Facebook Graph API v2.8 expires April 18th, 2019

ServiceStack Authentication

Receiving alerts for FB API end of life. I see FacebookAuthProvider.cs designates v2.8.

Question: Does FB automatically upgrade to the next or does SS need to create a new release every time FB deprecates a version?

Is there an easier way to upgrade without having to move to the next SS version? This particular project is on an older version 4.5.14 of SS.

        public static string Realm = "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/";

I’ll need to upgrade and test the latest API version.

If you need to support an older version of ServiceStack in many cases you can take and use a local copy of FacebookAuthProvider.cs - which you’re free to do with any ServiceStack code up to the last expiry date of your license.

There might be some internal API changes since v4.5.x, but if there were they’d be very minor.

Ok doesn’t look like any changes are needed except for upgrading the Realm to v3.2 in this commit.

So you should be able to upgrade your OAuth App to v3.2 then you can use the latest v5.5.1 on MyGet or since it’s static you can change it with:

FacebookAuthProvider.Realm = "https://graph.facebook.com/v3.2/";
