- Question
My app review submission on Facebook was rejected with the following reason: Since I cannot create a Facebook test account, I don't know which test account Facebook used to evaluate the app during the review process.
Hello Team,
We have determined that the submitted use case and screencast for the requested permission are valid. However, we were unable to verify the permissions because using our test credential unable to retrieve the page list.
For the next submission, please provide us Facebook credential so that we able to verify the permissions.
Please re-submit accordingly and we will re-review your application. Thank you!
Hello team!
While reviewing this submission, we were unable to verify the publish_video permission because the use case and screencast don’t showcase the functionality of publishing live videos to an app user's timeline, group, event, or Page.
We noticed that your use case details did not clearly explain or give guidance on how the permission was being used.
The allowed usage for this permission is to live-video stream to an app user's timeline, group, event or Page.
Hello GoTech, I recently went through the same situation. When I contacted support, they gave me some instructions and after following them, my app was successfully verified.
In fact, the test user creation feature is disabled and will probably be removed, so you will need to create a real Facebook profile and assign it the Tester role. Use this account exclusively for this purpose, DO NOT use your personal account.
When you submit your app for review again, a new problem may be that the reviewer informs you that they received an error about an incorrect password. This occurs when the app reviewer tries to access your account from another country or continent. To get around this, follow the instructions from the support team below:
Thank you for contacting Facebook Direct Support.
