Sorry, I haven't been here in a while and didn't realize they have an app store app forum...
So if any mod reads this could you please move it? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just thought I would share this here. My facebook for iPhone app would always crash and act strange, and it would take forever to sync. After digging around abit in SSH, I found that the facebook app stores a cache of every image you look at, and never clears it... So I have over 40mb of "cache" just sitting in the app folder. What I did fixed my facebook app so if anyone else is having problems I would try this:

Start an SCP session and navigate to your facebook's app folder.
(I'm not sure if this differs from iPhone/iPod to iPhone/iPod but mine was here: /private/var/mobile/Applications/4D4487B0-3BF6-4772-ACCC-BBEC1941FA32/. It for sure will be in /private/var/mobile/Applications/)
Navigate to the "documents" directory, and delete the *.db file in that directory. Then delete all the files in the "cache" and "imgcache" directories. You're done! Facebook should work now.

For lazy/command line savvy people:
Start an SSH session.
If the first command doesn't work you need to find your facebook app's folder yourself.

cd /private/var/mobile/Applications/4D4487B0-3BF6-4772-ACCC-BBEC1941FA32/Documents
rm ./*.db
rm ./cache/*
rm ./imgcache/*

If this doesn't work for anyone sorry, it seems to work great for me!

i would sometimes get random crashes/lockups in the facebook app and other times it would be rather quick. i could never pinpoint as to why, maybe this had something to do with it.

Hmmm, sorry guys. It appears that this fixes the crashing problems but not the strange error where everything goes white .

At least this will speed up your syncing. I'll do some more digging to see if there's anything I can do about the no content errors.
