has been deployed by team @ google. Could someone who ran into this issue before try again?

[bombayplayinc]

Hi @tylerfangfb. We tried after the update. Now the error we are seeing is this:

Remote site 5XX from facebook.com for USER_INFO

Do we need to update the Firebase sdk also?

[rainbowcreatures]

After 2 days I discovered the above is why our newly implemented Facebook login over Firebase doesn't work...though I didn't test with Firebase 8.8.0 yet...any updates?

[krenki-fitonomy]

Hi! Is it safe now to use facebook gaming login with firebase? Has the issue been resolved?

[krenki-fitonomy]

@tylerfangfb do you have any update on the issue? Have you managed to resolve it?

[manelinho]

I'm still having the exact same issue. Any updates?

[flaengel]

@paulinon Is there a workaround you could point me to, or at least a timeframe if this will/or will not be implemented by Firebase? Creating another Facebook app, just to be able to use firebase authentication is not viable at this stage.

[manel-graca]

I ended this non-sense and ditched Firebase. It's a lot of work to implement another backend service but I just can't take this anymore. I'm back using Playfab. I don't even know why I decided to use Firebase in my current project tbh.

[Awais6]

The same happens to me! Any timeframe when it will be fixed?

[fmoyano]

Anyone has tried this recently? Is it yet not possible to user Facebook Login for Gaming with Firebase?

[hdemircioglu]

It is still not working. I think this feature needs to be prioritized. Nowadays, Facebook login for gaming is an important aspect of the games.

firebase/flutterfire#4524 (comment)

This worked for me by recreating Facebook Application with type of Consumer.

I have noticed that Facebook Application built for gaming doesn't have public_profile available in their permissions and have gaming_profile instead.
I haven't tried it out, but for those of you that doesn't want to recreate Facebook Application, maybe replacing public_profile permission requirements to gaming_profile may avoid this error.

[Toupoc]

@Sitiyoh does this work? Consumer profile doesnt work with the invitable_friends endpoint and connecting players with thier friends is 100% of the reason we're involving facebook. Are you implying that I may be able to change the user permission to gaming_profile instead of public_profile and that will circumvent the issue?
