Status:Behaves correctly Resolved:Yes
Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:6.0
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Yes
 
Summary: ACAccountStore's method requestAccessToAccountsWithType:options:completion doesn't work in the iOS 6 simulator, and the completion method is never called. No error is thrown either.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Initialize an ACAccountStore and an ACAccount for Facebook.

2) Use code similar to below.

ACAccountType *fbAccountType = [self.accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];
NSDictionary *options = @{
    ACFacebookAppIdKey: @"1234567890",
    ACFacebookPermissionGroupKey: @"write",
    ACFacebookPermissionsKey: @[@"publish_stream"]};
[self.accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:fbAccountType
                                           options:options
                                        completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *e) {
                                            NSLog(@"Completed!");
                                        }];

Expected Results:

Window appears that asks the user to authenticate with an account and the completion method is called.

Actual Results:

No window appears and the completion method is not called.

Comments

NDA

This shouldn't be on Open Radar because the product in question was under NDA.

There remains issues with this (http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=2967401) but you should also note that ACFacebookPermissionGroupKey and ACFacebookAppVersionKey are now obsolete. See https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#releasenotes/General/RN-iOSSDK-6_0/
