Facebook chat - X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM authentication

Question

Hi guys,

I want to build an XMPP client on android, I've got it running perfect with authentication using Digest-MD-5, however when I try to convert it to X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM it keeps failing. Could someone tell me why? I've attached the source code. I know it's something really small but I can't seem to figure it out.

The source can be downloaded from. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

<auth mechanism="X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl"></auth>

    <failure xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl"><not-authorized/></failure>

That's the response I get :(

I use the API_KEY, Application Secret, and the session key..to generate the response...

It's all in the code. I can tell you what classes are important.

Answer 2

What I didn't know was that X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM doesn't support the authentication and it requires the session key from the old rest API. Once I used the session key it worked perfectly.

Answer 3

The answer to this is that it uses the session_key and not the authentication token. That's why it kept failing.
