Would my Facebook App be subject to an app review? if:
I adjust the age restriction to "Anyone (13+)"
Turn off "References
alcohol"?
I've been having issues with reply comments from my App not being visible and this configuration has been suggested as the issue causing my problem. The only thing raised by the App configuration UI is that all authorisation tokens will be invalidated.
I just want to be sure that this would be the only thing impacting my App users.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I know this is not a strictly code-related question but I wonder if anyone here could help.
As you know FB has updated his policy and app now must undergone a review process.
We were about to send our app for review for Public Content Access but now we are in a dilemma:our "server-to-server" app does not involve a UI and only aims to help our operations team with a small integration to our CRM: checking the presence of our customers (always other companies) in the platform.
The app will store only, if exists, the link to the FB public page of the company.
What kind of privacy policy we need? Do we need one?
Otherwise, are there any facebook contacts for developers looking for help?
Thank you for your time!
I have integrated FAN with success. I can show banners and interstitials in test and not test mode. So, I have sent impressions to facebook but my current state in the integration shows this:
Shouldn't it be at third step? More Oddly my placements show like this:
So, by the status message it seems it has received requests and this is the only requirement I have found for facebook to start placement review.
So, does anybody know if this is how it works? Shouldn't I be at step 3 (Placements review)?
Thanks in advance.
After uploading the app to live Google Play Store, and wait for a week, I finally get the above screen-shot, without doing anything.
That's means, once you see the ads at your side, the only thing you need to do is to upload the app to live Google Play Store. After that, the only thing you need to do is wait.
It seems I discovered why I could not advance in the review process. Today I got this message from facebook:
Thank you for writing into Audience Network.
I’m happy to explain more about the updated review process for apps.
First, make sure your that the newest version of your app is live in the app store.
Then, once your app has been downloaded by a user and an ad request is delivered, the app
will be enqueued for review. Please note that the review process should still only take 1-2
business days and that this request must be from a user that is not registered
as a developer of the app ID on Facebook.
So, it seems that you need to have your app live and be downloaded by a user that is not registered as developer. This seems not good for publishers because if you have an app that is providing good money you won't see a penny during the review period.
Hope this clarifies the process a bit more.
I had EXACTLY the same problem and my game was live in Google Play with 100+ download.
More then 10 days have passed! But my panel still shows: "Enabled for testing and received ad request recently".
Then I contacted to Facebook and the reply is:
Thank you for writing in. My name is Andrea and I would be happy to
help you! There is currently a maintenance issue going on, which
affected the display of the dashboard. The placement is not displaying
as “enabled” in green, even though your app is approved. However, this
should not affect the ad delivery. Please let me know if you have any
other questions. Have a great week!
In addition:
Before releasing your app to the store, it’s highly important that you
test the integration is working properly. When you run your app on the
simulator, test ads will show by default and indicate a successful end
to end ad serving in your app. When testing on a device however, you
must enable test ads by copying the hashed device ID that is printed
to the console and set it in code via a dedicated function.
And, the most important thing is this:
Until your app is reviewed and approved by Facebook, only the admins
and the developers of your app will be served with Facebook Ads.
To conclude,
App needs to be live before anyone can see the adds except developers.
My company's Facebook app has been in operation for a few years, but with the recent API upgrade, Facebook now requires apps to be submitted for approval if you need certain permissions.
This app adds a page tab, which requires the manage_pages permission. Facebook has rejected the app several times, providing the following reason:
We could not reproduce the requested permission. Please submit
detailed, step-by-step English instructions in the "Add Notes" section
of the permission, and make sure to provide the relevant version of
your app.
Things I've done:
provided step-by-step instructions, with supporting screenshots for each step
had multiple people test those steps to ensure the login process and page tab work as expected
read through all of the supporting documentation and submission articles
Unfortunately, Facebook provides no option to contact their reviewers.
Has anyone else hit a wall when submitting a Facebook app for approval? And if so, were you able to figure out the issue or contact the reviewer?
That's unfortunate... I think there have been such cases. If you think everything is correct with your review submission, I'd recommend that you post a message to https://www.facebook.com/groups/fbdevelopers/ There are FB engineers monitoring the group, I guess they could give you some help or contact the right persons.
Good luck!
i'm an indie dev who has been testing their app/game over the past two weeks and published a total of 4 times. it will no longer allow me to change the Canvas and Secure Canvas URL stating that they are not valid, i have been using googledrive
the last time i attempted to test to make sure none of the changes had broken the facebook prompt to post to wall share button it told me the app had been marked and that i could file a report but this may or may not change anything. there is no negative feedback the only thing i've done is delete the test posts after a day or so.
is there a way to get my app or "my" website unmarked as spam? how long does it take them to review it? or would just creating a new test app solve the canvas URL problem?
thanks!
Try putting your app in Sandbox mode. This will not unmark your app as spam, but it will allow you to continue development/testing.
I am getting the following error whilst publishing to Facebook via my iPhone application
Stream stories are restricted for this application.
And I am pretty sure i am not posting any thing to user's wall without notifying him first.Can any suggest what might have caused this issue?
Thank you for your support
This means that your application has lost its ability to publish to the users by Facebook. This is usually due to too many people reporting your application as spam or deleting your posts or revoking your application or other spam measures implemented by Facebook. To appeal to have your app reinstated, contact Facebook. Another option is to create another application but you may run into the same issue if you dont fix the root cause (people viewing your app as spam).
