as per facebook's documentation they will be removing "publish_actions" permissions after August 1, 2018. As an alternative they have suggested to use Share Dialog https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog , But share dialog doesn't serve my purpose as previously I was publishing photos to users timeline from my plugin using "publish_actions" adding that photo a any specific album present on user's account, however Share Dialog is now allowing me only to share link of the photo which gives user different exeprience. Is there an alternative way to post photo to any of the user's album without using "publish_actions" permission. TIA

Take look on publish_groups.

"The publish_actions permission is deprecated in Graph API v3.0. Apps can still post stories via mediated experiences like the Facebook Share Dialog on the web, or the Share Sheets for iOS and Android. Apps can publish to groups through the publish_groups permission, which requires an app go through review."

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/faqs/?fragment=graph-api-3-0

section: "My app uses the user_managed_groups permission. Is it affected by v3.0?"

Hope this helps

  • So how do you post to a users feed without the share dialog? As this would make things very inconvenient for me without this ability. – Kenziiee Flavius May 30 '18 at 10:54
  • @hehe, publish_groups permission refers only to publishing to groups, not to user timeline. Also, in their official docs for Group API it is mentioned 'publish_to_group' and 'groups_access_member_info', which differs from permissions mentioned for Graph API v3.0. So look like they are pretty unclear still about this. – Nikola Kirincic Jul 18 '18 at 09:21
