I would like my assistant to fire up an app on the phone, is that possible?
The assistant does it when I ask it to call someone or sometimes it fires up the browser when I ask for something, will I be able to pass the user onto a web page without him needing to click the richCard?
Thanks
Currently not possible
Also excited for this feature

I want to link from my app into the Smart-Home-Control Screen of the Google Assistant App.
Unfortunately I do not find any documentation with these keywords.
Is it possible to do that?
I'm thinking off something like googleassistant://
If yes - how?
Thank you!
For conversational Actions, you can use Action links to guide users to the specified intent within your Action.
Not sure about direct link to the smart home control screen but these urls will launch the home app. You may be able to find and endpoint which shows this the control screen

Replace agentId with your action agent ID.

I am integrating Intercom into my website, but when a user loads the page, the chat window automatically opens up. I have gone through their documentation, adding things like Intercom('hide'), turning off and removing auto messaging, etc, but the messenger still opens up. I have reached out to their customer support (on their own chat app) and no one has responded back or reached out. Kind of bad UX to have it open without anyone clicking the chat button. Anyone know how to disable this feature?
The answer is in one of their guides Customize the Intercom Messenger (technical) rather than the technical documentation:
First, you’ll need to hide the Messenger for all of your customers. Just visit your Messenger settings and deselect the options for turning the Messenger on.
Next, you’ll need to think about which users you’d like to show the Messenger to (for example, your VIP customers).
Finally, add the hide_default_launcher attribute to your intercomSettings object on your site. The value of thehide_default_launcher attribute should be true or false, depending on if you want to hide or show the launcher.
So hide_default_launcher is the key.
You can go to App Settings > Messenger Settings section and blank Welcome Message:

I have developers working on the backend of my app using phonegap and once the user clicks facebook/twitter share a browser pops up and you can log in and share but after
that you cannot escape back to the app, if you get out of the apps altogether then try and return to my app you're right back at the facebook/twitter screen instead of in my app. This is only happening on iphon because on android they have a back button. The only way to get back into the app is to restart the iphone/ipod to get back to open
the app from beginning. I cannot have this as the only option for
people to share from my app as it would be horrible and could ruin my
app before I launch it. They say their is no way to fix it but Im sure its fixable so I am trying to get any info on this that I can.
The other issue is the facebook post itself. currently it post like this
Sent from Appname(with link to app)
www.appname
Text here
but this is kinda counter intuitive because the actual message should
be on top otherwise it will get lost in the other text. They said
this is the only way facebook allows it. Is it possible to get it like this
Text here
Sent from appname(linke here)
www.appname.com
Again any help on these two issues would be great so I can pass the
info to my developers.
I need to post a user-specific text, determined by him, on his wall/timeline when he presses a button (in facebook's tutorial, they make the user login when the app launches, and then it does nothing).
There is a lot of information on the internet but every site does it in other way.
Just wanted to know if there's a specific way to do it.
Thanks!
A quick easy way to add facebook to your app is ShareKit (http://www.getsharekit.com/). This also allows you to add other social network site to your app.
You might want to try Socialize: http://www.GetSocialize.com. It'll allow app users to comment & like within the app, with the option of also sharing out to a social network (Facebook currently live; Twitter coming). Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features

I want to develop a facebook app. The only thing I want to know is will this (the fact that I am developing an app) be shared to my friends? If yes how can I disable that?
I don't really understand your question - what exactly do you think would be shared with your friends?
Unless you post something from your app there's no way for a third party to even know that it exists, let alone who runs it. Even the app's info page won't show the developer info unless they choose to enable that.
There's also test accounts you can create via the app edit interface or API ( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/test_users/ ) to test the app without using your own
{edit} Also, as Derek says, you can use sandbox mode while testing so the app and its content aren't visible to anyone except the admins, developers and test users{/edit}
You can enabled "Sandbox mode" which should disable all notifications and public access to your app.
