Facebook profile url returned in OneAll identity seems to be broken.
Hi guys!
We've implemented social login and now we need to gather additional info from user.
We got facebook profile user id without any problem, but in profileUrl we receiving link like this: https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/yxnpzadpbwey2nuxrmet0bed6d000amtwakzaxza2dmnmq5odhhsnu5r1luv0npbjzakwndjcufpsnvlzaew
instead of user profile url.
Same link is passed in "urls" object.
Can you help me to find out what's going wrong here?

Hi Steve,
his is a recent bug of the Facebook API. The link should redirect to the user's profile, but instead an error page is displayed. Facebook is currently working on this issue.
We unfortunately cannot do anything but need to wait until Facebook has fixed it.Regards,

Hi Claude,
It looks like Facebook no longer supports retrieving the URL with app_scoped_user_id anymore: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49958029/getting-facebook-page-with-app-scoped-user-id-is-not-possible-anymore
It doesn't look like Facebook allows it anymore, but let us know if you find another way to retrieve the user's profile URL.
Looks like facebook is moving the user_link out of the basic group, requiring review of the app. Are others finding this to be true?
