I'm literally going crazy with the new permission system of Facebook.
I am developing a mobile game and I have the code working with the standard access and I would like to start the process to obtain the authorization to use live data but it seem the whole system is broken.
First on some end points like user_friends the Request button is greyed out, it says I need to complete a successful request and wait up to 24 hours, I made hundreds for months it's still locked.
Strange thing it says app review rejected, but I don't remember ever trying the app review and there is no history of it.
So I thought I would try asking for the more basic permission where the button is working, like email and public_profile and it says I must fix the Play store link before going LIVE because it is not accessible.
To fix the link I need to publish an open beta, why is this a requirement? I don't want to do it.
Strange thing I still have a draft of permission request and I have the choice of uploading an apk there, why is it not possible anymore?
Please help

My code is working properly in dev mode, but I can not get approval to use publish_pages or manage_pages. I keep failing every review.
The problem is that the software is to be ran as a cron job and there's really no user interface. This is for an auction website and we want to post a summary of auctions for the next day in our feed.
For some reason they keep saying:
Your screencast doesn't show how the use of this permission directly improves the user experience in your app. Unfortunately we also weren't able to determine this from testing your app manually
Right now, if I have the app in dev mode the post submits successfully, but only my user account can see them, so I've been having to leave dev mode on, let the app post, and then turn the app live.
This is less than ideal. Is there any 3rd party application that has already been approved I can use to post to our facebook page?
It seems like the magic is making sure to mention "this is a server to server application with no user interface" is all that's required to get your app approved. After doing that, it went through without an issue.
Facebook, a multi billion dollar organisation won't fork out for some live chat agents. Instead I'm stuck in a loop asking for approval, them not reviewing my app properly and giving me a cut/paste response. They say they monitor here, so here's hoping.
Nobody but me will ever use my app. It's a PHP page that posts to our radio station's Facebook page timeline www.facebook.com/BCnowplaying every hour or so, music that's playing on Budgie Collective.
We don't want to spam, this is why the nowplaying page is separate to our normal page.
The app works. All it does is grab a token, store it and post info to the page periodically.
I asked for permission to mention pages. And it was like I divided by zero. I only want this to mention pages of the DJ that compiled the mix that's on air (which is a sanctioned mention, as they have asked for this)... so that when their mix comes on, they are notified.
When I ask for the app to be granted this ability, I get told to show how the public will log in and use the app, and to give sample user accounts. Of course I have explained all this when requesting the permissions. But I keep getting knocked back. Nobody will talk to me directly and every time I re-explain and submit, I have to wait for several days to be given an answer that has nothing to do with how my app works. It's like they aren't even reading the submission.
What can I do next?
Since you're the only one using the application, there is no need to apply for approval. Owners of the application can already use the permission without going through the submission process.
By asking for approval you are basically telling Facebook that you want the public to use the mention feature as well.
So the solution here is to use the app as is and just change the settings to public in Settings > Status
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
Switch to yes.
If this is the wrong place to ask this - I super apologize in advance, I'm at a loss here.
I'm trying to develop a simple Facebook PHP app and I'm having trouble getting publish_actions. Here's how the app will work:
You enter your email address
Periodically, you receive emails like this ("Hey nice person, here's a video we think you might be interested in, click here to share it on your wall")
You click the button, it takes you to the app site, which asks for your publish permissions
You enter a message and share the video to your wall.
My problem: all of that requires publish_actions permissions, but FB won't grant them to me until I can show a working app (I applied for permissions and was denied because "Canvas
Your app isn't loading properly and errors appeared while testing your app").
My question: How do I get access to publish_actions without being able to show a working app (which requires publish_actions)? Can I use PHP to post to my own wall in development mode somehow to test it out?
Again - I apologize for the dumbness of this question, I am a PHP dev who is very new to FB, and I've looked everywhere for answers on this.
Try using the Facebook Graph API Explorer
You will be able to simulate some of the app permissions as if it was production.
Just go and select your app, then select Get User Access Token, finally select all the permissions you want to test.
Use the given token to develop and test things out and when you have a semi finished version, submit it through the app review section, following the Facebook App Review Guidelines
I submitted screenshots, a video of my app working, and step by step description on how to reproduce the publish action.
Hope it helps.
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've been trying to get this to work for a while, but I've apparently missed something.
All I want is to have the latest 3 or so posts from my clients Facebook page to populate and animate in a screensaver that I am building using Flash (AS3).
So far, every time I try to bring anything in, it requires a complete oAuth login and account link, but it's only a one way exchange (read-only, absolutely no writing, posting or even linking, since it's a screensaver) I'm not even sure the client wants pictures or anything.
I am currently trying to use the facebook-actionscript-api, but there isn't an option for the "App Login" type of Authentication that would solve most of my problems.
I'm at wits end and about to have to tell my client it can't be done. At least they'll always have twitter...
I don't think it is possible to get facebook feeds without an accesstoken (even if they are public). So I guess you need to define an app within Facebook and add login stuff to your app so users can give permission to your app for basic access.
