In an Unity Game, i use the facebook scores api, so i need the publish_actions permission (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/scores).
Despite of i tested my functionality and made requests with test users and real users, when i go to submit to review the app in order to get approved the permission, i have an issue, "it looks like you haven't made any API requests to publish content with the publish_actions permission...", so i can't submit to review de app on facebook.
Somebody have any idea? i only use publish_actions for score managements.
Thanks
it looks like you haven't made any API requests to publish content with the publish_actions permission...
They telling you did not made any API call with that permission. But by telling your steps seems you did API call, so Just try again. Make sure you are passing the publish_action while requesting access token.

I'm working on a notification web-app that has a Post-to-Facebook feature. Until the (Graph) API v2.0, it worked great. A user would authenticate with their Facebook account, put their token into our app, and we'd use that to make posts to their wall/page for them when a new notification was sent.
We have applied for the permissions we need to use on Facebook's new API (publish_pages, publish_actions, manage_pages). We received a notice that our application was rejected, so we re-worded the same application for permissions to try to clarify what we use the permissions for, resubmitted it, but have been rejected again.
An app that does almost exactly the same thing we hope to do was granted these permissions (we know, because we both work with- and compete with- that app). Until we found out that that app can still publish posts to Facebook, we believed that all requests to repost/automatically post on users' behalfs were being denied because of a Facebook policy change.
We can't figure out who to contact or where to appeal the denial of these permissions. This probably isn't the right forum (since this isn't specifically a technical question about the API), but I can't see where to take this issue next.
Did you have a look at the Login Review FAQs:

or otherwise refer to

I write a program that says "Program would like to post to Facebook for you"
what item should i submit for review?
is that "publish_actions"?
but Facebook just say "It looks like you haven't made any API requests to publish content with the publish_actions permission in the last 30 days. You, or any account from Roles, needs to test this app with this permission before you can submit it for review."
Then I add my account to testers and test the program,but nothing changed, why?
what should i do?
The message "Program would like to post to Facebook for you" appears because you're requesting the publish_actions permission during login. It sounds like your app doesn't actually make use of this permission though.
Keep in mind that if you're using a dialog or button to share content (for example the Share Dialog, Like Button, Send Button or Message Dialog), the publish_actions permission is not used as the actual sharing is done by the Facebook app. The publish_actions permission is only used if you're directly posting to Facebook from your app via the Graph API by calling /me/feed or a similar endpoint.
If you're only using dialogs or buttons to share, you don't need to request the publish_actions permission during login and your app doesn't need to be reviewed for this permission.
I've been reading through the invitable_friends API documentation and it states under Permissions that "Access to the user_friends permission requires review of your app before it can be used by non-developers."
In contrast to this, the Permissions documentation states that "If your app asks for more than than public_profile, email and user_friends it will require review by Facebook before your app can be used by people other than the app's developers."
Can anyone confirm that if we are building a Canvas Facebook Game and trying to use the invitable_friends API whether we need to go through the review process or not?
As I'm not a Facebook employee, I can't "confirm" this, but the review guide at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login#do-you-need-review says that
You do not need to go through Login Review if your app requests these three basic permissions:
* public_profile
* user_friends
* email
So, I guess the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.1/user/invitable_friends#readperms are not correct.
I filed a bug report under https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1528594254021404/ Feel free to subscribe to get an official statement from Facebook (but don't expect this too soon :-/).
I have a blog website and I have a Facebook page where I would like to share updates from my blog. I also would like to share those updates to my personal profile/timeline. I made an application and requested the publish_actions and manage_pages permissions.
It got rejected with the following comment:
You do not need to request these permissions because your blog or CMS
is integrated with an app that you admin. As an App admin, you can
already access these permissions and post to your Timeline or a page
you admin. You can provide access to additional users by adding them
as developers of your App.”
Yes, I am an admin on website, app and Facebook profile/page.
But, can anyone tell me what does it mean?
I read documentation several times. It's pretty clear that I can post even to my own only with access_token. I can get access token if I ask for authorization.
If a request authorization with publish_actions, manage_pages authorization dialog comes with the red banner saying:
"The following permissions have not been approved for use and are not being shown to people using your app: publish_actions and
manage_pages.Submit them for review or learn more."
and
"This does not let the app post to Facebook."
. Then any attempt to post comes with Error #200) The user hasn’t authorized the application to perform this action. It I don't ask for permission I just getting Error 200.
So how exactly I can "already access these permissions and post to my Timeline or a page I admin" as an App admin?
It seems that around mid May they of went back on the review process, at least partially; if your user owns the app and the page then you should be able to publish to your stream or to your page without going through the review process... I guess you just don't have to ask for the permissions that triggers the review process.
I'll be testing this in a bit and I'll get back to you with my results.
UPDATE: Yup. I've just tested it... just ask for publish_actions, manage_pages and status_update and it'll let you autopost on your own page, just ignore the warning about the review process.
I'm using an app access token to write to a facebook user's wall (using the facebook graph toolkit in asp.net). i've found that the process works fine if i have publish_stream permission but fails if i only have publish_actions. i would prefer to work only with publish_actions to avoid the second screen permission request.
this issue seems to go against the fb docs which state "Moving forward, we recommend that apps only ask for publish_actions, as this permission encompasses the other two and we want to simplify the model." (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/concepts/login/permissions-login-dialog/)
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced and overcome this issue.
You need to check out this.
It says-
publish_actions will now include basic publish_stream permissions (including posting on a user's timeline, posting photos/videos, commenting on and liking content), which will appear on the first Auth Dialog screen. With this change, apps that were previously granted publish_stream do not need to request publish_actions.
as you said, BUT-
If you need specific capabilities like posting to a friend's timeline or to groups, you will still need to request publish_stream, which appears on a second screen where users can also opt out.
