Facebook ios SDK, liking a page, "application does not have the capability"

I'm trying to set a "like" for a page object on facebook using their ios sdk.

Connecting is all working nicely, but when I submit my graph api call:

[[myDelegate facebook] requestWithGraphPath:@"PAGE_ID/likes" 
                       andParams:[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                       [[myDelegate facebook] accessToken],@"access_token",nil],
                       andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:myDelegate];

(Note that PAGE_ID is the valid id of the page I'm trying to like)

the request fails and the NSError contains the message.

"(#3) Application does not have the capability to make this API call." of type "OAuth exception"

The permissions I asked for when authorizing were "publish_stream" and "offline_access". Should those be what I need to like a page? Am i perhaps buggering up submitting my access token?

Facebook just recently added this functionality. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/likes/

It appears this functionality is not supported. According to this bug report, the status is "CLOSED WONTFIX" without any real explanation from Facebook on why they are not supporting this.

I am facing the same problem. I see that your asked permissons are right and i dont know anything about object c but looks like my ActinScript method...

I think (i read it in lot of pages and posts) that the API doesnt let you like a page, but you can like coments and other things with id, but i am afraid that liking pages is maybe not imposible but not easy...
