So I recently made Penn State Worthington Scranton's Facebook page.
I added a page tab app called "PSWS Social Media Hub".
It shows up for me when I am logged in, but it doesn't show up for anyone who is just searching for the page. How can I get it to show up for everyone else?
Thank you in advance!
Questions:
Have you put the app live?
Have you created the App Details page?
Is it a canvas app?
The docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/appcenter#creating are stating
We encourage all developers to create an App Details page so that the app appears in search and can be made eligible for listing in the App Center.
For Canvas apps, apparantly 10 MAUs are neccessary to be shown in the search results (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/canvas#search):
When your app exceeds 10 monthly active users it will be automatically queued to be included in the search index the next time we rebuild our search index (we rebuild every 2-4 weeks). After the index is rebuilt your app will be discoverable via Search.

As the creator of a canvas app on facebook I have been able to add the app to one of my pages. However the public can not see it on my page and other page owners are met with an error message when provided with the link (https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=112111718948734&display=popup&next=https://dry-savannah-3512.herokuapp.com/) to add it to their page.
The app's status is:
"App Detail Page Status: Live
Your app detail page is now live and will appear in Search.
App Center Listing Status: Unlisted
Your app is not listed because it does not have enough high ratings and user engagement to be listed in the App Center at this time. Please refer to your app's Insights page to view your app's user rating and engagement metrics, and view our App Center guidelines for more information."
Will this error go away if I link a bunch of people to use the app? How many would that need be?
Thanks
Chris
Are you sure the app isn't in Sandbox Mode? This is by far the most likely reason a page tab would be visible to the page admins but not other users.
Next most likely is the app which runs the page tab being restricted by age or location; the admins will still see if even if they don't meet the restrictions
I have the following case:
My client already has a facebook page with timeline and a decent amount of likes.
My job is to integrate facebook comments and facebook like to their website. For this I need an App ID, which I can easily get by creating a new app on developers.facebook.com
What I want is to somehow connect this app to the client's page so;
it shows up on their insights report
maybe likes and interactions get connected to the client's page instead of an app
I have already spent many hours trying to get this to work, but I don't yet see a way.
I can imagine that when I create a new App and then add a page to that app I have them connected. Though my client's company isn't an "app", it's a real-world business. Also, this way my clients loses all their likes on their current page.
Please help me figuring out the right way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
If you have a Pretty URL, you can go to http://graph.facebook.com/{yourpagename}. The App ID of the page will be right there at the top. If you do NOT have a Pretty URL for the page, the App ID of the page is the number at the very end of its URL.
There's no way to link an existing app and page (by 'link' i mean mark the page as being the page which represents that app) - you can of course install an app on to your page as a tab, or use an app to manage the page and post updates, etc, the documentation for both of which is on the main developer site
Login to your page >> Click on Settings > Click on Apps from left panel > Select your page app >> Go to the bottom
Here you can find User ID
I developed a Facebook app for my company. My app has over 10 monthly users, so I thought this was just a delay with FB rebuilding their search index. However, my app went live in February, and it still doesn't show up in the search. People can, however, play the game by using the canvas URL.
Also, users who have already added my app can find it in the FB search, just not any new players.
Sandbox mode is disabled.
Is there another setting somewhere that I need to change in order to make the app searchable?
Any other suggestions? I'm all Googled out. :(
The app needs to have had over 10 MAU for between 2 and 4 weeks before the search index is rebuilt to include your app; this is mentioned on the main Apps on Facebook documentation:
When your App reaches 10 monthly active users it will be automatically queued to be included in the search index the next time we rebuild our search index (we rebuild every 2-4 weeks). After the index is rebuilt your app will be discoverable via Search.
I have developed a Facebook app and associated with the page. I don't have the 'sandbox' checked. However I don't see the app in the Search-box. Do I have to wait certain days for the app to appear in 'search'? I scoured the documentation but I didn't find an answer (the link the document mentions is not present!). Also, I don't see a 'Submit' button mentioned by other questions either. Any input appreciated.

Facebook now indexes apps automatically once they have 10 users, the search index is rebuilt every 2-4 weeks, this was announced here: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/565
My new App dosent show up in search, and on the app profile page it wont show the "go to app" button
i did create the app on a https (secure) canvas page, but it just wont work properly, also my app is coded to post to the users wall, but it's not posting to walls. Can facebook have removed my app wall posting rights? can it have to do with that i use a new app i setup before you had to verify your facebook accounts to create apps? i havent verifyed my account. Can that be it? please i really need your help!
You say it's a new app, so it likely hasn't been submitted to search because you either don't have 10 active users yet, or Facebook hasn't rebuilt their index to include your app yet.
"We have removed the “Submit to Search" link from the app settings
page. Now, when your app reaches 10 monthly active users it will be
queued to be indexed the next time we rebuild our index (we rebuild
every 2-4 weeks). If you already have 10 monthly active users it will
be added to the indexing queue immediately."
