Facebook Score API Testing

Social Media

Greetings everyone,

I’m working on a game that players will be able to post their scores to a Facebook leaderboard. I’m trying that piece of code from Stack Overflow so far but I’m having problems in its execution because of permissions -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17400605/facebook-score-api-with-corona-sdk

Error message:

RESPONSE: {“error”:{“message”:“Unsupported post request. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",“type”:“GraphMethodException”,"code”:100}}

RESPONSE: {“error”:{“message”:"(#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions",“type”:“OAuthException”,“code”:200}}

I found out that we need to submit our game to Facebook for review before we can request these permissions from the user. Here is my question: is it possible to test these functions before submitting the game to Facebook?

You should be able to either set your account to a tester or put the app in test mode.

Can you direct me to the page where it can be done? I can’t seem to find my way around Facebook.

Go to:    https://developers.facebook.com/apps/

Click on your app.

In the menu of options on the left hand side navigation there is an option for Roles.  This is where you setup testers.   There is also an option for “Test Apps”.
