Answer 1

For publish permission you should send request in app settings and send for review, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/

Answer 2

It only returns read-permission, not the write permission. Try the snippet below

    final Bundle permBundle = new Bundle();
    permBundle.putCharSequence("permission", "publish_actions");
    GraphRequest request = new GraphRequest(
            AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken(),
            "/me/permissions", permBundle, HttpMethod.GET,
            new GraphRequest.Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onCompleted(GraphResponse graphResponse) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "response2: " + graphResponse.getJSONObject());
                    try {
                        JSONArray permList = (JSONArray) graphResponse.getJSONObject().get("data");
                        if(permList.length() == 0){
                            // no data for perms, hence asking permission
                            askForFBPublishPerm();
                        }else{
                            JSONObject permData = (JSONObject) permList.get(0);
                            String permVal = (String) permData.get("status");
                            if(permVal.equals("granted")){
                                postToFB();
                            }else{
                                askForFBPublishPerm();
                            }
                        }
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "exception while parsing fb check perm data" + e.toString());
                    }

                }
            }
    );
    request.executeAsync();

Answer 3

We were having the same issue here.

Try using:

Session.getActiveSession().refreshPermissions();

This will refresh the list of permissions available on

List<String> permissions = session.getPermissions();

It will only work with Facebook registered developers users or test users registered through the Facebook App Dashboard.

This worked for us.
