I've not proven this yet, but I know that the error screen seen by the users is rendered by the wp_die() command. I'm wondering if some sort of issue is being caused by using that wp version instead of just a die() or exit();

I'll give that a shot on my site and have the users try again. WIll report back here tonight if it works.

For reference, this is the line I'm speaking of:

It may just be other browsers, other than Safari. I have a few users who are using Safari Mobile and it's working...will investigate that as well. So maybe it's Chrome for iOS that's the issue.

I've found the same problem. It happens when I sent site url to friends via Facebook message, and they opened in iOS with Facebook App's browser (internal browser / not Safari).

Yep me as well. Also though, that wp_die() mentioned above should be switched for exit() or die(), wp_die actually causes a redirect and the and the $access_token is being lost.

I don't know a solution to the webview of Facebook app, this is caused by their webview not being smart enough to take care of the window.open() and redirect correctly. I'm telling my users to click on the 'open' button in the bottom right, and open in safari until a fix can be found.

Thank you so much :)

@cklosowski its because due to limitations window.opener is undefined in some mobile browsers.

I fixed it detecting mobile devices and not opening a popup when there is a mobile device, I have implemented the solution for Facebook & Twitter only. I haven't implemented for other providers. If you want I can share my solution.
