"Incorrect signature" from FBVideoUpload request


I'm getting an "Incorrect signature" error when uploading a video through FBConnect (version at https://github.com/zoul/facebook-ios-sdk/). See below.

Any ideas how to debug this?

Is there a working example for uploading a video through FBConnect?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The code:

NSArray *permissions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"publish_stream", @"offline_access",nil];
_facebook.forceOldStyleAuth = TRUE;
[_facebook authorize:APP_ID permissions:permissions delegate:_facebookDelegate];

...

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"dreamall" ofType:@"m4v" inDirectory:@"/"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
FBVideoUpload *upload = [[FBVideoUpload alloc] init];
upload.accessToken = _facebook.accessToken;
upload.apiKey = API_KEY;
upload.appSecret = SECRET;
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                               @"test", @"title",
                               @"upload testing", @"description",
                               nil];
[upload startUploadWithURL:url params:params delegate:self];

The response:

Solution

  • My facebook app was not set to "Desktop" mode. That's why the authentication didn't work. See:

    http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/wiki/DesktopMode

    Unfortunately, they removed this option from Facebook's developer site so it's not possible to get the current version of FBVideoUpload working with a new app.

    I've modified FBVideoUpload to use the new Graph API instead of the old REST API. See below. I'll get in touch with the developer of FBVideoUpload.

    //static NSString *const kAPIURL = @"http://api-video.facebook.com/restserver.php";
    static NSString *const kAPIURL = @"https://graph-video.facebook.com/me/videos";
    
    ...

    [params setObject:@"1.0" forKey:@"v"];
    [params setObject:@"facebook.video.upload" forKey:@"method"];
    [params setObject:[self sessionID] forKey:@"session_key"];
    [params setObject:apiKey forKey:@"api_key"];
    [params setObject:[self signatureForParams:params] forKey:@"sig"];
    [params setObject:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:movieURL] forKey:[movieURL lastPathComponent]];
    [[FBRequest getRequestWithParams:params httpMethod:@"POST" delegate:delegate requestURL:kAPIURL] connect];

    NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:userParams];
    [params setObject:accessToken forKey:@"access_token"];
    [params setObject:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:movieURL] forKey:[movieURL lastPathComponent]];
    [FBRequest getRequestWithParams:params httpMethod:@"POST" delegate:delegate requestURL:kAPIURL];
