Question

I’m trying to create a test user for my facebook web application. (apps.facebook.com/<myappname>).

I browsed my firefox browser to the following URL:

https://graph.facebook.com/<app_id>/accounts/test-users?installed=true&access_token=<app_id>|<app_secret>

I got the following result:

{
“error”: {
“type”: “OAuthException”,
“message”: “(#15) This method is not supported for native apps”
}
}

any ideas?

thanks

Are you sure your application is configured correctly in http://www.facebook.com/developers? (See Canvas Tutorial)

Have you tried using the application access token? To get this use:

https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials

substituting YOUR_APP_ID & YOUR_APP_SECRET with your respective values.

This will return a valid access token that you can substitute for APP_ACCESS_TOKEN in:

https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID/accounts/test-users?installed=true&name=FULL_NAME&method=post&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN
