On August 27th Facebook released on their website the ability to add contributors to a specific photo album. This is a specific entitlement that allows other users to add photos to an album - not a Page or an Event - a private photo album.
I can not find any reference to it in the Facebook API. The latest API was released on August 22nd so it might not include this feature but if someone around here is 'in the know' it will be nice to get some insight into this feature and APi functionality / release date.
Thanks,

Which permission is required to post on facebook main wall or timeline through personal website c#?
like pages_read_engagement,pages_manage_posts is required for posting on Fb Page
By “main wall” you mean the user profile timeline?
That is not possible any more via API, that has been removed a while ago.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/breaking-changes#login-4-24:
The publish_actions permission has been removed. Apps that have already been approved for publish_actions can continue using the permission until August 1st, 2018. If you want to provide a way for your app users to share content to Facebook and Instagram beyond this date, we encourage you to use our Sharing products instead.
as per facebook's documentation they will be removing "publish_actions" permissions after August 1, 2018. As an alternative they have suggested to use Share Dialog https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog , But share dialog doesn't serve my purpose as previously I was publishing photos to users timeline from my plugin using "publish_actions" adding that photo a any specific album present on user's account, however Share Dialog is now allowing me only to share link of the photo which gives user different exeprience. Is there an alternative way to post photo to any of the user's album without using "publish_actions" permission.
TIA

Take look on publish_groups.
"The publish_actions permission is deprecated in Graph API v3.0. Apps can still post stories via mediated experiences like the Facebook Share Dialog on the web, or the Share Sheets for iOS and Android. Apps can publish to groups through the publish_groups permission, which requires an app go through review."

section:
"My app uses the user_managed_groups permission. Is it affected by v3.0?"
Hope this helps
I am trying to access albums of my friends.
According to changelogs of v2.1 it is now not possible to retrieve full friendlist but there are apps In android playstore which can download album of friends. How are they doing it?
They are probably using an App created before April 30th, 2014 - so they can still use v1.0, but only until end of April 2015. Apps created after April 2014 can only use v2.0+ and are not able to get all friends anymore and friend permissions have been removed too.
See changelog for all the dates: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
I know that Facebook's v2.0 of the graph API restricted the friend permissions so you can no longer get friends' birthdays. I can make a request to /me/events/not_replied [or whatever status] and i can see upcoming events no problem. This does not contain upcoming birthdays though.
The reason i suspect birthdays may be accessible somewhere is that on my personal Facebook page, under 'Events', i can see a list of upcoming events including birthdays.
I'm using the newest Facebook SDK (3.15.1) for iOS but also using the Graph API explorer in developer.facebook.com.
Could someone confirm whether upcoming birthdays are accessible in any way using the 2.0 graph API?
Upcoming birthdays are not events and that is why you don't see them when you are looking at upcoming events.
And you are correct. You can not access friends birthdays in API v2.0
Hello everyone I am posting on my friends wall using this code
[appDelegate.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/photos",[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%lld",fbid]].
I am posting a photo as my code indicates. I wanted to know if that will be affected as per Facebook Developers Roadmap october 2, 2013.

You can easily find this out by activating the October changes in the developer settings of your app, but i am pretty sure it will be affected.
That´s how you get to the settings: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/[your-app-id]/advanced
"October 2013 Breaking Changes" > enable
You can always switch back, of course.
