Through the graph API, I found that the interface can return data correctly.The app review takes 5 working days, and a lot of materials need to be submitted, and the project needs to have a lot of settings.

I am currently attempting to retrieve the news feed from my Facebook home feed to include into an app. I know this used to be able to be done with the API however I have heard that it has since been removed. Is there any other way that you know of that would work or has it been added back into the API? It doesn't make sense why they would remove it.
No, there is no way to get a user’s feed via API. That used to be possible in the very early days (API v1), but has long since been removed.
It doesn't make sense why they would remove it.
Apart from user privacy (I don’t want my posts getting analyzed by some shady app with a developer located in $godKnowsWhere, just because they appeared on the feed of a friend of mine who might be using questionable apps), Facebook considers this a “core feature” – and 3rd-party apps are not supposed to replicate those in the first place. Facebook wants to make money from showing me ads when I view my feed, so allowing any other app to perform the same functionality would just mean loss of revenue.
We have been trying to get facebook approval for the use of an existing, already approved (with other people using it) third party extension for magento 2 that helps a user design photo albums. We would like to enable our customers to have access to their facebook photos when designing photo albums.
The initial app review was submitted at about the time facebook started making all of it's changes and thus sat idle for three months as they changed some of their internal policies and handled the subsequent backlog. It was even cancelled at one point requiring us to re-submit it.
Most recently, it finally received a review and was rejected because facebook confused the photo behavior with the login behavior.
I'm not trying to re-submit the review request with more details to show that it's a different piece of software performing a different function from the login-with-facebook but now (unlike the first time) I'm getting an error when using one of the test accounts:
Can't Load URL: The domain of this URL isn't included in the app's domains. To
be able to load this URL, add all domains and subdomains of your app to the App
Domains field in your app settings.
This error didn't appear when I created the 'experience' video 3 1/2 months ago so presumably it's something new from facebook's end as the settings in the app haven't changed. I can only guess as to the cause, but the third party app uses an end-point that is not on our domain but is instead one of their domains for their designer hub which actually handles the album design. The plugin is the MediaClip album designer and the end point is on photos.mediacliphub.com
But the facebook app settings won't allow me to add photos.mediacliphub.com to the App Domains saying:
App domains must match the domain of the Facebook
Web Games URL (https), Mobile Site URL, Unity Binary
URL, Site URL or Secure Page Tab URL. Please correct
these domains: photos.mediacliphub.com
Of course since we are the only one of their customers sitting in the middle of a review process at the moment, I'm having a hard time convincing mediaclip that it is a problem with the urls/changes-at-facebook. (especially since I am not entirely sure of that myself)
Facebook, meanwhile has closed itself off from the world in regard to any means to contact support with an actual specific question or inquiry. I've tried joining the Facebook Developers group on facebook and posing the question but so far it hasn't received a single reply or comment.
If anyone knows what might be going on or has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated for as of this point, I can't even re-submit the review request if I'm receiving errors in the experience as it will just get rejected.
I'm writing an iOS app for a business using the latest version of Swift and Xcode. One of the requirements is to allow the user of the app to post through the app to the business's Facebook page, specifically to the Visitor Posts section.
I've already installed Cocoapods and set up my pod file to include the various Facebook entities, like Facebook login. But I'm at a loss for how to proceed further.
I couldn't find many examples of just posting to a Facebook page, but the ones I did find are confusing as they say they are for Swift development, but include a lot of objective C. Can anyone point me to documentation on how to post a line of text to the 'Visitors Posts' section of a page using Swift?
I recently created an app on developers.facebook.com to learn OAuth using OpenFB. I got it working but from yesterday I've been getting a notification message written below in my facebook app account - to be frank I don't understand what they are trying to say. Can anyone please shed some light?
This account has enhanced targeting data set to off. We are removing the opt out setting, effective October 15. Note that data received through the use of our pixel and mobile app events has not been used for targeting to date, and we do not have plans to do so beyond small-scale tests. If we start using this data to improve ad targeting, we will ensure that this data makes up only a small percentage of the inputs into each targeting segment. You can also remove the Facebook pixel, app events and Social Plugins from your websites and apps before the effective date.
In essence, Facebook can collect data about what a user does on your app/site to build a more dynamic profile of that individual, and target them better.
This article does a good job of explaining what it is - note: the article is from when the advanced targeting data collection first started to roll out.

I have like/share buttons on my website and am not currently using an appid. Finding information on whether this is a necessity for the above configuration is difficult to confirm. When going through the Facebook app "create" forms, I'm really confused by a lot of the requirements as it seems to be more focused around actual apps rather than websites, which login via fb etc.
In the past I have created an app for one of my other websites and I don't believe there was any verification/submission process at this point (about 2-3 years ago). Reviewing my old app configuration now I can see that it is not "live" - does anyone know whether Facebook implemented this submission process in the last couple of years, and then de-activated any live apps that were created prior to this?
I now want to setup a new app for my new website and I'm unsure what the different 'action types' mean and what I would need to simply use like/share buttons on the website. Could someone give me a quick run down of what I'd need and what they are?
Any other info/tips people can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'm finding that the like/share DO still work without the app, but sometimes the share button doesn't work properly (I have a feeling this is something to do with the app).
Thanks
If you are just using the Social Plugins, you don't need to have a Facebook App ID.
If you want more integration, it will be required. Creating an App ID is like registering your App, wether an iOS or Android App or just a website, so that you can make Graph API calls for it.
The easiest way to register your website is to go the quickstart: https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/?platform=web (or https://developers.facebook.com/apps). There you can type a name and follow the steps.
You can then follow the "Sharing best practices" (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#tags) on how to use the App ID. For example, by including an fb:app_id meta tag on your pages.
There is a review process, since last April, but that is only needed if you use permissions for your App. If you just use the plugins, that is not needed.
Can you explain more what is exactly not working?
Update
The time you create a page the Facebook crawler does not know yet what the Opengraph data for that one is. This will happen after the first share, but if you want to ensure it is correct from the first share on, you can force a re-scrape.
This section explains how that works:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/opengraph/using-objects#update
When an app triggers a scrape using an API endpoint This Graph API
endpoint is simply a call to:
POST /?id={object-instance-id or object-url}&scrape=true
