Facebook provider and email? about hybridauth

[mvenghaus]

do you have the additional permission in facebook to get the email address?

I figured it out: for some reason, fb stopped exposing the email field for my and my other colleague who's also an admin of the app. Regular users are using it just fine. Absurd. Sort of wasted 24 hrs but this prompted me to add a feature on my system so we now know/track how many users are logging in with a certain provider or another, some information we were previously blind about, so that's good. You library works perfectly fine. Thanks 🙏

Yes, I do, we are verified, I checked... this has been working for over a year and we did go thru a lot of their privacy reviews to be allowed to retrieve this bloody email.... and yet even on the API explorer it's not giving me back the email, so it seems the issue is on their end. I am opening also a suppot ticket to facebook to ask on their end.

As a side note, I do see here https://github.com/hybridauth/hybridauth/blob/master/src/Provider/Facebook.php#LL56C30-L56C62 that you are calling graph v8 ? They are on v16 and are about to deprecate version 10...

Still, on the api explorer with v16 it tells me my 'field is empty of disallowed by access token' so it must be something with their configuration/permission in the 'app'....

So I think it's not a hybridauth issue as much as a FB api issue, after some debugging last night and this morning... but I am not sure it's related to our account/app. I'll keep investigating and let you know if I figure it out :-)

Update: it appears that the symptom is only related to SOME user accounts. The better error I was able to get is "The email field was not returned. This may be because the email was missing, invalid or hasn't been confirmed.".
i.e. I am not able to login to the site I work on with my facebook account, but my wife is - I don't get the email returned but she does... so it's definitely something they have changed or broken on their with respect to some user accounts... sorry for the randomization, but it might still be useful to know, I guess :-)

You guys keep up the awesome work!
