    Installed users showing up as not having the app installed

    Hello,

    When we do an OpenSocial Request for a user's friends, many users show up with hasAppInstalled=false when they do in fact have the application installed.

    A specific example:
    Our application id is 110096. Getting the first page of users (http://api.msappspace.com/api-v2.svc/json/people/@me/@friends?startIndex=1&count=50&filterBy=all) reports that user 9525754 doesn't have the application installed ("hasAppInstalled":false). But they actually do have the app installed (it even appears on their profile). We also have access to their data through the REST API. Its just this @friends request that is returning buggy data.

    We'll be happy to provide more examples to help with this issue.

    Thanks!

    I see this issue too but this is quiet old (at least several months) and users learnt somehow to live with it (sort of), myspace just seems not capable to fix it.

    Ya this is one of those things that really isn't working 100% in any app. There were times when it didn't work at all so now it even working partially is something to be happy about. Run friend ids against your database seems to be the most accurate way of retrieving all friends of a user though depending on the amount of installs this could kill a server in minutes depending on how you query.
