Facebook feed dialog: empty callback

I have a button "share on Facebook" in my website. When the user clicks on it, it opens a popup to share a picture on his profile. This works but I have a problem with the callback (I want to know if the user has shared something or just closed the popup without sharing anything).

I am trying to get the callback response in jquery. I have exactly the same problem as in this post: FB.ui feed not giving a callback. Unfortunately, the accepted answer just says to empty the cache, which did not work for me.

My code :

FB.ui(
{
    method: 'feed',
    name: 'Share a photo',
    link: url,
    picture: path,
},
function(response) 
{    
    if (response && response.post_id) 
    {
        window.console&&console.log('Post was published.');
    } 
    else 
    {
        window.console&&console.log('Post was not published.');
    }
});

Why is the response empty?

You only get a Post ID after sharing if you authorize the user with the publish_actions permission. You will also have a hard time getting any callback without that permission, for a good reason: Usually people want to use it to do something that is not allowed anyway - rewarding users in some way for sharing or gating content:

Only incentivize a person to log into your app, enter a promotion on your app’s Page, or check-in at a place. Don’t incentivize other actions.
