I  read an article on MSN news and I want to share it on FaceBook. I get this error message and I have no idea what it means. I have shared from MSN for years and now get this:

App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permission.

Now how do I resolve this?

Thank you.

Your computer has been restarted since the problem began?

I just shared an article with Edge, Chrome and Firefox, so the problem isn't affecting everyone.

Try clearing the Chrome cache. [Ctrl+Alt+Del] > clear cached images and files.

If you're running an ad blocker, try disabling it.

If running third-party antivirus or other security program(s) see if disabling them affects the situation.

    JoLewis, That's what I've been doing too.  Another way is copy and paste.  Copy the URL on the article's address bar and paste it as a post on your Facebook page.  :)

    i would google search the article,,,but time consuming,,for u still have to search thru till u find one u want to share from a choice of 1 to say 10 different news sources and share best oone of the choices,,,too much stress doing that every time,,,,so i just copy and paste every url link,,,grrrr,,,so i not ennjjoyng it on puter no mmore ,,,too stressful now on internet or fb,,and with aall the changes on msn,,fb,,messenger,,games,,my 12 yeaars of playing a game now gone since new year,,boredom is taking over big time even on puter ,,,enjoyment gone now since pandemic hit,,and in lockdownss ,,a year of coupeed up with justt aaa puter,,and another year to go living like this,,but now msn,,fb,,flash players to be able to play games gone,,,our only life to have to socialize wass on internet,,or anny fun on internet,,being taken so we go insane,,,ssleep is all there left when u r bored,,,lol,,,and i cant walk so i couped up home alone during winter in aa wheelchair,,nternnet my only means to keep me sane,,,now i insane annd need to find a hobby now,,,lol,,healing candle maaaking,,,,lol,,
