phonegap-facebook-plugin conflicts with *Facebook Native App*

Many people have been working with phonegap-facebook-plugin. It was deprecated about about a month ago. So this conflict was hard to spot. This plugin was previously known as com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect

To be clear, many, many people upgrade and then their app worked. It seemed logical that applying the new plugin and maybe (sometimes) the whitelist plugin is all that was needed. But this bug was stubborn. I attributed the failure to a lack of attention by the developer, but i was *WRONG*.

Vatsal is pointing out in this SO post that if a "Facebook Native App" is installed, his app will not work. I take it that "Facebook Native App" means either an app written by Facebook _OR_ another app that also uses facebook-plugin (which also works on Android).

The only work around he has found is to uninstall the offending app.

Respectfully

Maybe I spoke too soon.

This appears to be a long running issue. Search: phonegap-facebook-plugin

See: (it appears to be the same symptons.) Is it regression? or Symtomatic?

Everyone thinks the have same problem as someone else when they read it. If they did, then they would not be saying "i have the same problem" - because the same solution would work.

The truth is you may or may not have the same problem. Please start a new thread. And state:

- What have you tried.
- What did not work as expected.
- What level of experience you have with mobile development. THIS HELPS ALOT.

Also be ready to post your config.xml and index.html. If you have the code on public repository, it would be much better. (like github, source forge, google code, a website.)
