Facebook read_stream issue graph api

I created facebook app for my website & To enriches the user's experience i need extended permissions from facebook for my app ( which includes read_stream with some other permission ) , i have submitted the app for reviews with valid description but submission were not approved and i could not find any valid reason for that.

I noticed this description in read_stream -- 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. , can you please explain meaning of this ?

Here is my reference site - https://hootsuite.com/ , they are using read_stream as well.

Now someone can use "user_posts" permission - This new permission allows an app to access the posts on a person's Timeline. This includes the someone's own posts, posts they are tagged in and posts other people make on their Timeline. This is a useful alternative to News Feeds. Previously, this content was accessible with the read_stream permission. The user_posts permission is automatically granted to anyone who previously had read_stream permission.

Hootsuite is using a v1.0 App created before v2.0 was introduced. It will stop working for them after April 2015, when they have to go through the review process too. You will not get read_stream approved for your website, as you can read in the quote you posted.

Meaning, you can only use read_stream in an App created before end of April 2014, and only until end of April 2015. Not worth using it anymore imho.

It's all in the docs:

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.

So, I strongly doubt that you'll receive this permission during app review.
