Facebook mobile applications are navigating newsfeed clicks to apps instead of the link specified in the newsfeed post.
| Steps to Reproduce: | I created a test page here: http://jsbin.com/otasow/2 It allows you to login to a Facebook app, and do a simple share to your newsfeed, which should link back to the current page. |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | Clicking the newsfeed post should take you back to the test page. |
| Actual Behavior: | Clicking the newsfeed post on a mobile device fails, with the following error "“Either this application has not configured its Mobile Web URL or the URL could not be verified as owned by the application”. It seems like the mobile app is trying to navigate the user to the application, and not the link specified in the newsfeed post. |
