Keep same session FBSDKLoginKit, FBSDKShareKit 4.36

Question

i'm using FBSDKLoginKit and FBSDKShareKit for login and after share an FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent.

I've a similar behaviour in android and it works fine.

In swift i'm able to log-in success in Facebook but when i call FBSDKShareDialog.show(from: self, with: content, delegate: nil) to share my FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent from a detail viewcontroller, app SHOWS LOGIN FACEBOOK PAGE AGAIN in browser! I expected that FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent was shared directly without need to login again!

Why this behaviour if FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessTokenIsActive() return true? How to keep same session between different viewcontroller? I read a billion of posts about it bot those solutions doesn't solve my issue

Be carefull that if I type user and password and re-login for second time, the FBSDKShareOpenGraphContent is shared correctly! But is a bad user experience and i want user can login just 1 time!

Please HELP Here is my code:

//APPDELEGATE

      func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
                // Override point for customization after application launch.

                FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
                          return true
            }

            private func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
                // Override point for customization after application launch.
                return FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
            }

            private func application(application: UIApplication, openURL url: URL, sourceApplication: String?, annotation: Any?) -> Bool {
                return FBSDKApplicationDelegate.sharedInstance().application(
                    application,
                    open: url as URL?,
                    sourceApplication: sourceApplication,
                    annotation: annotation)
            }
    func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
            // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
            FBSDKAppEvents.activateApp()
        }

First Login page shown after login button tapped:

Login page again on share button tapped, after first login success

Answer 1

I solved this issue with the following code:

 let shareDialog = FBSDKShareDialog()
 shareDialog.delegate = self
shareDialog.shareContent = content

if (UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL( URL(string: "fbauth2:/")!) ) {
    shareDialog.mode = .native
} else {
    shareDialog.mode = .web
}

shareDialog.show()

previously i used

shareDialog.mode = .auto

but if this isn't able to choose the appropriated things to do or it fails for some reason, it seems that re-instantiates a web browser without keeping the active session.

With modes .native and .web i can handle cases of native application installed or not, keeping active session.
