facebookfacebook-graph-apiapp-secret

why do I get "Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument"

Since the latest change on Facebook, regarding the appsecret_proof: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/securing-graph-api/, we are still unable to download performance reports even after enabling/disabling features from Advanced Settings in our app, or apply the code as described in their document.

We are constantly getting this error:

{"error":{"message":"Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument","type":"GraphMethodException","code":100}}

and I've open a confidential bug but no one returns to me with an answer.

I really don't know what more could we try?
