Facebook gave me 6 days to update my app and kicked me right before Christmas

Facebook disabled the ability for my customers to sign into my app via their Facebook account.<p>They had given me six days to add a Privacy Policy button into my app (my website has it, and my app&#x27;s metadata has it, but apparently they require a button in the app UI itself, which I didn&#x27;t have).<p>I told them I would add it, but I needed more time, as getting an app update out with only 6 days notice the week before Christmas is impossible (I have 5 apps that use Facebook login across 3 app stores, iOS&#x2F;Android&#x2F;Amazon).<p>They told me I could request an extension, which I did do multiple times, but the extension was not granted.

We recently needed to apply for advanced access to more permission scopes on our Facebook app. It was an absolute nightmare. Between the out of date documentation, undocumented requirements, arbitrary rejections based on reviewer-side issues like network outages and php errors on Facebook’s internal testing platform, and me having to literally train their app reviewers on the new login flow meta built for instagram business login, I had quite the stressful week.

no good comes from integrating an app with facebook.

<i>So I plan to completely remove the Facebook sign in option from the website and app.</i><p>The solution to a completely avoidable problem. Anyone who interacts with facebook these days, whether as a customer or as a mark, deserves whatever befalls them.
