I'm trying to get the albums and pictures from a Facebook page so I'm able to directly use the Open Graph API, ain't I? at least I see no problems so far. Is there any advantage on using an app token under this scenario? what about events?
Although you are able to achieve what you want without using app access token, but you should still use app access token to interact with public ibjects on Facebook as it is how these objects are intended to be accessed. Moreover, Facebook API is in constant state of change and very soon they might decide to stop giving result without access tokens, so if you use app access token you will noy have to revisit to fix your app, which is the advantage in your scenario.
Similarly for events althought you might get information about events without using app access tokens, but they should still be accessed by providing app access token.

Uber server token are not working any more, on dashboard it shows "Please reach out to your Uber BD Representative for server token access."
It seems Uber is changing API access and has done some sort of purge which forces getting access through some approved "Business Development" rep or process.
You can read this page, that might help.
You can go ahead without adding Server Token your app will work properly.
In the past, I also faced this problem but without adding server token my app started working properly.

At work, we've developed a Facebook app to create a configurable 'tab' page with live information from our API, so that a small handful of our partners can display it on their Facebook pages in a template we provide. The app works fine, but is not something that needs to be independently discovered by people browsing a list of Facebook apps.
Thus, my question is, do we ever need to submit this app for a formal review by Facebook, if we don't care about being listed in their app index? We've got the app URL that we're giving partners directly to install, and that's worked already.
I've provided as much of the app details as are required (descriptions, icons, privacy policy URLs, contact details etc) to meet Facebook's own requirements. Is there any chance Facebook will look at the app down the line and require a submission, considering the app now has 'users' (i.e. people that have viewed the tab page it creates).
You only have to get your app reviewed if you want it to be listed in the app center – but it’s absolutely not mandatory.
But be aware that people could possibly find your app in other ways, f.e. it might show up in the normal search under it’s name.

I am wanting to add some FB functionality to our MVC business site. There are certain events that result from customer activity on our site. I would like to post these events to our company timeline. I have several working examples and tutorials but where I am having difficulty is at log in. I would like to have the system use stored credentials..web config etc. rather than prompt for login. However all the docs etc. show that the OAuth end point doesn't accept these kind of parameters??
So how can I have the system log in using stored credentials?
TIA

Facebook used to have an offline_access permission that is now defunct. What you can now do is trade in a short-lived token for a long-lived token (that I think lasts around 60 days) and store that on your server. Check out the details here to learn more about this process.

Even if I accidentally published my Fb App Id and Secret Key, how could anyone harm my app if they have no access to my App Dashboard?
First of all even if you did this, which you should never ever do, you should consider changing your App Secret immediately without further delay.
Secondly, As your question asks, for starters they can do a lot of damage to people associated with your application starting with you.
Though they won't have user access token for your account but they can know the permissions you have provided the application, and if you have provided publish_stream permission, which many people who post their App Secret on Stack Overflow do, anyone can Post things on your wall on your behalf. Which I would consider a major serious issue.
They can create Migrations
Create demographic restrictions on an app
Set properties for an app as described in Application documentation
Ban Users from your application
And do many other things that just requires App Access Token as described in the Application's documentation
Moreover if your app behavior is under scrutiny then, maybe it would directly affect the Facebook account that created the application which directly in many cases will be you.
So please safeguard your App Secret always to build Apps that Users can trust.

I am trying to do Like-Gating for our application. The application is an external website using facebook connect.
I have looked around the documentation and found that you generally do this using the signed-request data you receive from facebook. But seems like that data is only sent by facebook if the app is a facebook page. Correct me if I am wrong.
How can acheive the same result on a external website using facebook connect?
Thanks in advance!
You can approximate this functionality by using the facebook Javascript API. Use this to subscribe to an event when the Like button (in a Like Box) is pressed, and then redirect the user to the gated content with that event.
I have done this before in real-world web apps, and it works well. I can post some of that code as an example, if you need it. The event you want to listen for is the edge.create event.
Sorry but the functionality you're asking for is only available on facebook.com with the exception of Pages, and thus you cannot like gate your website.
