When I create a test app from one that's been approved for the Facebook Ads API that test app doesn't receive the ads_api_extern feature.
Am I missing a setting or other way that I can make ads api requests using a test app?
No, a test app doesn't inherit special permissions like access to the ads api
That would need to be whitelisted separately by whomever granted your existing app that access

I want to know if someone could already do something like this, because the new Instagram basic display API is kind of different. Thanks in advance
I've been working in a Ionic 3 app, which authenticated users with Instagram API. But now Instagram API is no longer working, and was migrated to Facebook.
With the new API, Facebook no longer allows users to authenticate into an app using the Instagram Basic Display API, and the Graph API for Businesses and Creators requires a Facebook token.
I suppose they now want you to only use the Facebook auth flow to authenticate your users for your app, and then have them log in again to Instagram for Basic Display after your primary authentication.
"Data returned by the API cannot be used to authenticate your app
users or log them into your app. If you need an authentication
solution we recommend using Facebook Login instead."
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api
&
"All endpoint requests must include a Facebook User access token."

I've built a simple app that consumes the Google Analytics API.
I have authorized access through OAuth 2, but have only been using my account to save access and refresh tokens.
If I want to let others use the app, will I need to save an access token for each user?
For web app, you just need one, and put the tracking code in every page of your app.
I'm not sure about native app.
i want to develop an android app using youtube API 3.
It is necessary that the user who will be using the app has to login with his/her gmail credentials to actually view a video?
Or just registering the app here https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application is fine and the user watching the video or using the app need not login to his/her gmail account.
It is necessary that the user who will be using the app has to login with his/her gmail credentials to actually view a video?
No. Authentication via OAuth is only necessary if your application requires access to "private user data". Simply viewing a video does not meet those requirements.

I'm using the Accounts framework from the iOS SDK to handle twitter requests. When my app requests permission from the user to access the twitter account, (null) is shown as the app name in the permission request alert.
What value do I need to set to make this show my actual app name?
It's the value for CFBundleDisplayName in YourApp-Info.plist
I do not understand how I can authenticate a user in a Facebook Flash application. I have read from the documentation that Facebook platform gives arguments, such as user id and session secret, to the Flash application, but how can I inside the Flash application make sure that these arguments are correct and not fake? Should I make some call to some Facebook platform method and check that no error occurs to be sure?
Another question related to Facebook: Can I only store Facebook users' user id's in my own database and not for example users' names? I guess I am not allowed to show users' real names when they are visiting my website directly and not through Facebook?
Use this API for flash/flex communication to Facebook services:
