I've created a facebook app a few weeks ago. The app creates an album, and publish some photo inside. All was worked fine.
Since a few days, it doesn't work anymore.
After trying some (hundreds) tests, it seems :
- app login doesn't show photo upload right anymore,
- i can publish photos in main stream, but it doesn't work as well as before : user need to approve photo and i can't create album.
After looking in app parameters on facebook, all seems normal : permission for photo upload are still there...
Does anyone has any idea about this problem ?
Could it be some matters with review from facebook or something like that ?
Thanks for help !
Review is only needed for Open Graph actions and for an app to appear in the app center.

The permissions set there are for login from the app center only. If you’re handling login yourself in your app, you have to ask for permissions via the scope parameter.

I would like to have my app post to facebook and then when "friends" see the link, they can click on it and since it is a deeplink, clicking on it would take the user to the app store if the app isnt downloaded otherwise it would take them to the correct page of the app. Would this need approval from Facebook?
No approval needed, but in most cases this is currently not possible — Facebook has decided to block the functionality. The best option is to post a link pointing to a page on your website, and then open your app from there.
In other words, you can't open a link from the news feed and have it launch the app. However you can open a link to your website, and once the website is open you can launch your app successfully from there. This is the approach we currently use at Branch.io
If this is the wrong place to ask this - I super apologize in advance, I'm at a loss here.
I'm trying to develop a simple Facebook PHP app and I'm having trouble getting publish_actions. Here's how the app will work:
You enter your email address
Periodically, you receive emails like this ("Hey nice person, here's a video we think you might be interested in, click here to share it on your wall")
You click the button, it takes you to the app site, which asks for your publish permissions
You enter a message and share the video to your wall.
My problem: all of that requires publish_actions permissions, but FB won't grant them to me until I can show a working app (I applied for permissions and was denied because "Canvas
Your app isn't loading properly and errors appeared while testing your app").
My question: How do I get access to publish_actions without being able to show a working app (which requires publish_actions)? Can I use PHP to post to my own wall in development mode somehow to test it out?
Again - I apologize for the dumbness of this question, I am a PHP dev who is very new to FB, and I've looked everywhere for answers on this.
Try using the Facebook Graph API Explorer
You will be able to simulate some of the app permissions as if it was production.
Just go and select your app, then select Get User Access Token, finally select all the permissions you want to test.
Use the given token to develop and test things out and when you have a semi finished version, submit it through the app review section, following the Facebook App Review Guidelines
I submitted screenshots, a video of my app working, and step by step description on how to reproduce the publish action.
Hope it helps.
I am working on making a game that we plan to upload to Facebook in just under 3 months. However, we would like to make a Facebook page to try to get publicity before we upload it. I'm not sure if we should categorize it as a Games/Toys page or an App Page.
Yes, the app page just lets you have the codes for the API. You can change the catagory later.
I am developing a mobile camera app that allows posting a photo on facebook. The camera app is a stand-alone and does not require facebook login when it starts. However I want to allow posting a picture to facebook. It follows that the first time a user will try uploading an image it will have to go through the permission login dialog twice.
I cant find a way to ask the user for access his basic information + posting of an image on his wall with one login dialog.
This seems "by design" if you read: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/concepts/login/permissions-login-dialog/
Its a bad users experience to be transfered in and out the mobile app twice in a row to allow posting.
Is there a way to ask the user for basic information + posting of an image in one pass?
Do the following steps :
1) Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps
2) Click on your app.
3) Click edit app
4) Click Advanced
5) Check Enhanced Auth Dialog: Disabled
That's it. You have one authentication popup.
You get two pop-ups because one of them is a basic permission popup for the app while the other popup asks for extended permissions i.e. publish_stream to post a photo on behalf of the user. For more info on facebook permissions, go to : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/login/
#Oriel Bergig Facebook update the sdk.

Problem is solved .If any issue ping me.
I am using FacebookAgent by Amanapps. It is a nice little wrapper for Facebook integration in iPhone apps. So far everything is peachy. But I noticed that when I upload a photo to my account, Facebook does not automatically publish it to the wall, instead Facebook puts it on hold and I need to goto See All Photos and approve them first.
Is there any way I can bypass this "approval" method. I feel it is ridiculous since upon logging in, the user has already give consent to the "app" to post the photo.
Thanks in advance for any insights.
Ok, anyway, I had to move away from FacebookAgent since in latest FB SDK, FacebookAgent is no longer updated. I ended up coding my own Facebook usage in the app using latest SDK with SSO. I even wrote a tutorial for it, for those who'd like to know how to do it please visit: http://xcodenoobies.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-upload-photo-and-update-status.html
Thanks.
