Thanks for getting back to me. :)
Yeah that sucks, those were my findings as well, was hoping someone had found some unique solution. I found one solution but it's a horrible UI experience (e.g. open a web view in an app, login the user, scrape the birthdays from their FB. Technically it's not super tricky but the steps for the user just scream 'scammy', so I'm not pursuing that.)
How's the contact list experience been like? I personally only have names & phone numbers there, an occasional email address but that's it. Do many of your users have birthdays listed in their contacts, too? I personally can't imagine filling in the birthday myself when creating a contact, wondering what the typical user does.
I actually found your app some months ago while doing research on how to make it work and was wondering what your trick was. But it seems it was just built using the old API!
- idoh 12y agoThat's an interesting approach. We probably won't do it for the same reason that you won't. The contact list experience has not been really great for us. We are going to press on, I think we have a 50-50 chance of making it. I feel like the world needs a good way to send birthday cards to friends, someone is going to figure it out and we have a good shot at it. We were on the old API for as long as possible. We made the switch a little ahead of schedule. So far it is going OK. What app are you working on? Feel free to hit me up, my email is in my profile.
