Facebook iOS SDK login native and UIWebView login

Question

For an app I'm working on I need the users to be able to login to Facebook using the native SDK, but there is also a separate part of the app using an FB comments widget in a webview. The problem is after the user logs in using native SDK they are not logged in within the webview comments widget. Is there a way to have the user login using the native iOS SDK and then also log them into Facebook in a UIWebView. I tried using openAccessTokenFromData:completionHandler: in the FBSession class after the user signed in but couldn't get that to work, like below

- (void)didLogin
{
    FBAccessTokenData *data = [FBAccessTokenData createTokenFromString:[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.accessToken
                                                       permissions:[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.permissions
                                                    expirationDate:[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.expirationDate
                                                         loginType:FBSessionLoginTypeWebView
                                                       refreshDate:nil];

    [[FBSession activeSession] closeAndClearTokenInformation];

    FBSession *session = [[FBSession alloc] init];

    [session openFromAccessTokenData:data
               completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {
               }];
}

I used following code to open Facebook iOs SDK login in Webview in my native app and its works fine for me.

-(void)openFacebookAuthentication
{
    NSArray *permission = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:kFBEmailPermission,kFBUserPhotosPermission, nil];

    FBSession *session = [[FBSession alloc] initWithPermissions:permission];

    [FBSession setActiveSession: [[FBSession alloc] initWithPermissions:permission] ];

    [[FBSession activeSession] openWithBehavior:FBSessionLoginBehaviorForcingWebView completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error) {

        switch (status) {
            case FBSessionStateOpen:
                [self getMyData];
                break;
            case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed: {
                // prefer to keep decls near to their use
                // unpack the error code and reason in order to compute cancel bool
                NSString *errorCode = [[error userInfo] objectForKey:FBErrorLoginFailedOriginalErrorCode];
                NSString *errorReason = [[error userInfo] objectForKey:FBErrorLoginFailedReason];
                BOOL userDidCancel = !errorCode && (!errorReason || [errorReason isEqualToString:FBErrorLoginFailedReasonInlineCancelledValue]);


                if(error.code == 2 && ![errorReason isEqualToString:@"com.facebook.sdk:UserLoginCancelled"]) {
                    UIAlertView *errorMessage = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:kFBAlertTitle
                                                                           message:kFBAuthenticationErrorMessage
                                                                           delegate:nil
                                                                           cancelButtonTitle:kOk
                                                                           otherButtonTitles:nil];
                    [errorMessage performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(show) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
                    errorMessage = nil;
                    }
                }
                break;
                // presently extension, log-out and invalidation are being implemented in the Facebook class
            default:
                break; // so we do nothing in response to those state transitions
        }
    }];
    permission = nil;
}

Create facebook Appid Facebook Appid creating link Creating time follow facebook guide lines you must give bundile identfier in register time

Then Use this Code

@interface LoginViewController : UIViewController<UIWebViewDelegate>
@property(nonatomic,retain)UIWebView *webview;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *accessToken;
@property(nonatomic,retain)UIActivityIndicatorView  *FbActive;
@end
@interface LoginViewController ()

@end

@implementation LoginViewController
@synthesize accessToken,webview,FbActive;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

   //Removeing the UIWebview Cookies 
    NSHTTPCookie *cookie;
    NSHTTPCookieStorage *storage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
    for (cookie in [storage cookies]) {
        [storage deleteCookie:cookie];
    }
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];


}
