Would appreciate any feedback about how the facebook updates impact the way the package accesses the data.

@marianmunz I am getting the error:

"Error in callAPI(url = url, token = token, api = api) : (10) To use 'Page Public Content Access', your use of this endpoint must be reviewed and approved by Facebook. To submit this 'Page Public Content Access' feature for review please read our documentation on reviewable features: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review"

However, I have no plans to ever take my app out of development mode so It seems strange to think I'd have to submit the app for review to get access to data I already have permissions to see in the Facebook Insights web reporting interface. Are others seeing this when calling the Rfacebook functions?

This page states:

"You do not need to submit your app if it will only be used in Development Mode by you or someone with a role on your app. Any account listed in the Roles tab in your App Dashboard, such as admins, developers, and testers, can use all permissions but will only be able to access their own data, that of test users, and test pages belonging to them."

So I don't understand why I'd be getting that error.
