My existing iOS (native) app has basic readonly permissions, and is live & in production. Now I want to add the following roles for new features that have not been developed yet: manage_pages publish_pages publish_actions

It seems like a chicken-and-egg problem to me:

  • In order to add the permissions, I have to supply an app to the Facebook Review team that has features working that use these permissions, so Facebook can test them
  • In order to publish an update to this live app with the added features, I have to have the permissions approved by Facebook

How can this be done?

The answer turns out to be that you have to build the features into your app without the permission, ie. "simulate" it happening, record a video of your app "simulating" it, and post that video to facebook with details for the review.
