What is the different between flag and report in ios app? - app-store

I submitted an ios app to app store, the review team request me to implement a flag button and report button on images which users post. I'm not clear what flag button should to do? What is the different between flag button and report button?
Thanks,

It's basically the same. As your app contains user generated content, you need to have a way for users to report inappropriate content, which you then should remove, if it's indeed not "allowed". It's basically a "Report" button similar as seen on YouTube or every other social network.
It does not really matter how you call the button/link etc.

Can't submit Facebook Request for App Review - form has unticked criteria

I'm using a plugin (xyzscripts) in wordpress to automatically make a facebook post when I add a blog item to the website.
I need to create a Facebook App to be able to authorise the plugin to be able to this (to login to my facebook admin account and select the page it's to be posted onto from within wordpress)
The instructions have been fine so far and I'm at the stage of submitting the app for review by facebook but the application form needs to be classed as 'complete' before it can be submitted and there are 2 tickboxes which are not ticked and I'm not sure how to get them to tick?! It's not a tickbox that I can select, it seems facebook validates whether the criteria is complete based on the form, so although I think it's complete facebook doesn't and I'm not sure what else to add to make those tickboxes tick... in order to be able select 'submit for review'.
There's a screenshot linked to below showing what I'm referring to, of the tickboxes which aren't ticked.
Has anyone had this problem? Can the form see whats in the video and it already thinks it's not good enough? I have included the words 'pages_manage_posts' and 'pages_read_engagement' in the text describing why the app needs these permissions as I thought that might be a validating factor but nope, still no tick.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

You need to add the actual permissions to your submission, not just “mention” them.
Go to this section in your app dashboard, and click the “request” button next to those two permissions:

Page show up in the Apps Panel

I a have a facebook app, however it does not show up in the Apps listing at all (of users who have already approved the permissions). How do I make my App show up as an "App" so users can add it to there sidebar? Is there a way to prompt users to make my App one of their favorites?
First question: Why is my App not showing up at all as an App?
Second Question: How can I get my App placed on a user's side bar, in the "Apps" panel list?

First: Since July 2010 bookmarks are added automatically for apps a user has interacted with there is no facility to manually add bookmarks (look here and also
look here under Bookmarks for quick re-engagement)
Second: I remember that I managed once to have the bookmark automatically added using an authentication process like desribed in the update of this question. However I'm not sure whether this will work for your app.

Add comments or stars to my app in iTunes

I want to show an alert in my app so that user can either make comments or give stars to the app on iTunes.
Is it possible. ?
You should try the Appirater plugin for you application. This gives you the possibility to:
Show a popup to rate your app after a predetermined number of sessions
Create a button or link to send the user to the App Store page to rate the app.
Integrating the plugin is really easy, and fully documented on the GitHub website.
Let me know if this helps!
P.S. I made a localized version of the plugin through this pull request

UI for rating an app during deletion

Is that possible pop up the UI which comes during the deletion process before deleting the app ? (A UI which has stars, no thanks, rate my app button).
If no, can you tell me whether it is possible to create a screen and send the rating captured to iTunes connect ?
As other people said, your best option is to send people to the review/ratings page on iTunes.
The best open source solution I found for this is Appirater.
I use it in my apps and it works great + it generates many reviews.
You can configure when the popup should show. It basically looks like this:
(source: arashpayan.com)
It was created by Arash Payan, visit his page about Appirater with all the information.
This form always pops up if you delete an app on your iPhone. I don't think you can grab personal ratings out of iTunes but once you gather a sufficient number of votes you'll see the details on your app iTunes page.
You cannot present this UI yourself—it's handled by the OS. You can, however, direct your users to your app's rating page in the App Store app by opening an appropriate iTunes store URL, as documented in the “Heading straight to a review form” section of this article.

Facebook Sidebar/Tab Applications

Been searching the FB documentation to find an answer for this, but have been unsuccessful.
Is an application able to appear as a tab on a page/profile, and also in the sidebar of that same page/profile?
So the tab would show the full application details, but the sidebar would give a small breakdown.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Pages and profiles are different. You didn't used to be able to have a profile box and a tab for one application, but Facebook recently changed this. Probably because they stated the profile boxes are going away.
Adding an application as a tab on a Profile has always been a bit problematic and convoluted. The user had to click on the "+" tab, and your app may or may not appear under the list and/or come up in the search. However, 2 weeks ago Facebook announced support for an "add as tab" button.
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:add-profile-tab
Note that a user cannot add your application as a "profile box" until you have posted content to their profile (profile.setFBML) to be displayed in the box. The you can use the fb:add-section-button tag to display the "Add to Profile" button in your application. Box content is cached, so every time you want to update the content you need to post it to Facebook.
Adding an app as a tab to a Page has always been fairly easy. Go to the apps facebook page (not the app) and click on the "Add to My Page" link in the top left.
Profile Boxes (and the corresponding Boxes Tab) are gone.
The replacement for both of these is Application-Specific Tabs. You are no longer able to push content directly to a user's profile.
james, it is possible. just started developing fb apps three days ago. so far my app sits in my tabs and in my profile box, displaying different infos.

try this.
Ah interesting, found Developer Roadmap and basically lays out that what I am asking to do, won't be possible for much longer. Unfortunate, but I guess answers why I am finding it rather hard to do.
