Answer 1

I have created a new app within facebook and have set some extra requirements around asking permission for the users email address/location & birthday.

I have saved the changes within fb and when clicking on the preview auth dialog I can see the extra permissions I want displayed within the preview window.

When I try authenticate against facebook I am not asked if I give permission to the extra fields I setup within facebook.

This sounds like you are another one that’s confused about what Authenticated Referrals actually do. (The permission fields in your app settings apply to those only!)

Authenticated Referrals come into play, when a user clicks on any link redirecting to your app on Facebook.

If you are doing the login yourself, however – you have to ask for the permissions you want using the scope parameter.
