Ionic.Auth.login('facebook') not working properly

Hello,

I’ve tried the Ionic.Auth to do a quick facebook login.
I set it up correctly and tried it out.

  • First thing: it does not work in ionic lab, nor in the ionic viewer app, i need to build an APK for the phone each time.
  • Second thing: on the phone, it launches an in-app browser, where I’m not logged in to facebook, instead of using the phone’s Facebook native app, or at least the phone’s default browser where i could already be logged in to Facebook…

So here’s what happen :

  1. I get asked to login to facebook, typing my e-mail and my password
  2. Then I got ask to enter a code from facebook native app code generator
  3. Then once again i get asked to enter my facebook password a second time…
  4. And FINALLY, I can tell my facebook app I agree to give away my public profile and login to the app…

Why on earth is this using an in-app browser? Am I missing something here, am I doing something wrong?

Yes, it’s great, simple and fast to integrate, but…

With this outcome we lose 90% of the benefit and purpose to do a Facebook login…
