Question

I am trying to send a Facebook notification from my app using Graph API Explorer. So I have selected my app, POST, and entered this string after the /

11093774316/notifications?access_token=430xxxxxx156|HU0ygMtxxxxxxxxxxxxikVKg&template=Hello&href=index.php

The access string is what I get on the “Access token debugger” and I check it is ok.

However, I get this error message:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#15) This method must be called with an app access_token.", 
    "type": "OAuthException", 
    "code": 15
  }
}

I would say it was working one month ago… Any ideas?

Thanks

• Change your app secret ASAP, you shouldn’t include private info in these questions
• Then, check the advanced settings of your app and make app type is set to ‘Web’, not to ‘native/desktop’ – if it’s set to native/desktop the app secret isn’t trusted and calls which need an app access token will fail.
