Clarification on need for App Review and instagram_graph_user_profile #23

Closed alexhillel closed 4 years ago

alexhillel commented 4 years ago

The plugin is great, but I'm struggling with how the Facebook app needs to be configured.

The documentation states that App Review is not necessary, but also says turning on the instagram_graph_user_profile option is required for publishing an app.

I'd just like some clarification on what this means exactly. Does this mean if I wish to move the app from 'In Development' mode to 'Live' or 'Published' (not sure of that the term is), I would need to have the app's use of instagram_graph_user_profile approved by Facebook? I'm struggling to get my app approved, with them saying:

Hi, The provided use case is not valid for the requested permissions. Please refer to this link for more information - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/overview/permissions Thank you.

Can I publish the app without approval? If not, will the app continue to work in In Development mode with the Cron Job outlined in the docs?

If you do choose to publish it then you would need to ensure that instagram_graph_user_profile is enabled.

We have not tried to get an app published because as far as we are aware it can be used indefinitely in ‘In Development’

Just leave it in development mode, there is no reason to publish it. I’ll update the docs to make this clearer 👍🏼
