Unable to test facebook feed webhook. Webhook not receiving events - facebook

Following the recent changes for facebook developer, i had this alert on the webhook section on the developer dashboard, and therefore no webhook messages are received from 'testers, devs, etc' ;
Application will only be able to receive test webhooks sent from ...
Facebook not allowing webhooks anymore in development mode
As a result i am unable to test my mesenger bot apps. I am administrator of my Pages as well as I am administrator of my facebook application.
Whenever I add any comment or likes on my pages, I don't get any webhook event fired.
My pages have subscribed to my app.
The problem now is - My application is in development mode. I can't test it. And facebook won't approve it because they also are not able to test it as I have to mention steps.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Azure Web App Bot Webhook Text With Facebook Always Drop On V4

I got a sample echo bot hosted on Azure Web App Bot, and link up with facebook messenger.
Every configuration setup correctly, when I type message in FB Messenger, some of my text were actually not receiving in /api/messages endpoint.
I used ngrok on Azure bot web app to replace it api endpoint with my local url and found out that some messages did actually fail to delivered to the endpoint.
I had setup my web app to be always on mode, and server location put in Central US. But it still has this performance issue.
Because our bot starting migrate to V4, and found out that the suggested action card always not responding after user click in Messenger (sometime it's works), it's normally reply with local bot emulator.
Any ways can improve this or minimize user lost their action in conversation due to the dropping message?
OK finally found out that delay/random reply caused was single FB page subscribed to multiple FB app.
Just try to make sure you only have a single page subscribe to a single FB app , else it will randomly send the webhook message to one of your subscribed app and cause the performance issue.

Unable to test facebook messenger bot. Webhook not receiving events

Following the recent changes for facebook developer, i had this alert on the webhook section on the developer dashboard, and therefore no webhook messages are received from 'testers, devs, etc' ;
As a result i am unable to test my mesenger bot apps.
I have created "Test users" from the "roles" section;
When i login with any "Test Users", the messenger bot app created does not appear in the Messenger Bot search.
Kindly note that my initial Webhook subscription at the developer dashboard is successful.
I want to test the bot before submitting for approval, is my approach wrong?
I am really at a loss as how to proceed. Any help will be very much appreciated.
If your app is in development mode, your bot will still be able to send messages to users with the developer, tester, or administrator role for the app.

Facebook Leadgen app turned off itself

Does facebook turn off Leadgen webhook app of its own. I have one app running without any problem, but today when I was not getting webhooks I checked and found that the app was turned off.
Does the leadgen webhook app requires to submit for approval?
I tried finding an answer on FB but no luck.
Your weebhook App didn't require an approval to works for in a leadgen integration. In development mode you webhook app only be used by administrators, developers and testers. You can keep like this.
Check your app token or page token if it has expired, using this link:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/accesstoken
Check your webhoook app is subscribed into your page, and submit a lead test the track status with this links: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lead-ads-testing
Check a role permission in your Facebook Page, from what I remember you must be a administrator.
If none of these checks help, there may be something wrong with weebhook.

Why Facebook Messenger bot publish is not happening?

Am Developing Facebook Messenger bot, Its working fine for my test users who are added as testers in Roles option in dashboard.
I have put my messenger bot for review. its not happening, reviewer messege say's "We received no automated response when we messaged your Page. Please ensure your experience is working as intended and resubmit".
Please help me out.
I am getting this error from last 10 days.
Make sure your Facebook app is live, go to you Facebook app dashboard, navigate to app review and turn on the first option to make your app live.
Remember, Facebook reviewers are considered "public" and the Messenger bot won't work for them unless the app is live.

Change Facebook Messenger webhook url without FB re-reviewing application

Is it possible to change my Facebook Messenger webhook URL without having FB to review again my application (since it takes a couple of weeks to do so)?
Yes, you can always change the webhook without having to resubmit your Facebook App for review. I've switch my bot's webhook back and forth several times (even to my local development webhook with ngrok).
In some apps the Webhooks is not even there yet, so for those who don't see it, you have to "Add Product" and choose Webhooks.
