Login Activity Indicator

We noticed this, too. Our interim solution was just to run the the network activity indicator during the entire login process, but that's not a great user experience either.

If you want to get fancy, you might be able to grab that login dialog's webview delegate and observe the requests as they go by, indicating network activity as appropriate.

Because this is all being handled in the webview, the spinner would ideally be handled by the web content itself.

Thanks jparise for the reply. Yes, the best way is handled by the web content. I will file a task on our side to see if we can add that.

Also you need to add
[self bringSubviewToFront:_spinner];

after

[self addSubview:_spinner];

or else the spinner wont show.

FBDialog.m is missing a webView delegate and the activity indicator should be gray, not white:

• (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
  [_spinner startAnimating];
  }

Note: there's a pull request for a fix in issue #93

On slow connections this is really noticeable. Would be nice to have this usability issue resolved.

We'd really like this fixed too. Whenever we do app usability tests, this problem is always highlighted; pretty much every user will hit the login button, see that nothing seems to have changed and so hit the login button again, still see no change and then look up looking confused.

It would be greatly appreciated if Facebook could fix this issue asap

This issue was raised against a previous version of the Facebook SDK for iOS.

In 2012, the SDK had a significant rewrite and relaunch, and we are closing issues and pull requests that predate that v3.0 release.

If you are still experiencing this issue, please raise a new issue with repro steps in the supported SDK (currently v3.10). For more information, please see our iOS developer center at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/

Many thanks for using the Facebook Platform, and your support of this project.
