    Question Random Facebook question: Friend missing on iphone facebook app only!

    Hi guys & Gals,

    Completely random question here: I can't seem to see one of my friends from my iphone facebook app. He appears just fine when I log into the site (even when I log into the site from my phone), but from the app he's just not there!!

    Is this a setting he's got changed, or is it something wrong with my app or his profile??!! Any ideas?

    It might well be the app.

    One of my pet hates in technology is when someone says about a product "oh but XYZ use it" as thou that is a good thing.

    Most of facebook is utter crap, technically speaking, poorly implemented, security flawed utter jizz.

    It turns out he found a vuln that is only on a certain 'class' of app (I can't say what obviously). The takeaway was that facebook don't even have a consistant internal API, they end up rolling the same thing again and again for each endpoint.
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    Yeah, looks like I have at least 2 friends who i can see on the website, but nit in the app. both named Tom - coincidence??!!

    The most frustrating thing is that there isn't a proper Facebook tech support or even forum to get help. I've 'reported' it on the site, but I'm pretty sure they don't do anything with those reports!!
