I am currently using the Xamarin.Social component in xamarin forms and when I try to post to Facebook, it gives me an error stating: Share Error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden", anyone know why I am getting this error and how to fix it? Also twitter posting works perfectly fine, so its just Facebook.
Thank You
some Troubleshooting for your issue:
You probably already have your ClientID correctly set up. Check it
again on https://developers.facebook.com/apps
It took me a while to figure out what to enter as for the
RedirectURL. At the moment i am using
https://apps.facebook.com/yourappname/. If this is not working for you, go to your App on Facebook Developers Page > Settings > Add Platform > Facebook Canvas > And enter this url as for the "Canvas Page". Authentication should work fine now, and the 403 error should no longer occur.
My working example, for creating the Facebook service:
public static FacebookService Facebook
{
get
{
if (mFacebook == null)
{
mFacebook = new FacebookService() {
ClientId = "<Your App ID from https://developers.facebook.com/apps>",
RedirectUrl = new Uri ("https://apps.facebook.com/yourappname/")
};
}
return mFacebook;
}
}
For which Platform are you developing?
The rest of the share process is just like in the Xamarin.Social IOS Unified sample.
Don‘t hesitate to ask for clarification.

working on a .NET MAUI app and am trying to implement Firebase Authentication with the help of WebAuthenticator in MAUI. I get to the login form in a browser, but after logging in get the error
Unable to process request due to missing initial state. This may happen if browser sessionStorage is inaccessible or accidentally cleared.
This is the code that calls the authenticator
await client.SignInWithRedirectAsync(FirebaseProviderType.Google, async uri =>
{
var options = new WebAuthenticatorOptions
{
Url = new Uri(uri),
CallbackUrl = new Uri("com.companyname.myappname://callback/"),
PrefersEphemeralWebBrowserSession= true
};
var res = await WebAuthenticator.Default.AuthenticateAsync(options);
});
I think the problem could be the callback URL, but I'm not sure how to write it differently since I'm not using a backend API. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
P.S. This happens with bost Firebase Google auth and Facebook login
You can try to clear the chrome browser data and reload the page to see if it works. This is a known problem of firebase. You can continue to follow up this github iissue: Unableto process request due to missing initial state.
I am trying to set up Strava authentication (which is plain oAuth2) in Asp.Net Core Blazor App.
I am rather new to Blazor & Web dev (more of a backend background), and I don't seem to find out how to troubleshoot the reason why the Authentication does not work.
When I click the oAuth login button on the Login page in the (default) Blazor Server App, I get redirected to the correct oAuth login screen (of Strava in my case), but after I successfully enter the credentials for that App, the login page shows an error Error loading external login information.
While I would obviously appreciate any help or tips that could point out what is wrong in my code, I'm mostly searching for a way to get better error information and troubleshooting capabilities here. Setting a breakpoint in the EventHandler delegates does not show much.
This is the Startup.cs extract where I have configured the authentication setup :
services.AddAuthentication().AddOAuth("Strava",
oAuthOptions =>
{
oAuthOptions.ClientId = "myappid";
oAuthOptions.ClientSecret = "myclientsecret";
oAuthOptions.Scope.Clear();
oAuthOptions.Scope.Add("read");
oAuthOptions.CallbackPath = "/profile";
oAuthOptions.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize";
oAuthOptions.TokenEndpoint = "https://www.strava.com/api/v3/oauth/token";
oAuthOptions.SignInScheme = IdentityConstants.ExternalScheme;
oAuthOptions.Events = new OAuthEvents()
{
OnRemoteFailure = loginFailureHandler =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Remote Error");
Console.WriteLine(loginFailureHandler.Failure.Message);
return Task.FromResult(0);
},
OnAccessDenied = handler =>
{
Console.WriteLine(handler.Response.StatusCode);
return Task.FromResult(0);
}
};
});
An update that made things work for me, so maybe it can help other people.
I performed the following actions, in order to gain more control on the entire authentication process.
I scaffolded two pages, in which I then could debug & step through (and obviously also update and change things). More information was found in this post:
Account.Login, which enables the customization of the actual login page dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -dc CotacolApp.Data.ApplicationDbContext --files "Account.Login"
Account.ExternalLogin, which enables the customization of the actual strava page dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity -dc CotacolApp.Data.ApplicationDbContext --files "Account.ExternalLogin"
I then found out that the var info = await _signInManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync(); always resulted in a null value. And that was because I had to set the IdentityScheme to external. ```
And after that, I had to run some custom logic to do the claim mapping. Most of those details were written down in this stackoverflow post by #Morgeh.
Hope this can help people in the future.
I'm actually working on displaying my company updates as a feed on my website.
I've created an App on LinkedIn and I'm able to get my security token and list info related to my profile by using the : "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/ME".
However, when I'm trying to retrieve my company updates using a GET call on : "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/".$company_id."/updates". I'm getting a :
"Member does not have permission to get company." in the HTTP response message.
Configuration set :
I'm correctly listed as Admin on my company's page
"rw_company_admin" is enabled on my LinkedIn App
My App status is set to "Live"
My company ID is the correct one (I've double checked already)
My token is properly issued and I'm correctly identified by the app
Here is the code I'm using in the PHP method to get the updates :
public function getCompanyUpdates($company_id, $start=0,$count = 20){
if(!$company_id)return false;
$params['url'] = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/companies/".$company_id."/updates";
$params['method']='get';
$params['args']['format']='json';
if($start != 0 )$params['args']['start']=$start;
if($count != 0 )$params['args']['count']=$count;
$params['args']['event-type']='status-update';
$result = $this->makeRequest($params);
return json_decode($result,true);
}
I'm probably missing a step somewhere, but I've no idea where..
In advance, thanks a lot for your help!!
I fixed the error some weeks ago, but forgot to post the answer that fixes the issue.
My errors :
- At first, I forgot to pass the scope while requesting the Token
- After fixing this, I forgot to re-issue a new Token to get the scope applied
To conclude, it was just an oversight from me.
However, the LinkedIn API is a bit shitty, as it requires to refresh the Token periodically. It should be simplified when we only want to list Public updates that everyone can access.
Cheers
I'm developing an auto-hosted asp.net app for Sharepoint 2013. I have to use the SPAppWebUrl token value for my requests. So I tried this :
AppManifest.xml : <StartPage>~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Index.aspx?{StandardTokens}</StartPage>
javascript :
var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));
C# code-behind : Application["SPAppWebUrl"] = Request.QueryString["SPAppWebUrl"];
Nothing worked. Sharepoint sends values for SPHostUrl, SPLanguage, SPClientTag and SPProductNumber only. I read topics about tokens and noted this :
If there is no app web, the portion &SPAppWebUrl={AppWebUrl} is not present.
But I dont understand how I could not have an app web...
If anybody can help please. Thanks.
I had a similar problem when I was using Provider Hosted. The App Web for me wasn't coming over because I tried to use a certificate that would not work (wild card). Went through the certificate setup a second time using a self-signed certificate - then setup a dummy list and when I looked at:
string spAppUrl = Request["SPAppWebUrl"];
I'm getting back the proper value. I then use the URL to get your App web via:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity currentUser = Request.LogonUserIdentity;
using (var appContext = TokenHelper.GetS2SClientContextWithWindowsIdentity(appUri, currentUser))
{
if (appContext != null)
{
Web appWeb = appContext.Web;
appContext.Load(appWeb, w => w.Title);
appContext.ExecuteQuery();
string title = appWeb.Title;
ViewBag.SiteTitle = title;
}
}
Had exactly the same issue. The following blog post tells you how to resolve it:
SP Rest Services with Provider hosted app
Basically, since a provider-hosted app doesn't have and app web, you have to tell sharepoint to create it. You do this by adding a dummy object (site column, list, etc) to your SharePoint project. It will then create the app web and add SPAppWebUrl to the standard tokens (in the app manifest).
I am using Twitterizer API for accessing twitter related functionality. I have one demo application that works fine with my consumerkey and consumersecret i run this application locally. but when i integrate the same settings in my live application i got this error
Value cannot be null.Parameter name: String
Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks
Please check you keys. Also check your server time. Sometimes timestamp that we generate give some issues.
Without a stacktrace or more details, there is absolutely no way I could give you an absolutely accurate answer.
My best guess is that your request is failing, possibly because of DNS, lack of .NET permissions, or misconfigured proxy settings on the server and you're not checking if the ResponseObject is null before trying to use it.
To check for failed requests at runtime (so you can display a nice error without an ugly try/catch), check the Result property of the TwitterResponse<T> you got back from the library.
For example,
OAuthTokens tokens = new OAuthTokens();
tokens.AccessToken = "XXX";
tokens.AccessTokenSecret = "XXX";
tokens.ConsumerKey = "XXX";
tokens.ConsumerSecret = "XXX";
TwitterResponse<TwitterStatus> tweetResponse = TwitterStatus.Update(tokens, "Hello, #Twitterizer");
if (tweetResponse.Result == RequestResult.Success)
{
// Tweet posted successfully!
}
else
{
// Something bad happened
}
That code is lifted directly from my homepage.
