I want to develop a facebook app that assits in page managing.
I learned that facebook recently change 'extended permission' such as 'manage_pages' to be available
only after submission and their approval.
What I don't understand is - how can I develop my app and submit it without having a way to test it?
Thanks for your help.
The approval is excluded for developers, beta users (real users) and test user accounts (fictional users) of the app. Approval is required if you wish to prompt general users that permission.

I have integrated Facebook SDK for the first time. I have submitted it to Facebook for review and its got rejected. Now let me tell you the steps I followed and the issue where I am going through.
Created an app with Facebook email, public_profile permission and went live (as its not required the review as per the document and its working fine)
Now due to change (enhancement) in the business requirement, I had to add user_friends permission also in the existing app. I have gone through many links and read about the facebook app review and Facebook test apps I have created a test app for the actual app and integrated the user_friends permission (as it works for test app)
Since the previous live app was with general permission (email, public_profile) I have not submitted this for review. So, this time I have submitted the test app for review and it got rejected (fb reviewer message
-- unable to login)
Question:
But it's still working. I am able to login properly. Cant understand what and where the problem is? I have googled for solution and found that we need to submit actual app for review. But how, the actual app is already live without user_friends permission, so in that case it will again get rejected.
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
For my running app (iOS and Android) I'm trying to use the Facebook Connect ability to register / login users. The problem is: I need user_birthday & user_location to be approved by Facebook. Therefor I need to make a screencast to get this approved.
How am I going to screencast a feature that isn't approved but needs to be recorded?!
If you are the admin of the Facebook App, you can use unapproved permissions.
Just make a Test Version of you app and login with your "Adminaccount" and make a Screencast of the Feature. After Facebook approved it you can update the Apps in the Appstores.
I believe you need to prepare a screencast and reproduce the issue in the screencast with the details like with what user you are able to reproduce the issue. The issue in your case would be that you are not able to retrieve the mentioned details.
Problem found:
We where trying a release build (Android) instead of a debug build in combination with administrator account.
Can someone help me out on this ?
I am new to using Facebook API.
I am building a native Windows phone game app and I want to let my users be able to share their high scores on timeline. So, I need to submit my Facebook app for review (to get publish_actions permission).
I have a few questions:
What's the best way to submit my Windows phone app to the Facebook review team ? I want to release my app with the ability to share scores - so I really want to get this permission before publishing my app to the store. Will the review team be able to side load my package and test if I send them an xap ?
Is it sufficient to send a partially completed app (that includes all the pages that I use for logging people in and sharing scores) ? I would like to avoid exposing what my game concept is.
In future if I build a Windows 8 version of the game, will I be required to submit the Facebook app for approval again ?
Thank you so much in advance.
I'm having an issue where I'm wanting to build a web app - but until I can have it built to show Facebook, they won't give my app permissions (specifically manage_pages and read_page_mailboxes).
So, obviously my code for this doesn't work at the moment.
Is there a sandbox mode where I can write and test all my code, then send it into Facebook submissions for full approval once it actually works?
As a developer, you can use permissions that have not been approved to build your application. You can also create test users from the App Settings page to create users to test your application - all can use unapproved permissions.
Once your application is built, you can then submit it to Facebook to get the permissions approved for end-users. Just make sure you are using the Developer account or a Test user account to test your code during development.
You'll see a notice if you're using a permission that isn't approved.
According to this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
All new apps after April 30,2014 now require approval to use publish_actions. I have a desktop application that posts to user's facebook walls. The users used to be able to create their own apps buy simply naming it, adding their contact email, setting it to a desktop app and taking it out of sandbox mode. Now, it seems they will need to submit their apps for approval in order to post. The problem is the approval submission requires a platform selection. The FB app doesn't use any of the platforms listed. It's not a mobile app and it's not a website. The app is merely a way for desktop users to post to their wall once they log in. So what needs to be done in order to get new apps approved for this?

Desktop apps should submit a Web platform and include detailed screenshots or a screencast of the integration.
