    This is the expected behavior if attempting checkApp without an app secret; the checkApp method validates the app key and secret by calling /2/check/app which uses "App Authentication", which does require the app key and secret. So, that will fail without the app secret.

    If you want to check the validity of the access token, use checkUser instead.

Manually calling checkAndRefreshAccessToken will also get the access token but it still returns the same error when calling checkApp
