ios Facebook SDK v4.x access token null despite being logged in via FBSDKLoginButton

Question

My facebook access token is null despite the fact that the button shows that I\'m logged in. Anyone know why this would be?

From RootViewController.m

Answer 1

I have had an issue where I could not get the Access Token because I am calling it before return [[FBSDKApplicationDelegate sharedInstance] application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];. I needed to check the access token to check whether the user is logged in or not to decide which should be my root view controller. What I did was I tried to get the access token from the cache manually in application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions by:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    FBSDKProfile *cachedProfile = [FBSDKProfile fetchCachedProfile];
    [FBSDKProfile setCurrentProfile:cachedProfile];

    FBSDKAccessToken *cachedToken = [[FBSDKSettings accessTokenCache] fetchAccessToken];
    NSLog(@"Cached Token: %@", cachedToken.tokenString);

    if (cachedToken) {
        //User is logged in, do logic here.
    }

    return [[FBSDKApplicationDelegate sharedInstance] application:application
                                didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}

You can see this method by checking the implementation of - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions in FBSDKApplicationDelegate.m

UPDATE

This does not seem to work anymore. I'm not sure why. But it seems that the fetchCachedProfile and accessTokenCache methods have been made internal. I could not access these methods anymore in my code as it gives me an error.
