Facebook iPhone App (version 5.0)
Firmware of my iPhone: 5.1.1
Description:
I know, I know. I’m a “one trick pony”.
I’ve found an exceedingly easy way to crash the version 5.0 Facebook iPhone app.
It’s highly unlikely that any regular human being would do this, but I figure that by reporting this it will help better understand the app.
While looking at a post, there’s an option to activate a little pop-up that gives the user to report some a post.
It’s easy to activate this pop-up while returning back to your own feed. If you drag the pop-up back over your own feed, you app will crash when you dismiss the pop-up.
This is easier to show than to describe, so please skip below to attached screenshots.
Repro Steps:
1. Logged into FB account, update to version 5.0 of the iPhone app
2. Launch FB – select any item in your feed
3. Using two fingers and a little bit of dexterity (once you get it down, you’ll get it every time) select the spam reporting arrow in upper right, and the return in upper left
4. With “Report/Mark as Spam” overlaid over your feed, select either “Report/Mark as Spam” or “Cancel”
Result: Easy way to drag the “Report/Mark as Spam” pop-up back out over your feed. Canceling it out crashes the application
Expected: Shouldn’t be able to drag “Report/Mark as Spam” pop-up back out over the feed
P.S. I like the version 5.0 update, but I’d like ability to share posts from the feed. This is feature I use often on the web.
Select a post from your feed, then, while viewing the post, use two fingers and select the spam reporting tool and the return arrow...
It's easy to drag "Report/Mark as Spam" pop-up back over your facebook feed. Once you do, the app will crash.
