Forgive what may be a not-fully-informed question/opinion, but isn't the issue that 3rd parties were able to see private information? Not public information? Like you send the same sequence of bytes that they do, but the difference is that it should be different depending on who is sending the bytes, no?

The app that was written by Apple, or by Blackberry, had to ask you for your password first (or possible use a different kind of authentication were you had to allow access). Without that, they could not send the "right bytes", and thus, the Facebook server would not send back any private information. In other words, it worked exactly like the Facebook app written by Facebook itself.
