I have an issue with adding a developer colleague to the application as an administrator (it doesn't matter if he's added in a developer role, the error stays the same).

Even though the colleague has a verified account with Facebook that he uses, Facebook claims when I try to add him that he "is not a verified" user.

I assume this is a bug, as the account was disabled once by the user (not by Facebook) and has been reactivated.

Who could I contact to sort this issue out?

    @AndrewMarshall, well, it is https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/545/ just try to log-out or use an incognito mode while visiting http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/ and read the welcome message. – Juicy Scripter Dec 21 '11 at 19:37
  • @AndrewMarshall, you still correct about programming question, what we see here is not programming and not technical question! – Juicy Scripter Dec 21 '11 at 19:38
  • @Juicy Scripter: I also thought a while before submitting it, but in my view it was a question regarding how to enable programming on the FB platform. Apologies if there is a disagreement about this. – Bjoern Dec 21 '11 at 20:22
  • @BjoernSjut, I think the major disagreement is not what you want to be answered but what you're asking for. _«Who could I contact to sort this issue out?»_ - is a really bad question for SO... – Juicy Scripter Dec 21 '11 at 20:28

The other developer will need to verify himself as a Developer by going to http://developers.facebook.com/ before you can add him.

    Hi Andrew, thanks for the quick reply - that actually wasn't the driver. We just found out that Facebook apparently requires a phone-verified account for developers. After adding a verified phone number to the colleagues facebook account I was able to add him as a developer. That error message should really be more clear that this is about the phone number... – Bjoern Dec 21 '11 at 20:13

    @BjoernSjut, you doesn't have to provide a phone, there is another option too - credit card ;-} – Juicy Scripter Dec 21 '11 at 20:25
  • Yes, the push to "verify" is so vague that I remember going through the same headache once before. Hope it all worked out! – Andrew Kozak Dec 21 '11 at 20:28

As described here:

you need to prove yourself worthy via a phone # or credit card.
