"Hey guys, I've had luck using a tool like Postman to test Facebook OAuth in dev mode. Just set up a redirect URL, get your Facebook app ID, etc, and you should be good to go. Let me know if that works for anyone else!"

"Yo, try setting up a test Facebook app with a sandbox domain - it's way easier to get OAuth working in dev mode with that. Then, just use those credentials in your code to authenticate. That's been a lifesaver for me so far"
