Sharepoint 2013 provider hosted app using Profile Service getting an errorwhile checking prerequisites for an app

Question

Interestingly I am able to install the app on mysites but not on a different publishing portal site. When I try to add it I get the following meesage Sorry, this app is not supported on your server.

The app tries to call UserProfile Service. The appmanifest.xml has the following permissions

AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/social/tenant" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/social/core" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/social/microfeed" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" AppPermissionRequest

Welcome to StackOverflow! Could you make the effort to format the stacktrace, so that it's more readable? — Alexis Pigeon

I changed the permissions to the following and it is working now. It appears that it was not finding some social list in the site ( publishing site)

AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true" 
AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web" Right="FullControl"
AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="FullControl" 
AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/social/tenant" Right="Read" AppPermissionRequest
