copied!<p>We have a browser based game which uses Facebook Connect through an AppID that we used to run the same game in a canvas until Fb Credits were introduced and we were forced to shut it down. Now, we only use the App the same way as a product page with the FbConnect integration on our own site.</p> <p>Today's mail states for our case: </p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><em>If your Connect app is accessing user connections or asking for additional permissions beyond age, email, and our Publishing Permissions, please remove these requests.</em></p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>(This refers to this policy change: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/09/05/platform-updates--operation-developer-love/">https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/09/05/platform-updates--operation-developer-love/</a>)</p> <p>We are using <code>oauth</code> FbConnect with <code>scope=email,user_birthday</code>. This is exactly what was specified in an earlier mail so it should be ok.</p> <p>Once the user is authenticated, we simply call</p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=... </code></pre> <p>and read what comes there.</p> <p>Is it possible, that we are not allowed to call the GraphAPI's <code>me</code> anymore? It contains info like gender, location and locale...<br> The Oauth data contains the fbuid, first/lastname and the email, but it does not contain the age, what we are supposed to be allowed to ask?</p> <p>Do I have to call <code>https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=birthday</code> explicitly?</p> <p>Did anyone actually succeed in getting an "desktop web game hosted primarily off Facebook" to comply with their new policy without creating a new AppID?</p> <hr> <p>Note: There have been a couple of questions about the "Sep 5th policy change" like <a href="http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/13756585/facebook-notice-of-violation">Facebook: Notice of Violation</a> this one and many previous closed as duplicates, but none I found so far contains questions or answers on a technical level.</p>
