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.

I have created a facebook app which works as a website. My users can make a post to their timelines using this app. I am submitting for app approval. I have a doubt that after receiving approval from Facebook, can I still make changes in my web app. There can be bugs for e.g.
You can make these changes after the approval. I make them constantly with my Facebook apps.
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.
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 have a live Facebook app that is currently used in a production website. This app has not been submitted for approval as it does not need any extended permissions.
With the upcoming feature, the app will require access to an extended permission (manage_pages). Thus I will have to submit the app to Facebook for review.
As I understand the steps to recreate the user experience has to be mentioned when submitting for review. My problem is that the new feature is not available in production until the Facebook review is complete. How will the app approval process happen as I need to list out the steps to test the app when submitting?
As an alternative I could put the app back to sandbox mode and send the review, but that would disrupt the already exiting feature (which requires the app to be live).
Is there an alternate way that I could get the app approved without having to disable any existing features?
Thanks.
As far as I found out, there is currently no way, that Facebook helps you with this.
Have you found out something?
I opened an issue in the facebook-bug-tracker:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/1594700337461753/
Edit:
As Facebook mentions in this bug-report, the best way for this is to mention the app-id and domain of the pre-production app to the reviewer.
I have an iPhone App and I want to add the functionality that the user of this App can post on his wall with this iPhone App.
I know I have to create an App for my Facebook Account. But I haven't got a "normal" Account, I have a Page Account (created here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php). But it seems it is not possible to create Apps for Accounts like this, right?
By the way, I have a Page Account because the iPhone App is from a company, not a single person.
To create an application, you must have standard Facebook account (not Page account). Then install Facebook Developer App (it needs to be approved over the phone).
