My app was rejected due to REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES - google-play-services

Due to Google's new policy, my app was not approved. Here is the reply i got
We’re reaching out in response to your recent appeal regarding enforcement of your app. We are unable to approve your app’s use of REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission because the use of the permission is not directly related to the core purpose of the app.
I have tried the workaround I found on starkoverflow. Like adding
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES" tools:node="remove" />
But I don't see it working because I can still see the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission still listed in the manifest merger debug report. Which will eventually make them reject the app again
If anyone can assist, I would be grateful.

Can't get my app reviewed in Facebook API

I can't get my app to be reviewed through the Facebook API.
The app is purely a facebook messenger bot, and the app type is "business".
I have configured the specific permissions I need, however I recieve an error that states "You do not have any platforms eligible for review. Please configure a platform on your Settings page."
I also cannot add my app domain in the basic settings, as whenever I press save changes, the url does not save and disappears.
Additionally there is no option to make my app live.
Any advice?
The error message
I am leaving this answer in the event someone else needs it. It was an answer suggested by Facebook support when I encountered the same problem.
Go into App Settings and add a platform "Website"
Just add your website URL.
If the requested permission is just Messenger based then the website will not be accessed or tested.

Botframework v4 - Facebook Channel - Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden`

Last year I developed a chatbot with Microsoft Bot Framework that I integrated in the Facebook Messenger of a page. Everything worked fine until 16th of December (last successful log). The page is not used by a lot of people therefore the application might have worked also longer than that.
Today I tried to use the chatbot again and I did not get any response. In the Logs I just found the error message "Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden`".
After a bit of Debugging I found out that the problem is sending messages back to the Facebook Messenger.
context.SendActivityAsync(...)
I did not change any configuration within my Azure Bot Channel registration recently. I am aware of the privacy changes within the Facebook API, but as I already struggle with sending a simple text response like "Hi" I assume that cannot be the problem. Also the permission scheme has changed for Facebook apps. I have the permission for "pages_messaging". Do I need another permission now? Or did I miss another change in the Facebook API?
Technical Details:
Facebook API Version v6 (tried also v9 but no change in behavior)
Chatbot based on .Net Core 2.1
Bot Builder SDK v 4.11
Any hints what I did wrong or where I can look for further information is much appreciated.
Edit: I tried to add a new page to my Facebook App and get following message:
There is a hint that a permission is missing, but I cannot find out which one I require. As I only send responses to FAQ's and if required handover to the customer service inbox I just requested the "pages_messaging" permission. Do I require any other permission now?
I found the problem. For everyone that might have the same problem:
In our case the administrator that added the Facebook pages to the application was removed from the admin permission list of the pages. After re-adding the admin permissions for the pages the bot started working again.

There was an unknown error while processing the request. Cloud Messaging

Some steps for troubleshooting, that most often help in such situations.
Force a refresh of your browser with cmd-shift-R, to make sure you have a completely fresh version of the Firebase console.
Check the JavaScript console of your browser for any relevant error messages.
If you have any plugins in your browser blocking content (such as ads), please disable those and try again.
If neither of those gives a hint to the cause of the problem, reach out to Firebase support for personalized help in troubleshooting. Be sure to include information about the OS you run on, the version of your browser, and anything from #1.

Huawei App Gallery rejects my app with insufficient reason

I've uploaded an app to Huawei AG but rejected by a message like
"Dear developer, the functions in your App are unavailable and we can
not edit content in it after we logged in successfully, please modify
it."
My app is already available on the Apple App Store and Google Play store and working properly so I don't think that it is unsuitable. I've check Huawei's review guideline but couldn't find any solution.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Your app has been rejected, and the rejection reason is "Dear developer, the functions in your app are unavailable and we cannot edit content in it after we logged in successfully, please modify it." Check whether your app has the problem. You are advised to test the relevant functions.

API Exception (OAuthException: Cannot call API on behalf of this user)

Got the following exception when calling api (/me) using the latest PHP SDK.
OAuthException: Cannot call API on behalf of this user.
The same exception appears for some facebook account only. Any clue?
I found the source of the problem (on our site, at least). In Facebook's developer console (https://developers.facebook.com/apps), our app was showing an invalid privacy policy. Due to this, Facebook had automatically placed our app into Sandbox Mode.
Updating our privacy policy and (more notably) removing our app from Sandbox Mode caused this error to cease.
Other users seem to have had some success with removing regional (country-specific) restrictions on who can and cannot log in to their app (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-social-auth/XaE5dFXEqhA)
Additionally, #Igy's questions sound reasonable and might lead to finding a solution as well.
Best of luck! :)
Is that user's access token still valid? Has the user blocked you? Can you navigate to the user's profile manually? (i.e their profile might be unavailable)
