  2. You will see the screen below.

    With the new API mode, facebook publications with only photos or text are not working in app. It only shows in app with photos and texts together.

    I'm facing this problem Currently you are trying to generate an app with an incorrect configuration in your Data Sources, please go back and confirm that you have properly set up all of your OAuth settings for YouTube or Facebook. You can see the HowTo for more details.

    I been trying to get this to work for weeks and it still doesn't work.  I have made my app public in Facebook and followed all the instruction multiple times. I have deleted and recreated the datasource and facebook settings at least 4 times and it still doesn't work. I am pretty convinced now it is something with the data source and facebook handshake.

    No way to get it to work. I have read almost everything in Facebook docs about Graph API Explorer, Access Tokens etc. but can't figure out what is not working in appstudio. Do we have to publish our apps in Facebook dev Account to become officially online to make the APis work again? Or may be Windows appstudio need to reflectt changes in FB APIs see here: developers.facebook.com/.../changelog to make it work again. Thx for any insight

    Hi Support team, thanks a lot for the fix. It works again like a charm and I obviously missed your post here, because I just submitted an update to the store without FB and will stop the submission now to include FB again :-) Cheers Volker

    I think this documentation needs to be updated. The web pages on Facebook don't resemble much at all those displayed in this document. I'm lost and likely have messed up trying to create a developer account on Facebook. Could really use some help in figuring out how to fix it or pointers to something more up to date than this documentation, please.
