What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried adding that single line to a new, empty project with just a script? I just tried that and it works fine in a macOS editor build as well as html5.

Yes. You are right. It works fine as simple html5 app.

We have a problem when we run the HTML5 app as published Facebook instant game.

Are there any ways to solve this problem?

Pls, read guidelines of Instant Games:

Your game should not:
Link outside to any other website or app. The only exception is linking to a privacy policy page.

Yes. We need a link to a privacy policy page.

You can have a link visible in your app without it actually being clickable. For example, I put it on my splashpage

publisherdomain .com/privacy
