Facebook login stuck at 'signing in' on Android

[ritazagoni]

I use Andriod 4.1.2. I try to login to Facebook chat with [email protected] using the Jabber/XMPP login. The login process gets stuck at 'Signing in'.

Unfortunately, Facebook has recently disabled access to their servers through the open XMPP protocol. We are hoping to move to their new API, but we are not yet sure if it is possible. :(

That's exactly what I was afraid of. Was there any official communication about this from Facebook? Or unofficial...? I read about their response about Crypter stating that they didn't change anything http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/facebook-puts-an-end-to-message-encryption-app-crypter/. And all at once Chatsecure and Jitsi Facebook connection don't work either. Thanks!

Yes they did here quite awhile ago: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat

We just didn't believe they would actually follow through, since their April 30th, 2015 deadline passed and it was still working.

@n8fr8 Hi, i was looking around and found this nodejs repo facebook-chat-api. This repo makes it possible to connect to facebook without using the deprecated chat api. Maybe this will be of some help.
