I am working on an app that needs to update a Facebook user's status using a custom composer in an Android app. Also, I would like to get the user's videos to show them inside the app itself. I believe I'll need the following permissions to achieve the desired features.
publish_actions
user_videos
To get those permissions, I need to submit my app for review. I have prepared the required stuff for that such as, steps to reproduce and screencast of mobile app, to give an idea of the features working. Facebook also requires the APK to be uploaded along with the submission. But, the problem is I don't have the required permissions for now, so how will I demonstrate the exact feature up and running in the Android app? Without the APK, I won't get the app reviewed.
Is there any way to get the required permissions for some users, so that I'll be able to demonstrate in the screencast? Please help.
PS: I tried to add some Test Users but they don't seem working fine.
Follow these simple steps to submit.
1.Open your app in facebook console account.
2.Go to App Review,in app Review click the button Start a submission.
3.On Left List of Items will be displayed.
4.Select Items for Review
5.You have to Add Notes for Each Permission(Add the text to explain why u need that particular permission or add a video clip or
Screenshots.
*NOTE*:--make your note in such a way that they can understand your requirement clearly,otherwise they are not going to approve it.
6.AtLast Press the Save Button for submission.
Guys You need to wait for minimum 1-2 days to get approval.
You will get Alert in the Alert Tab on Facebook Console account of your app,
once you will get the approval,then good to go.
Hope it will help someone.

I'm trying to update an app that has already been published on the PlayStore but is now being refused because GOOGLE informs that the app does not respect usage policies. I receive the following message:
- The app does not comply with the Location Permissions policy
Email with details send by google
After receiving this response from Google, I have already corrected my code, but the app continues to be refused.
Below are the actions I have already taken to try to resolve the issue:
When I received the lock for the first time, I made the requested corrections in the application code. The app currently requests the following permissions:

Below is the print of the permissions after uploading the .aab to the playstore:
enter image description here
Accessing the play store policy menu, I noticed that the privacy policy setting is linked to build number 29 but I'm already trying to send build 35.
This build 29 uses background localization, but I can't unlink it from the policy configuration tab or add another app version.

wrong permissions in build 29
I've also reviewed the features that use localization in the code and everything is fine. Below screenshots of the code:

code snippet 2
code snippet 3
I would like to know if anyone has had similar problems and can give me some guidance on how to solve it?
First thing, I noticed that you wrote "ACCCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" (with 3 C). I don't know if this is the error, but better spell it right.
Second thing, be sure that you declared that you DON'T use background location. To do that, go to your Google Play Console, select your app, then go to
App Content (it should be the last section on the left) -> API and sensitive authorizations -> Manage
then set "No" to the question regarding background location.
This is the screen you should see after these steps
From one day to another, all our users are getting this error when trying to login into facebook from our iOS and Android app made with Unity3D.
However, test users and users under role section can login. We have not updated the build and we do not remember to have changed anything on the facebook app. The application is live and public for everyone and the green checkmark is filled.
I want to know if there is any way to get a deeper debug to understand where this problem occurs?
If you're using the Simulator reset all content and settings. Previous users may still be logged in. Worked for me.
I have several problems with google play apps testing.
I have a beta user group with 100 users.
In the process given from google, I must add all users to a group, and then, when user receive a mail, he click a blue button "Become a tester"
I have 2 problems in this step.
I don't have a way to know who clicked this button and who didn't click, so I really don't have control of who has the correct version
After clicking blue button, when user has 2 google accounts, it fails, even if the user choose the correct email. I was able to pass this step by deleting an account, download app, and re-add the account. It seems like a bug to me.
So basically, I have a lot of trouble with all this process.
Is there any way to get it work better, or should I just buy an external service?
1. I don't have a way to know who clicked this button and who didn't click, so I really don't have control of who has the correct version
Well it is true that you don't get a "notification" per say saying that the user clicked the blue button. But you can always look up the developer console to see who has downloaded the app based on versions, devices etc etc.
2. After clicking blue button, when user has 2 google accounts, it fails, even if the user choose the correct email. I was able to pass this step by deleting an account, download app, and re-add the account. It seems like a bug to me. So basically, I have a lot of trouble with all this process.
I never experienced that when i was added to a beta testing group. I actually had 3 accounts on my phone at that time and was still able to install the beta app without any issues.

I develope mobile application for android that uses facebook sdk.
When I try to use it I get:
Error App Not Setup: The developers of this app have not set up this app properly
I understood I need to allow access public.
on Status & review I want to turn on the question
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
But then I have to fill in numerous details and images.
And after filling all this I need to wait 7 days for approval by facebook team.
I am just in a stage of developing. This is crazy! I don't have yet all the screen shots and images they want. I am sure they will not approve my app.
Hey #Gilad sefti it is not mandatory that you submit the app for review after turning on allow access public to Yes...You can still continue to make graph api calls without submitting for review
This question already has answers here:
"Rate This App"-link in Google Play store app on the phone
(21 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Is there a way I can request user for a rating/review/comment for the application from within the application (Activity).
One option I can think is to create a link in the application to Android market where user can enter review/rating/comment. What I am looking is to allow the user to do this without leaving the application.
Also, I need to find out if the user has already reviewed. (Which case, I may choose to change the link to 'Revise the review' instead of 'Add a review').
Is this possible?
Alternatively, if I redirect to the market page, is it possible to take the user straight to the review section (not top of page)
I wrote a simple library to do that.
It is called AppRate and you can find it on GitHub here.
Features:
Do not prompt the user if the app has crashed once.
Decide exaclty when to prompt the user. (number of launches ...)
Customize the rate dialog to fit your application design.
Usage example:
It is very easy to install and use:
Drop the jar in your libs folder.
Then include the following code in the onCreate method of your MAIN activity.
new AppRate(this)
.setShowIfAppHasCrashed(false)
.setMinDaysUntilPrompt(0)
.setMinLaunchesUntilPrompt(20)
.init();
This code will show a default rate dialog after 20 launches.
It will be shown only if the app has never crashed.
The rate button points to your application in the Google Play Store.
I hope this can help you. :)
No. Currently the only thing you can do is direct the user to the market to rate or leave a comment. Hopefully they will build a market api in the future that will allow better app-market interaction.
There are several services available now in the market like : apptentive, helpshift, polljoy. Using such service can do more than just rating prompt such like user feedback and in-app survey.
