How should I correctly request permission for my Facebook app?

I've developed Facebook website application, which is using user_likes and user_photos permissions. I'm collecting informations who likes which photo and I'm generating list of users who is giving most likes, so user can check who likes his photos the most. And I have had one more app for generating list of with who is user chatting the most, but as I understood I cannot use it cause the permission associated with it is available on SSL sites only.

But I cannot find out why my request for user_likes and user_photos is still denied. I've tried like 4 times. And I was asking for more details. But it is like some robot is handling that, there is still just:

This permission request doesn't meet our criteria for approval. Please only request permissions that you need to create a high quality, personalized in-app experience for people.

And thats it. I've read it and I'm using it the right way and I think that I don't violate any conditions. How can I know that if I develop an application that FB will not deny it even if it meets conditions of usage?

Do you have some experience in developing FB apps? Fxp. if you get some offer to make an FB app and you will do the app exactly like user expected, but FB will not approve it so the app is useless...

I'm in a worry because, I'd like offer that I can make FB apps as people want it.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

How do I grant an app permission on Facebook?

Tap in the top right of Facebook. Scroll down and tap Settings. Go to the Permissions section and tap Apps and Websites. Go to Apps, Websites and Games and tap Edit.

What app permissions should I allow?

Only give your Android apps permission to access what they need to access on your device to provide the functionality you require from them. For example, it's natural that your weather app or navigation app will need access to your location to function properly.

What does please make sure you have permission for this app mean?

Android app permissions can give apps control of your phone and access to your camera, microphone, private messages, conversations, photos, and more. App permission requests pop up the first time an app needs access to sensitive hardware or data on your phone or tablet and are usually privacy-related.

When should you ask for app permissions?

Ask every time: Every time you open the app, it'll ask to use the permission. It can use the permission until you're done with the app. Don't allow: The app cannot use the setting, even when you're using the app.

user_photos is meant to be used in you application to pull photos from users profile, so you can use them in your app. Manipulate, or print them, or show some album, or whatever that brings new functionalities.

As I understood from your description - you want to pull photos just to get their likes. This data user already sees in Facebook. And that is in most cases the reason to bounce - as they do not see the extended experience.

Your app offers, as I understood, only statistics for Facebook.

It is worth to read those Common use cases described when submitting a request for a permission and validate if your use case is at least bit close to them.
