Facebook JavaScript helper with PHP SDK suddenly stopped working - php

Question

I had this code and it was working without any issue. Suddenly this code stopped working. I followed several answers on Stack Overflow and even added a redirect URL in getaccesstoken. Then also I am getting an empty access token. I have updated the PHP SDK to the latest from GitHub.
<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
require_once( 'Facebook/autoload.php' );
$fb = new \Facebook\Facebook([
'app_id' => 'xxxxxx',
'app_secret' => 'xxxxxxxx',
'graph_api_version' => 'v7.0',
]);
$helper = $fb->getJavaScriptHelper();
try {
// $accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken(); // This code is outdated in recent version. we need to give call back url
$accessToken = $helper->getAccessToken('https://xxxxxxx.com/redirect_url.php');
echo '2222';
echo $accessToken;
}
catch(\Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookResponseException $e) {
// When Graph returns an error
echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
catch(\Facebook\Exceptions\FacebookSDKException $e) {
echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
if (! isset($accessToken)) {
echo 'nope, no token.';
exit;
}
Here is the JavaScript part:
<script>
logInWithFacebook = function() {
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
window.location.href = "https://xxxxxx.com/redirect_url.php";
}
else {
}
}, {scope: 'pages_show_list'});
return false;
};
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: 'xxxxxxxx',
cookie: true,
xfbml : true,
version: 'v7.0'
});
};
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {
return;
}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}
(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
}
}
);
</script>
I get this output always:
222 nope, no token.
I want to get the accesstoken to perform some other task.

I had the same problem and resolved it by adding status:true to the FB.Init() options.
