Our company's Facebook app was deleted mistakenly by an employee. It was the kind of app that appears inside Facebook. We were using it's AppId for the "Login with Facebook" purposes. And it was deleted using Facebook's control panel.
This is not about a rewrite, we have not lost any code. We have lost the login ids of the already present clients. They are not able to login now. Even if we create a new app, that would not help to get existing clients back. They would need to again create account and all the past information would be lost.
Can you please help us to recover it?
Fortunately, the developer facebook app which was deleted by mistake has been recovered. I found this link which contained my deleted apps:
https://developers.facebook.com/appeal/
It showed me an option to restore the app. I pressed the restore button, then facebook send a confirmation email to the registered email id. Once I clicked the confirm button in that email, I got my facebook developer app back.

So I've seen many related questions but they all date from years ago (Facebook SDK changes constantly) and mine is more specific.
I'm building a web app which requires authentication and Facebook API is one of its auth solutions and I'm trying to catch some scenarios. So as I asked earlier, what happens when someone removes my app from Facebook via the "Apps and websites" settings and tries to reconnect in my app ?
It might seem obvious to some that the user wouldn't get logged in because as far as I know in 2021, FB SDK uses an app specific ID for each user which gets generated when logging in for the first time and is useless when the user removes the app from his settings because there's no more mapping between the ID and the user.
But I've experienced in an app that I used (ometv kinda similar to omegle) that they log you in even after you delete them from the Facebook settings.
Thanks for considering my question.
EDIT: This is the edge case that I'm referring to from facebook dev
Someone removes your app from Facebook via app settings and revisits your app. Your app should detect this and prompt the person
to log back in. Go to your app and tap on the "Log in with Facebookâ
button Tap OK to accept the read permissions (and OK again to accept
write permissions where applicable) Go to app settings on Facebook and
remove your app Repeat steps 1-2 and verify that Facebook Login works
A more specific question that I might ask would be whether or not a user can bypass this behavior ?
Our team is building an app that has Facebook login requirement (in addition to other oauth/identity providers such as LinkedIn, Google, end so on).
The app is obviously in the sandbox mode, so in order to develop/play with it, it requires developer accounts for each team member, otherwise login flow just fails.
My problem is that, as an app "owner" I don't see a way how to register developers or testers that are not in my friend list. I tried to put an e-mail address of one of my colleagues that she is using for facebook account, but Facebook did not accept it with the message that user id could not be resolved. And I really do not want "to friend" with anyone. Making the app live is not an option either as it required review process, and we are pretty far from finishing this.
So is there any solution?
Update: Here is the error message shown to the user when she is not registered as a developer:
App Not Setup: The developers of this app have not set up this app
properly for Facebook Login.
Ok, figured it out. An app owner can use an alias that comes with the "facebook email" (whatever is in front of #facebook.com)
To access this special id, you need to go through the set of links:
Your profile page
Then click About
Then click "Contact and Basic info"
Then click on emails link to show your emails (emails hidden from Timeline)
Then find #facebook.com email and take the part before the # and use it
for registering
I want to integrate facebook api to help in the registration process in my website. It was working fine before - the standard fb login button appears, the pop-up window to login to fb was working, some of the user data are obtained. However after several trials with me modifying the code as the feature isnt fully integrated yet in my site, whenever I press the login button what replaces the fb login page is "This webpage is not available." I already retracted the modifications I made to the point that it was back to the version wherein it was working before. I also created another app and replaced the app id and secret key, still it displays the same message. I do not know what is wrong. Please help.
Update:
I uploaded the project files to another hosting site and it works! Could it be that the previous domain is now blocked?
Please read the other posts, dude... we're all waiting for the FB to fix the issue...

There is a difference between deleting and deactivating facebook accounts. You may be able to bypass this problem by deleting the account, rather than deactivating it. Note below.
How do I permanently delete my account?
If you deactivate your account, your timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests, etc.) in case you want to come back.
If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and fill out this form.

If this doesn't work, you can go to the Facebook Developers support:
https://developers.facebook.com/support/
This Stack forum Web Applications, may be more suitable for this type of question https://webapps.stackexchange.com/faq I tried searching it and could not find a similar question.
Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem.
Ok, so I'm using my personal Facebook account, that has a verified cell phone number. I can get to the App Dashboard page, and can click the "+Create a New App" button. I complete the dialog using a name that get's green lit, and click the submit button.
I wait for a few seconds and I'm dumped back to the main App Dashboard page - no new App exists.
This is a personal account and not a company account.
Still stuck on this problem - any chance I could get a FB Dev Support help with this?
I had the same problem and finally got this working. Curiously, visiting the Facebook Developer App page https://facebook.com/developers?ref=ts&fref=ts using IE and going to the app fixed the problem. Using Firefox resulted in an infinite redirect. All of the apps I created but couldn't see started showing up.
Maybe your account is too new. But usually you get an notice.
