Login call failing - The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.facebook.sdk error 5.)

I know a few other people have seen the error from time to time and then it disappears, but mine seems to be stuck.

3 days ago i removed my fb app from my fb account. Then when trying to connect again, in the exact same way i have been doing for months, i get an error from the login call

    
    var FBPlugin = window.plugins.facebookConnect;
 
        FBPlugin.login({permissions: ["email","user_likes","friends_likes","publish_actions"], appId: appId}, function(result) {
               console.log(result);
        }); 

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.facebook.sdk error 5.) 

Even though i removed my app from my account when i call

                        FB.initWithAppId(appId,function(result){
                             console.log(result);
                        });

i get returned an object with my appId and a accessToken that doesn't expire until next year??

{"expirationDate":"2013-01-31T21:57:03+0000","appId":"APPID HERE","accessToken":"ACCESS TOKEN HERE"}

Any idea whats going on here?

Thanks in advance,

Nathan

Had the same problem lately. Apparently since the latest facebook update you cannot request publishing permissions when initially logging in the user. Leave out the 'publish_actions' permission and you should be fine. You can request it later when you actually need it the first time. Also, just to be safe, reinstall the app.

Hi,
I have the same problem. However i try to login as an admin. Shouldn't i have permissions anyway on facebook?
