(# 100) The type of action <type: action> is not approved, so only administrators, developers and testers of the application can publish the <app-id> application

Question

I work in facebook application development mode. I have two users for my application: I as an administrator, and the other as a tester. I am using the GRAPH API explorer to publish a sample user action. It always gives the following error for both users. I made sure that I am using the permissions and passing the correct parameters.

 { "error": { "message": "(#100) The Action Type searchmates:Need is not approved, so app <appid> can only publish to administrators, developers, and testers of the app. User <userid> is not one of those roles.", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 100 }} 

I raised a mistake also on facebook: Defect raised . So far no luck. Please help how to proceed.

Answer 1

If this is a mistake on facebook, which I am not very sure about, since I never came across this using standard or custom actions, you need to nail it, narrowing down the possibilities.

• Could this be a valid access token error?
• Have you placed fb:admins in the meta tag?
• Is there a wrong (500 error) url that facebook doesn't see?

and etc.
