Maintain Facebook auth session for mobile app

Question

I am a newbie in mobile app development, and am working on my first iOS app. The concern I have when I integrate FBSDK for authentication is after a while, the token will expire, and the app can no longer perform Facebook actions. What would be the best course of action to handle such case?

I can always make an attempt to login again, but apps such as Facebook app never asks me to login unless I deliberately log out before that.

The SDKs usually see to it that you get fresh access tokens in the background, when the user is actively using your app. — CBroe, Oct 08 '15 at 16:40

So unless you are experiencing specific problems with access tokens expiring, there should be no need to implement anything special in that regard.
