This is driving me insane and I had it working b4 but I forgot what I need to enter...After I F5 a C# Azure Mobile Service, I go to the URI using a browser and it shows me the initial test page stating "This mobile service is up and running." Clicking the "Try it out link" pops a login dialog. Where do I get these values????
User name can be anything, password is the application key or master key from the config page in the portal. I believe you can lock it down as well, to just master key / no access if desired, but don't remember off the top of my head.
Phillipv is right, except when I first tried to do this I used usernames like "admin" or blank. For some reason that didn't work. I used "asd" and it did work. That makes absolutely no sense to me with my current understanding of my set up but I just thought I would mention it in case someone else had a similar issue.

I'm trying to deeplink users into my facebook messenger bot, and I need to pass some data in at the same time. Supposedly this can be done by using m.me links, along with a query param.
My bot's page is https://www.facebook.com/Willy-1610141399078870/
The m.me url would be something like this. https://m.me/Willy-1610141399078870?ref=somedatagoeshere
The m.me link works to a degree on desktop, but the data isn't passed to the bot. I don't particularly need it to work on desktop.
However, when I try to open that link on ios or android, I get an error message.
Android
This user name doesn't exist. Try another code or link
iOS
Username was not found
The bot hasn't been published yet, so it won't be visible to anyone else. I need to be able to test this functionality before I publish, so I hope that's not what is causing the failure.
Has anyone else been able to use this feature?
It seems that the facebook-generated username can't be used for m.me links. It requires you to register an explicit username.
My page's generated name was Willy-1610141399078870, so https://m.me/Willy-1610141399078870 wasn't a valid url.
To register a username for your page, go to your page > About > Create Page #username.
Then, you can attempt to pick a username that isn't already taken. Somehow, #willy-the-test-page is already taken (?), so I got this incredibly confusing error message:
Taking the error message at face value, I decided to create another page and try again. This time, realizing that the message didn't mean what it said. Picking an available username clears the error message, and allows registration.
Just kidding! It will tell you again that the page isn't eligible.
The solution was to create a totally new page, and go through the #username creation flow again. It worked for me on the second attempt.
It's rumored that a page needs at least 25 likes to become eligible for an #username, but this isn't true in all cases.
I am trying to create a facebook application and this is my first time. I read several articles on how to create one and I created an application from this page https://developers.facebook.com/apps. When I clicked on Go to App from facebook right after I created it. It is showing this error
I have tried to look on Heroku dev center for same type of problem to resolve problem on my own I couldn't find any solution. When I do curl -v https://tranquil-oasis-2533.herokuapp.com it says HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. This is the output from heroku logs http://pastebin.com/0qdueiZE. Somebody please help me.
This appears to be an issue with the faceplate module. It is described here: https://github.com/heroku/faceplate/pull/20
You have two options to get around the issue:
Propose a fix to faceplate that works within the constraints of the Facebook application security here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ApplicationSecurity/
Take your Facebook app out of sandbox mode.
This seems to be issue with sandbox mode. Disable sandbox mode. Here is the steps how you can do it.
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps.
click "Edit Settings"
and selected radio button "disabled" for the "Sanbox Mode" under "basic info".
Hope this helps.
The error message points to what needs to be known
Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
<title><%= app.name %></title>
app is undefined. Probably want to check your web.js file to see what app is up to.
And ensure you have the latest node template for Heroku.
https://github.com/heroku/facebook-template-nodejs
My guess is that you aren't passing app as a local to the index.ejs template. If you're using Express, console.log(res.locals) before you res.render index.ejs. Is app in the logged output?
I am trying to set up a tab with a link to a contact form from my site on Facebook.
I developed the 'app' through the developers site and have set up the page tab.
I've saved the app and it saves it fine (displaying a message saying changes were saved but it might take some time to propagate across all servers.)
Well I waited an hour and I still can't add the tab to my page. I tried locating the app page directly using the namespace, but I get an error message saying:
"[My App] cannot be displayed because the app is misconfigured."
I don't know how it is misconfigured? There are no errors when saving, so I don't know what the issue is or how to go about fixing it. There are no problems with the app that I can see... how am I supposed to know what's wrong with it?
All it is is a page tab. I've put the link to the page tab in, I don't have a secure page (https) so I have left this box blank but I don't know what to do now.
Any ideas how I can find out in what way it is 'misconfigured'?
This error usually occurs when you try to view the App Center page for the app when the app doesn't have the 'App Details' tab settings populated.
So instead of:
https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/APP_NAMESPACE
Make sure you are loading:
https://apps.facebook.com/APP_NAMESPACE
That page will display hints (if you are admin or developer of the app) on what you are missing.
And, adding to the answer already given by #Donn Lee, which pointed to the right way, you must also ADD A PLATFORM in settings, in https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP-ID/settings/
I give my production server IP address as App domain in facebook application but it's not saved. It returns error as App domain is not valid. So that I cannot use my facebook connect API.
Can we give IP address as App domain in FB application? If it's not, what is the other way to do?
No, it looks like the app domain can only be a domain and not an ip address.
For example in the app settings page, near the App Domain hover the '?' and see:
Enable auth on domains and subdomain(s)
Also, I found this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appproperties/ it refers to the REST api and so it's not that up to date, but it clearly states there that there are two different properties: base_domain(s) and ip_list.
I suggest that you try to put a normal domain and see what happens.
All Wrong answers. Here is the true
You must click (+ add platform)
then Select Platform choose app I select website the planet icon
Enter
Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
Mobile Site URL http://www.yoursitehere.com
go back and enter in App Domains: yoursitehere.com
now click save
go to Status and Review
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?
change or move to (YES)
This is what I found works.
From the Facebook development page "Apps-YourAppName", click on Basic in the LEFT Nav.
There are 3 sections on this page: Basic Info, Cloud Services, and "Select how your app integrates with Facebook"
In the Select how your app integrates with Facebook section, select "Website"
Enter your fully qualified domain name in the Site URL dialog box. Example: http://www.mydomain.com OR http://mydomain.com (my site does not include the www so I didn't add it).
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
Now, in the Basic Information section at the top of this screen, you can now add your App Domain. This should be formatted as mydomain.com. Do not add "http://" and do not add "/" at the end of the domain name.
NOTE: My site does not use the www, so I cannot confirm that it's required in Step #6. Try it both ways if you're unsure.
At the bottom of the page click the "Save Changes" button. You may receive a notice that it may take several minutes to blah blah blah....but you can continue with the next steps immediately.
At this point the error was NOT displayed as it was before.
Hope this helps!
One solution to getting over the problem of using an IP address as a valid domain is to use: xip.io
xip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS
for any IP address
Simply add .xip.io after your url and use this as the domain name. Perfect for me as I do my development on a virtual machine!
If you don't have a domain (only the IP) just leave the "App Domains" field in blank. It works! =)
This, IMHO, is Facebook's fault as the error message is really confusing and makes you think only domains are allowed.
Hope it helps someone! =)
I have just created a new facebook application to use in a page tab. When I check for the signed_request it is empty.
So I checked another app that I have done in the past. It is on the same server and the only difference in the setup is the dir name.
http://example.com/app1/ works
and
http://example.com/app2/ doesn't
So I tried swapping the tab URLs in the apps over and app1 still works with app2s URL.
This lead me to believe there must be a problem with the way I have set up the application.
So I went through all the settings and made sure they were the same. They all are, except there are 2 that are not available on the app I just setup. They are "Encrypted Access Token" and "Requests 2.0 efficient" neither of which seem to relate to the problem.
I seem to remember in the past there was an option to pass through the signed request to canvas page, but I can no longer find it.
Has signed request been deprecated? I couldn't see any mention of that in the docs.
Any help/comment appreciated. Otherwise I am going to have to go back and re-use old apps with new content in them, and I only have about 15 more before I run out.
Cheers
Alex
No, it wasn't deprecated.
There can be 2 issues that could cause this
You must have a trailing slash or a specific file on your page tab url.
http://myapp.com/app/
http://myapp.com/app/index.php
Your server for the second app is redirecting the request which causes it to lose the POST variables.
You should check if there aren't any redirects which usually occur form mod_rewrite. (.htaccess and such)
This seems to have been resolved now, I can no longer replicate it with new applications.
