Facebook disabled the ability for my customers to sign into my app via their Facebook account.

They had given me six days to add a Privacy Policy button into my app (my website has it, and my app's metadata has it, but apparently they require a button in the app UI itself, which I didn't have).

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/Android/Amazon).

They told me I could request an extension, which I did do multiple times, but the extension was not granted.

Facebook believes in the future, not outdated notions like Christmas.

Joking aside, sorry this happened to you. These kind of inhumane policy do nothing but create stress.

Sounds like OP needs to move fast and break things. Christmas and family if need be.

Don't mess with walled garden gangs. They have no soul, they have no mercy. The sole purpose of your existence is to serve their interests. But they won't tell.
