issue updating facebook user status from my app

Question

what permissions do i need for my facebook app to update status on user behalf.

I already have publish_actions and publish_streams permissions but still my app gives me an error:

error 200: the user did not grant this app the required permissions.

Answer 1

The permissions set in the App Settings are not applied to the app. They are used for logins triggered from the App Center by the Play Game/Go to App buttons – since that is a mechanism where you as the app developer don’t trigger/implement the login yourself, you can not set a scope parameter there; and therefore you make those settings in your app dashboard, so that Facebook knows what permissions to ask for when the user enters your app this way. - Info by CBroe.

For the permissions be applied in your app, you should set the permissions through your code. The permissions are set while implementing the login functionality. For eg: In Javascript, it is done like this: FB.Login
