I am getting the following error whilst publishing to Facebook via my iPhone application
Stream stories are restricted for this application.
And I am pretty sure i am not posting any thing to user's wall without notifying him first.Can any suggest what might have caused this issue?
Thank you for your support
This means that your application has lost its ability to publish to the users by Facebook. This is usually due to too many people reporting your application as spam or deleting your posts or revoking your application or other spam measures implemented by Facebook. To appeal to have your app reinstated, contact Facebook. Another option is to create another application but you may run into the same issue if you dont fix the root cause (people viewing your app as spam).

I am not a frequent user of Facebook but the current issue I am faced with is logging into my game which is connected using Facebook. I generally face no problems getting into the game without any further questions on authentication, but today I found that I was disconnected from the game, unlinked to any sources. So I tried to log into my account by authenticating it through Facebook. (I am still logged in on Facebook, have no suspensions or bans) When the game forwards me to the Facebook app, this constant message pops up at the top saying:
App not active: This app is not accessible right now and the app developer is aware of the issue. You will be able to log in when the app is reactivated.
I am very confused, and this poses as a major concern for me as I cannot lose this account. I went to the settings of Facebook as well under Apps and Websites, and the game remains active showing me when I added it and if I would like to remove/unlink it, which I will not be doing. I don’t know how to use Facebook for developers either, if that is something that is involved. I have made an account though.
I already tried searching up solutions for hours, youtube videos, restarting and on/offs

Platforms affected: Connect URL.
Developer Policy 1.2: Build an app that is stable and easily navigable.Some common violations of this policy include:
- Broken Facebook integration (e.g. broken share, like or comment functionality)
- Broken user experience in the app (e.g. app has broken links or user interface failures)
My app:
Using https://www.npmjs.com/package/hellojs v1.18.8 to query user info from facebook.
The request URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/me?fields=email,first_name,last_name,name,timezone,verified&access_token=.....
calling out hello.js
hello(auth.network).api('me').then(function (json) {
App has no share, like, comment functionality and not really any user interface. Just our page offers ability to fill some data with facebook and then it remembers you with cookie.
Anyone has similar e-mail and what to do?
Our app does not use share, like or comment functionality neither do we provide any user interface for users (only the o. We are using Facebook to prefill some user data on our site.
Have the same unclear message "Platform affected: Connect Url".
I asked for a more detailed answer and received an answer the next day:
Thank you for your response.
Facebook periodically reviews the websites and applications which are on it. Your application is in its review process currently. We are required to test the Facebook login functionality in order to conclude the review in totality. However, we are unable to do so.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate a Facebook integration (Login, Share and Like) on your submitted platform. To help us conclude the review process, could you kindly share the details regarding the location of a Facebook integration and how to navigate to it on your website URL.
This review is essential to Facebook as we want to offer the best experience to users as well as developers like yourself. Please help us in bringing your application into compliance by working with us.
Alternatively, you could aid us by sending us credentials of a test user which is already registered and connected to an FB account within the app. You can get all the information related to creating a test user here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-users.
Please feel free to get in touch with us regarding any doubts or queries you might have.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
My app contains the functionality of a facebook login. I made an instruction and a test user of the application so that Facebook employees could test the functionality used in my application.
Normally they write down what is wrong and explain how to fix it. If you are not sure you can reply them back and ask how to fix it. I manage to fix my issue which was similar to the one explain below by emailing facebook.

I got the same message from Facebook two months ago. In my case, I didn't find a solution in time and Facebook penalize me by deactivating the app.
Therefore, you must attend to it if you do not want the same to happen to you. Facebook uses software similar to this to check for failures on your site and assigns a score according to its performance. That's why they send you such a generic message.
I suggest you use PageSpeed Insights to receive a report on the performance of your website. In addition, the platform gives you suggestions for optimization and improvement; Surely there you will find some clue of what may be failing.
I'm facing the situation where I need to programmatically create multiple Facebook Messenger Apps to different chatbots. Pretty much something like ManyChat and ChatFuel. Can someone shed some light on how is it possible?
There's a thread on it from 2011 but I've been uncessful on finding documentation on these old Facebook API's.
Create a facebook application programmatically
Thanks!
There is no API for this. As ceejayoz mentioned, ManyChat and ChatFuel just run one app and use their customer's account with the rights manage_pages and subscribed_apps to subscribe the app to the customer's page.
That said, there is just one endpoint where all traffic is delivered to and the software has to route every message to this endpoint accordingly to the right page (using receiver_id in the payload).
Keep in mind that while you want to run several apps in parallel, you have to approve all of them. Without this approval, the app can not be reached from customers.
For more insight, see the FB docs:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens/?locale=en_US
And https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/subscribed_apps
My company's Facebook app has been in operation for a few years, but with the recent API upgrade, Facebook now requires apps to be submitted for approval if you need certain permissions.
This app adds a page tab, which requires the manage_pages permission. Facebook has rejected the app several times, providing the following reason:
We could not reproduce the requested permission. Please submit
detailed, step-by-step English instructions in the "Add Notes" section
of the permission, and make sure to provide the relevant version of
your app.
Things I've done:
provided step-by-step instructions, with supporting screenshots for each step
had multiple people test those steps to ensure the login process and page tab work as expected
read through all of the supporting documentation and submission articles
Unfortunately, Facebook provides no option to contact their reviewers.
Has anyone else hit a wall when submitting a Facebook app for approval? And if so, were you able to figure out the issue or contact the reviewer?
That's unfortunate... I think there have been such cases. If you think everything is correct with your review submission, I'd recommend that you post a message to https://www.facebook.com/groups/fbdevelopers/ There are FB engineers monitoring the group, I guess they could give you some help or contact the right persons.
Good luck!
I have an application (window exe) that gathers information from our clients and posts images to Facebook. It use a Facebook app to help with its posting, but also uses an executable and a server with php scripts to accomplish its tasks.
The problem is that when i try to get the Facebook app approved, Facebook fails the app since it does not seem to be using the permissions i am requesting. This is probably due to the fact that the permissions are used in the php scripts, rather than directly by the Facebook app (which is not runnable outside of the infrastructure i have described above).
So i do not know how to get this app certified and worry they will turn it off after April 30th. Has anyone else had troubles like this and if so, how did they resolve the issues?
