Instagram and FB linking - instagram

Me and a colleague are using a business instagram account together so we can both have access and upload stuff.. but when we try to invite friends/follow it only comes up with "my personal profile friends" and not any of my colleagues? the insta accounts linked to our company's FB page..? so should have both of our fb account detail, ie friends and stuff??
Sorry I am not a developer :D and dont really have a clue if this is possible or if there is a way of doing it.
Thnks

This isn't really the forum for this, I would advise confirming things with instagram; Email support#instagram.com. Or report it on the app:
You can provide feedback or report a technical issue by clicking on the Options (gear wheel) in your profile and then tapping Report a Problem in the menu.
Anyways, from what I gather, even though the account is a business account, you must've been the one who created it and linked your facebook account. Even though its linked to your page, it's still only linked to your account, not your colleague's. Even if he is an admin on the facebook page.
With a little more research I found this:
https://www.facebook.com/help/218638451837962
There are more links on this that help with every part. I'm not completely clear on all the details. But everything here should work, again if none of this fixes your problem, confirm with instagram whether what you want is possible at all.

Need help navigating the Google developer app to set up XOAUTH2 for phpmailer

I have been banging my head against a wall for the last two weeks. I'm trying to set up a contact me web page for my business. Having read all the warnings about mailto, I opted to use phpmailer for this. Similarly, I decided to use XOAUTH2 for sending the mail through gmail. I found several sites, including instructions at the phpmailer github page, that should have walked me through doing this.
Here's where I run into problems. After logging into the Google developer console, creating my project, and enabling the gmail api, all of the sites that I found talk about creating my new client ID. Every single one of them tell me that I will get a simple pop-up where I click that I want to create a web application, fill in a few items, and voila, out will pop my ID. When I did this, however, I was required to complete the consent screen before I could do anything else, and these screens did not match anything that was shown on the web sites I used as a guide. I muddled through as best I could and did finally get a client ID (I think/hope).
Does anyone know of a site or sites that walk a person through this in a way that matches what the development site actually displays? Did Google recently change things and the help sites haven't caught up? Having to guess at some of this is definitely not the way to do things. I'll be testing the results in a couple of days, but won't be surprised if things don't work right. At that point, I'll probably need more help to figure out what went wrong.
Thank you for listening to my rant.

401 error on CWS Payment Flow

My Google Chrome Extension (Annotate for Chrome) has successfully received payments.
I have updated the app recently but not the payment flow.
Now when a user initiates a payment the Google modal pops up (that displays the Google payment - from Buy.js) the spinner just runs endlessly and console shows a 401 error.
I double-checked manifest and in-app purchase SKU etc and don't see any differences from previous versions that worked. My check for current license is working fine - which tells me my app is being recognized by the Google Web Store and returning data on specific users license status...
Any thoughts on what could cause this? Many thanks.
(I submitted a ticket to CWS support - nothing yet). Probably something stupid but I don't know how to debug. Or epic fail on Google's part.
The root cause of this issue has been fixed and purchase flows should be working as expected now. Details over here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-extensions/bxoptYk8--Y/Mh_qJp4gDQAJ
This is a problem with the Chrome Web Store.
I tried to purchase another Extension (https://www.twinword.com/blog/how-to-quickly-monetize-your-chrome-browser/) that uses in-app purchases and saw the exact same problem.
So Google's Web Store purchasing process has been broken for a week+ and no one at Google cares. Maybe they should get out of the payments business and require developers use 3rd party solutions. Utterly disgusting on Google's part. I'd like my 6 hours of troubleshooting back...

Adding Support Page to Web Store Extension Page

I'm trying to add a support page right in the extension window but all that I can find is adding a link to another page. I've included some pictures, as I don't know how to really describe the feature.
that's what I have currently, and below is what I want to have-
This is a screenshot of what I have on the dev page, concerning the support feature-
I'm not sure what I need to change, so any help would be appreciated! (Directed here from this chrome forum thread)
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click "Edit your User Feedback preferences"
Check the "Enable User Feedback for all my apps in Chrome Webstore." box.
Note that neither you nor your users will get notified of new posts made in the webstore support section, so you probably want to direct users to a third party support platform, such as issues on the project's Github repo.

Gmail contextual gadget broken (again)

Link to previous issue: Gmail contextual gadget broken
Yesterday we received a couple of customer complaints regarding our Gmail gadget. They claimed that it had gone missing from their account. This morning, several of our employees have reported the same although, this isn't happening for everyone.
We haven't made any changes to the gadget and since it loads for some, I don't think this was caused by us.
What happens:
The window of the contextual gadget does not appear in the main Gmail interface
The window of the contextual gadget does not appear when opening an email in a new window (shift + click). This differs from when this happened previously.
We've also contacted Google and they have responded that they are looking into the issue. We've also seen that the shift-click to open an email in a new window doesn't work as a work around this time.
The last time this happened our monitoring showed that about 10% of users lost their access to the gadget per-day. We seeing a similar drop off in activity this time around.
Here are the details of the response I received from Google for this issue
Thank you for contacting Google for Work Support. I understand that
that you Gmail Contextual Gadgets have disappeared again from the
Gmail web interface.
I notice there are other user reporting a similar behavior hence he
have requested an update from our Eng team and I am currently waiting
for their response. As soon as I have an official response, I will be
contacting you back directly with the next steps.
Also I notice you mentioned that the previous workaround is no longer
working. Previously the workaround provided was to press "Shift" and
then click on the email. The email will be opened in a new window and
then the gadgets should be displayed. Can you please confirm if the
above workaround is working or not?
I’ll keep this case open while I wait for your reply. If you have any
other questions or additional comments, don’t hesitate to reply and
I'll be happy to continue helping you.
Sincerely,
Wilmer Google for Work Support
Here is the latest update from Google
As before this issue appears to be UI based as opposed to any problem with the Contextual Gadget API itself, we've gathered some troubleshooting information from affected test environments and are working on identifying a clear root cause and then remedying the behaviour at the moment.
There isn't any further you need to do on your end, I'll update you as I learn of any changes in the status of this behaviour.
Regards,
Patrick

How to get support tab for Google Chrome extension

I'm not sure if this is the correct exchange for this questions as I don't think it is explicitly programming related, but I can't think of a better place to ask the question.
I keep seeing this tab for chrome extensions that allows users to ask questions, suggest things or submit problems:
I haven't been able to find anything in the developer dashboard or in documentation about this tab. I know that I can get a support tab with a link by adding a url to the support link field in the project settings, but I can't figure out how to get the functionality shown here.
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click in the link:
Edit your User Feedback preferences: User Feedback is disabled
And then enable it.
It's the same answer for Where does the Chrome web store "Support" tab come from?, it works for Apps and extensions.
