We are trying to update our app and server to handle the upcoming Facebook offline_access deprecation. However, we’re having trouble testing it since we can’t find an easy way to generated an expired access token.
We’ve tried using the Graph API Tool to create an access token but change a character in it. However this just results in an invalid token instead of a valid expired token.
I’m shocked Facebook hasn’t provided a way to do this to facilitate testing. So I’m just assuming I’ve missed some straightforward way to do this, so would appreciate a pointer from someone.
If you generate an
access_tokenand then change your password, it will auto-expire the token.
