New Facebook app creation: "Oops - Something went wrong" error - facebook

I need to create this Facebook app to access Graph API - following the usual procedure at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/create/, I start filling in the form (App name, contact email and the optional business account -- which I'm not using atm)
Then I am requested to reenter my password "for my security", and after that I get a "Something went wrong. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can." message, and apparently, regardless how much I try, cannot move past that.
Tried so far: disabled adblock, cleared cache and cookies, switched from Chrome to Safari, tried from a different computer and account: nothing seems to get past this "Something went wrong" error.

Facebook Send Dialog in iframe doesn't seem to work

I am having issues using the Facebook send dialog. If I open this window in a new browser, everything works:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send
?app_id=[My_App_Id]
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback
&link=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimage.jpg
So by doing that, I am able to send a message just fine. However, I need this to be in an iframe, which according to the send dialog documentation, this should work. So I then do this:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send
?app_id=[My_App_Id]
&display=iframe
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback
&link=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimage.jpg
Doing so, I get the following error:
API Error Code: 102
API Error Description: Session key invalid or no longer valid
Error Message: Iframe dialogs must be called with a session key
I find it a little strange that I can do this with a popup, but they require a session key for iframe. But even so, that isn't a problem. Because I have already gotten an access_token. So, this should work then:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send
?app_id=[My_App_Id]
&display=iframe
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback
&link=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fimage.jpg
&access_token=[MY_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN]
The access token was obtained from calling /v12.0/dialog/oauth, and I have confirmed that the access_token is valid:
However, I now get this message:
This Content Isn't Available Right Now
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
So now this really makes no sense. I can send this link just fine if I use a popup with NO access_token present. But to set the display to iframe, I must include the token, which is fine, but it doesn't like the token for some reason?
It is also worth noting that this behaves the same way regardless if the Facebook app is in development mode or live mode. In development mode, all of the permissions should work for my test users. So it seems very unlikely that this is a permissions issue?
Anybody have any insight on this at all?

Facebook Test User error

I use facebook login in my app and have tests for it. I use the /{app-id}/accounts/test-users endpoint to create users for my tests but the endpoint fails with the very generic
{
"error": {
"message": "An unknown error has occurred.",
"type": "OAuthException",
"code": 1
}
}
(which says the API is possibly down). I tried this with 3 different appids/secrets, both with using app_id|app_secret as the token and with a token from the get token endpoint. I also tested this on the Graph Api Explorer and it's giving me the same error. It was working fine but then it suddenly stopped.
What I want to know is 1. is it down? and 2. if not, what did i do wrong or what changed since yesterday?
+1 this also started to me yesterday mid-morning, with code and an FB app which had been working previously and was unchanged.
When I look at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/FB_APP_ID/roles/test-users/, I can see the new users.
So the call is "working" in that new users are being created, but it is broken in that we get a 500 and we don't get an access_token.
I don't have an answer yet.
I ran into a similar problem last week. After long hours of debugging I found out that I would get this same error every time I tried to create multiple test users with the same name simultaneously (i.e. when running tests in multiple threads).
So instead of setting custom a user name I don't even use the name field and I just let Facebook generate one. This way everything works fine. Seriously. I love Facebook API so much. :)
Hope this helps someone.

Policy file error while loading new profile pictures from Facebook

As you might know, for loading images from Facebook in our application (in my case AS3) we have to load following policy file:
Security.loadPolicyFile('https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml');
otherwise we get following error:
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://test cannot access http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/254/15/q652310588_2173.jpg A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
you can find related question here.
I have a Facebook application that is running for long time without problem, but what I am facing today which is bizarre, is that the application gives the same security error message while loading NEW PROFILE PICTURE, and for the profile pictures that have been uploaded about 2-3 weeks ago or earlier, there is no problem.
My question is that did Facebook change its policy? Is it a problem form my side or something is wrong from Facebook? I have googled to see if the Facebook's policy or something else has been changed, but I did not found any clue.
If you go to https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml you will see that it returns an error (403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /36477/crossdomain/pics-crossdomain.xml on this server) so Flash never gets a valid crossdomain file.
This is an issue that Facebook needs to address.
I know of no way to have Flash ignore crossdomain errors.

I can't use "friends locations" with the Graph api explorer anymore

as the title says, I can no longer use friends locations with the graph api explorer any more(in https://developers.facebook.com). Even if I click all access token checkboxes,(trying to get me/friends?fields=locations.fields(place)) I still get error(
{
"error": "Request failed"
}). But me/locations?fields=place works, so it must be someting with "friends" that makes it to crash.
I was able use it 2 weeks ago, and I have not done any changes, it just suddenly stoped working. if I login with my test Account I can get all the parameters I request, but not on my primary account. Is there any one that has any idea what the problem can be? or why it occurred? I have done everything that I can think of, from using diffrent web browers, deleting all history, use diffrent computer. I have compared the settings for both my test account and my main account, both have the same settings.
I am sincerely sorry if i have misspelled anything.
It happens for me as well for any of the locations methods, but the location method with out the s works. I don't know if that data is usable for you.
me/friends?fields=location,hometown
I have figured out the reason to this problem. I has to do with requests from facebook's api, if i lower the Limit per request it works. Then to save the information I use offset.

Unknown OAuthException from basic OpenGraph user API calls

Starting around Friday night, and continuing as of this morning, we have been seeing errors for simple open graph queries for valid users.
For example: https://graph.facebook.com/833150354
Returns:
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "An unknown error has occurred."
}
}
But, the user is valid:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=833150354
It looks like at least one other person has run into this: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=20490
Has anyone else seen this behavior and, if so, found a work around? Thanks!
Experienced the same error with 2 of our app's users today. Their OG representation throws the error, but their regular FB profile works fine. Sounds like an OpenGraph bug, not sure of any possible workaround :\
Sometime between 7:50 and 8:50 PM EST on 9/13, this problem went away for us. All the other cases I've seen shared also appear to work now.
Love that Facebook never acknowledged the issue in any way I could find even though it was broken for 5 days.
I get the "unknown error" all the time, when I query the graph using the application's token. When I have the current user's token, that works. But the application token fails.
(The app's token worked before the oauth upgrade, BTW.)
