The new Facebook developer integration should be really handy and easy, but i'm struggling with creating a test user or a regular Facebook user to get permissions to sign in my app.
I opened a "TestApp", and login in as a "Admin" works great!
The problem is adding more Facebook accounts and test users.
When i tried to add a Facebook account to "Testers" section, i get this (pending) message next to the persons name, and can not log in the app using Facebook with that user!
Same issue with adding a "Admin" to the app:
After this didn't work, i figured if i create a "TestUser" maybe i'll have better luck, but the test user does not show up when i'm trying to add him to the "Role".
Any one that can make this clear to me a-bit more will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Found the answer, its a bit silly but if anyone else gets the same issue...
After you add a new user to the "Testers" he gets a notification that he must accept, so the "Pending" will go away, and the user will be activated.
This notification does not get to the Facebook home page, only to the "Developer section" of that user. As #rmp251 mentioned, that can be found on this page
Thanks for the help.
I just want to add few details on the answer but I cannot comment.
The test user need to register as Facebook developer (if he not reregistered already)
Link: https://developers.facebook.com/async/registration/
After that he need to approve the request from the app
Then he need to approve the request at this link
Link: https://developers.facebook.com/requests/
I was trying to add an administrator to a Page owned by a Gray account. The invitee would see a notification appear briefly, but it would vanish as soon as they clicked on the Notifications button, and would not show up in their list of notifications.
Workaround: The invitee can go here to see and accept the invite: https://www.facebook.com/pages/?category=invites
In case anyone is trying to add Instagram Test Users, there's also no documentation on where this "pending " request goes.
Log into the invited Instagram account in a web browser. Go to https://www.instagram.com/accounts/manage_access/. Click "Test Invites".
Log in from desktop to your instagram tester account. Press MORE then SETTING, then APPS AND WEBSITES and then you'll have a 4th tab TESTER. Also you have to add tester the instagram account that you want to display.

I am building an application with Instagram login. I was able to login and fetch 20 media files as per sandbox rate-limits. Now since I want to fetch the tagged images, I have to invite users to the sandbox after which I can tag their photos and fetch data.
My problem here is I am not able to send sandbox invite.
I go to Manage Client > edit > sandbox option > type user name, enter to invite.
It appears as NOT SAVED in sandbox user, and the person to whom I am sending the invite is not getting any invite.
Kindly help me as this is my first project on Instagram.
Press the "Save Changes" button, it will then change not saved to pending
Manage Client > Edit > Sandbox tab > type username and Enter > click "Save Changes"
You need to go to Manage Client - Edit - Sandbox - type in the username and Enter as the accepted answer states, but I'd like to also add how to accept the invitation as I had to look around a bit for this, on the receiving account, log in and go to
https://www.instagram.com/developer/
Click Sandbox Invites at the top menu, there your invite will be waiting for you to accept, there are no emails sent for my test accounts, hope this helps someone
Just go to Sandbox Invites and press Accept in your test account Developer Documentation page
enable to see Accept Invitation the other user accept the invitation must:
go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/
Register your application.
Fill in whatever is being ask ex. your website can be http://localhost
after registering go to Sandbox Invites.
then you can see and accept the invitation.
Hi: I have submitted my app to the App Store. I have Facebook login feature in my app. When I try to login to Facebook from devices I have I am able to do it seamlessly. However Apple has rejected my app saying " When we tap the Facebook icon to sign up we are taken to mobile Safari where we receive a message that states :
User is not allowed to see the application.: The user is not allowed to see this application per the developer set configuration.
Not sure how will I be able recreate this issue. I installed my app on 3 different devices and was able to login without any errors. I checked my app setting on Facebook Status and Review section of Facebook and I have enabled my general public. Not sure what else I am missing. I just feel very dejected. Can anyone please help me figure this out? I am using parse as my backend service and logging users using parse Facebook login.
Thank you very much!
Another reason this will happen is if you are logged in as a test user from a different app than the one you are trying to sign in to. Facebook test users are app-specific.
Sign out of Facebook and back in with a test user from the correct app.
Go to Safari > http://m.facebook.com > logout
In cases where app sign in with safariviewcontroller, sometimes it contains test user of different app
In my case, I was using wrong facebook application id in the code. So added the correct id & it worked for me.
This issue occurs because Apple testers used the same Facebook test account which was created to test any other app and they did not logged out from that account(forgotten to log out) and that facebook test account doesn't have the permission for the current app in review which is why this issue occurs,
You can follow the given link to replicate the issue by creating an an test account.

Steps to create Facebook test account
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/test-users#managetool
We had this problem, and it turned out that the problem app didn't have a namespace set up in the Settings > Basic tab. Creating one is the solution to this.
Recently I have faced this same issue. Presently Facebook doesn't allow you to login from any Facebook id as you app is in development mode. There are 3 possible solutions that work for me:
Use only that id for Facebook Log In Testing with which you are working in Facebook for developer.
In Facebook for Developer-> Login to your Account-> Open app->Roles-> Test Users-> Add->Submit-> Edit on newly created random tester account->"Change Name and Password for this Test User"-> Provide a Name and handy password for testing.->Submit.(Use the given random generated mail id and password for testing Facebook login through your app.
3)In Facebook for Developer-> Login to your Account-> Open app->Roles->Roles->Testers->Add Testers->Provide Facebook Id for the user you want to add as tester->Submit
To get Facebook Id for a valid user. Login to Facebook with the Id you want to make as facebook tester in your development process.Then goto profile and in URL of browser you see id=(some_random_number). Copy that Id and paste it into Add Tester section of Developer account. It will be in pending state until the valid user accept the inviation.
I had something similar when validating to apple too,
I still don't get it now but for some reason the facebook secret id had been erased from the parse configuration.
You must check that point too
I don't know if that was the reason or not but for me this happened only after I signed the application with a release key, so I made the app 'public'. Probably the test users doesn't work for public applications.
We had this problem, and the solution is to use the same FB test accounts that was created from the same FB App. So if the App get rejected from App, then you should send to Apple a FB test account with password.
my side
I was using wrong facebook application id in the code. So added the correct id & it worked for me.
I have an iOS app which posts to Facebook on behalf of the user logged in through the iOS Facebook setting.
Two problems -
the posts are marked private, the users friends don't see them.
The iOS app want to be able to harvest Like and Comment info but I get back a 400 from FB.
Here's the wrinkle, my Facebook account works perfectly (posts are visible to friends and I can get the Like and Comment info), but a test user account will post only as private and the iOS app gets a 400 when trying to get post info.
The attached screen shots show the different permissions (top for tester, bottom for me) but I can figure out what to ask Facebook for at login to get the same permissions for both users. Currently I'm asking for publish_actions and user_status.
Any help would be much appreciated!
You need to make sure you are asking for public_profile also you need to make sure you split your permission access into two pieces, as per FB, 1) read 2) write
Just follow the login process on the Facebook Dev page, this will allow you to outline your permissions the right way. Also make sure your test user is added into the groups on your Facebook Dev portal.
Also can you provide any code of what you have tried?
Turns out the post_id element was not what I wanted but rather the id. After that I could use json to get the comments and likes. So the call was almost correct.
And adding stream_read to the permissions got the post to be visible to friends...
Thanks for all the help!
I have included the FBLoginView in my view controller on XCode without any problems. When I press the button in the iPhone simulator, I get redirected to facebook on safari, but it gives me an error that reads: the user is not allowed to see this application per the developer set configuration.
The app is set to public in the Facebook dashboard, and it is set up in settings with the bundle id and single sign on.
Any suggestions?
This error are most likely caused by using a Facebook test user account to log into a live (non-sandboxed) Facebook app, Facebook test users are app-specific.
Sign out of Facebook and back in with a test user from the correct app.
There are other options like namespace is missing, secretId etc. but if the first answer is not the problem then my guess it's probably something with the app settings in FB.
I have also face this problem
my fault was because I create a "Test User" but the test user I was created is Test User for Facebook Security, not Test User App. So the solution for me is:
First:
Go into your app on Facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
And then go into your APP and you can see the App Dashboard.
Second:
Click on Roles and Click on Test Users and then you gonna see this board.
Third:
Click on Add button to add Test User, and you gonna see this board like below:
Select Authorize Test Users for This App? to Yes
And login Permission I set email because I want to get email from Test User and the Age you can choose depend on your App, and then click on Create Test Users
Final Step
Set the Test User password.
And we're done, now we can use the Test User we created to test on our App, but make sure to sign out the previous account on Safari first.
I don't really sure if this is the right answer or not, and the question also had been ask for a long time ago, but I decide to answer this question for others who face a problem like this, I hope this helps everyone who faces the same problem. Cheer.
There must be an easy answer to this one....
I am trying to integrate my latest IOS App to Facebook. I have not used Facebook before, so just set up a "company" page with basic information on my firm.
I'm following all the Facebook links i.e. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/ios/build/
But I cannot get beyond Step 1 (LOL). Whenever I click the link "Step 1: Registering your iOS App with Facebook," it keeps taking me to my company's Facebook Admin screen!? I cannot find a way to register my App off this screen. Where is the "Add new app" link??
I'm going in circles. Help appreciated.
It's not possible to register an App under a Business account, and you have to create (or lend) a personal account. And keep in mind: Facebook frowns upon incorrect information, so should be a legit person or your account will be suspended when (not if) they find out.
Secondly you have to authorize your Facebook account. For example: by entering mobile phone no. and entering code from a text FB will send you (more info: http://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php) or entering CC information (more info: https://secure.facebook.com/cards.php)
When you (finally) have an authenticated account:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps Is the location you should be looking at.
Over at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/tutorial/ Step 1 describes the creation of a Facebook App. (rather simple, by clicking on "Create New App")
Hope this helps! Good luck!
I believe the problem is that you are attempting to create a Facebook App with your "page user". IE you clicked "Use Facebook as..." and clicked on one of your pages.
You can not create an application in this way. Applications must be created by "real" users. You're going to want to follow that tutorial you posted to and use your user.
If you are hesitant to use your own account, ask your boss to use his or request from your clients login credentials to open the application on their account.
The reason behind this is so that Facebook can track "bad" applications back to real people, people who had to verify their account by submitting a mobile phone or credit card number.
