Facebook read stream permission issue

I want permission to read stream of the user so that I can keep track of likes, comments and shares of user post but facebook is not letting me the permission with the reason that "The read_stream permission is only granted for apps building a Facebook-branded client on platforms where Facebook is not already available. ", but what if I have a facebook app which requires the permission to read stream. pls help

You can´t get read_stream approved. period.

This permission is granted to apps building a Facebook-branded client on platforms where Facebook is not already available. For example, Android and iOS apps will not be approved for this permission. In addition, Web, Desktop, in-car and TV apps will not be granted this permission.

Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.2#reference-read_stream

You can only try to get user_status approved and use /me/statuses - but you will only get posts of the user that way, not posts of his friends.

Edit: There is a new permission called "user_posts" that may be sufficient for you, check it out in the changelog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_3_new_features
