Description

Test case:

login into Facebook using your Titanium's app

kill it from Dock

try to open app with Facebook user-to-user request URL from your notifications section in Facebook or newsfeed story. It should be something like fb116843021780929://authorize?...

"FBSession: should only be used from a single thread" red screen appears

XCode console on a device says:

Sep 10 12:40:08 iPhone Printpie[31305] <Warning>: *** Assertion failure in -[FBSession handleOpenURL:], /Volumes/Datums/CodeValhalla/Github/Mine/titanium_modules/facebook/mobile/ios/Classes/FBConnect/FBSession.m:426
Sep 10 12:40:08 iPhone Printpie[31305] <Warning>: [ERROR] Script Error FBSession: should only be used from a single thread

Test application code is simple as a child's tear:

var fb = require('facebook');
fb.appid = '116843021780929';

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();

var loginButton = Ti.UI.createButton({
    title: 'Login'
});
loginButton.addEventListener('click', function(){fb.authorize();});
win.add(loginButton);

win.open();

Don't forget to add into your Info.plist next string for Facebook URL chema support:

	<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
			<string>com.printpie.cleverbug</string>
			<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
			<array>
				<string>printpie</string>
				<string>fb116843021780929</string>
			</array>
		</dict>
	</array>

So:

run the app

click "Login" button

login into your Fb account

you will be bring back to the app

close simulator

open simulator stand-alone, without titanium

try next URL (it's similar as from Facebook native app or Safari's web-version of FB):

fb116843021780929://authorize?expires_in=3600&access_token=qkjKR42UQsewYckYagPhU2Avo4eLruAKH41Vd1u192UORNvhzGftEUi7sOK375opZCKzpK1ZCAyxkBH5je3BUG3E8Shp6mI8VmdXWU2dxrOe4oB7BoDPSAZDZD&target_url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fapps%2Fcleverbug-printpie%3Ffb_source%3Dnotification%26request_ids%3D511072445602499%26ref%3Dnotif%26app_request_type%3Duser_to_user

you will see "FBSession: should only be used from a single thread"

I saw many similar questions on Q&A section with no answers :( P.S. sorry, no time to make a bundle with test application, but I hope I explained it above.

Probably I know why it happens: old Ti.Facebook module still in SDK, and not requires initialization (with "require(..") right? Maybe that is a first thread which is capturing and handle openURL param.

This should not happen with Ti.Facebook 5.0.0 and later (e.g. 5.2.3 currently). Resolving for now, please leave your comments if you still see it.
