End of support of Facebook Api v2.5 on 12 April 2018

[fabianpiau]

The official latest version 2.0.3.RELEASE is using Facebook API v2.5.

I received a notification from FB saying that the support of their API v2.5 will end soon.

Do you know when there will be a new release of spring-social-facebook? I see version 3.0.0 is not released yet but will use v2.10 if I am not mistaken, at least a newer version.

In my case, I see there is no breaking change until v2.7, but also that one won't be supported after July 2018, then I have a breaking change with v2.8.

Below is a screenshot of some incompatibilities I will have when switching to the latest version, and the newer versions available:

Thanks

This is a huge blocker for many of us I guess. Would be nice to get a statement if a new version will be out before the v2.5 API version is not supported anymore!

Some people says this project is not supported anymore but the version on master is using a newer version of the API, so that's strange.
I would expect more support from the Spring community on an official Spring social module.

+1 . Any update on this? @habuma perhaps?

Solution for those who wants to change used API version in 2.0.3 Release and Facebook API Upgrade Tool says it does not affect them applications:

I've implemented same class as facebook's. Only changed version number on "FacebookTemplate"

[fabianpiau]

Updating only the version without updating the implementation will work but not for a long time I think.
As you can see in my screenshot, there are breaking changes in version 2.8 which will be used by default for old integration beginning of October 2018.
As the version of the FB API used on master is 2.10, it will be nice to release it, maybe it is not ready, maybe the project is not maintained. It will be nice to have an answer in the next months (at least before October...)

From what I can tell, now certain calls in Spring Social Facebook are broken. I am looking for a fix for this change specifically: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version2.6#gapi-change-pages

Ran into it this weekend as well because we are using facebook.userOperations().getUserProfile().

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39890885/error-message-is-12-bio-field-is-deprecated-for-versions-v2-8-and-higher for a workaround.
