I'm using the fboauth to serve both mobile and web for login throw facebook, what i faced is when users click on link to facebook throw the web 3/10 success and 7/10 get the message "An error occured. Please try again later.", for the mobile i made a web service that take the token from the facebook api and pass it to fboauth_action_connect function and it's worked 10/10, so i think the problem in the web part, and i think the problem in getting the token for the users from the facebook, but i don't know what to do, please help the site is online and users send a lot of complaining emails.

I recently encountered a user that had this same problem, but only for one of their two Facebook accounts. At this point, it seems to be exclusive to this users account. I'm sure there are other users out there experiencing the same thing, but at this point I have no ability to reproduce the problem or have any idea what the cause is. It does seem to be tied to particular users, so I'm guessing there's something they have configured in their Facebook account that we're not handing properly. If you have any idea on how to reproduce this problem I'll happily take a look into it, but right now I don't have enough information to reproduce and fix the problem.

Lost the reference link now, but for me the fix was to take the app out of sandbox mode. The link I mention stated that FB put the app into sandbox for not having a privacy policy (no notifications sent).

The reason it may appear to work is that the tester is usually also a developer of the app, so won't be affected by sandbox mode.

I've had this problem when the redirect_uri in the connect link and the Site URL in the FB App doesn't match.

Eg: http://domain.com vs. http://www.domain.com

To fix this, set your $base_url in settings.php to the same value as your Site URL in the FB App.

Hope this helps.
