Limited Login for Unity
Updated:Mar 16, 2026
Along with v9.0 of the iOS SDK, the Unity SDK has been updated to enable iOS developers to offer Limited Login
to their users. In summary, this update adds an Authentication Token for use to verify a user’s identity on login, with other Graph API features available using the classic Facebook Login product.

Implementing Limited Login
To use Limited Login with the Unity SDK, use the
LoginWithTrackingPreference
function to specify that the LoginTracking
preference is LIMITED
for a given login request. Additionally, developers can include an optional nonce
meant to verify the response from the Unity SDK. For more information on validating the OIDC token, see Validating the Limited Login OIDC Token
. FB.Mobile.LoginWithTrackingPreference(LoginTracking.LIMITED, scopes, "nonce123", this.HandleResult);
Retrieving Profile Data
After completing the Login Flow for Limited Login or classic Facebook Login, developers can now retrieve an
AuthenticationToken
from the Unity SDK. To retrieve the user’s basic profile information, developers can request the Profile
object using the CurrentProfile
function - which reads the associated AuthenticationToken
. private void GetProfileInfo()
{
var profile = FB.Mobile.CurrentProfile();
if(profile != null) {
this.userName = profile.Name;
this.userId = profile.UserID
this.userEmail = profile.Email;
this.profileImageUrl = profile.ImageURL;
this.userBirthday = profile.Birthday;
this.userAgeRange = profile.AgeRange;
this.userFriendIDs = profile.FriendIDs;
this.userGender = profile.Gender;
this.userLink = profile.LinkURL;
this.userHometown = profile.Hometown;
this.userLocation = profile.Location;
}
}
Be aware that Limited Login and the “Profile” class are currently only available for the iOS SDK and aren’t available for other platforms at this time.
