Question

I have created an app. It does not prompt users to Post on Wall permission, after the GO to App popup. I have given the following settings for my app in developer account.

User & Friend Permissions: email,user_activities,user_likes,publish_actions
Extended Permissions: publish_stream,read_stream,offline_access

When i click a “Preview Login Dialog” link, it shown the following rights in “GO to App” popup.

THIS APP WILL RECEIVE:

    Your basic info
    Your email address
    Your activities
    Your likes

But, when i access the app at the first time, it shown the following rights alone.

THIS APP WILL RECEIVE:

    Your basic info

Due to this, i could not post on well. I have checked.

Similarly, i have checked user’s app setting page.
User account has no option like the below.

* Post on your behalf
* Access posts in your news feeds

What is wrong? I spent more than 3 hours to find out.

Answer 1

Be sure that you have expected permissions set in the scope parameter of method invoking the login dialog:

FB.login(function(response) {
   // handle the response
 }, {scope: 'email,user_activities,user_likes,publish_actions,etc...'});

And just in case, to be sure that you will have needed permissions before doing something that needs them, try handling revoked premissions, as I pointed here.

BTW, be sure to request only permissions your app really needs. You can scare users with so many permissions. 😉
