The documentation and links out there on how to enable Facebook Sandbox mode seem to be out of date.
I don't see the radio button in my Settings > Advanced.
Even this is different https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/bestpractice/managing-development-cycle/
It’s on the “Status & Review” tab now and called “Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?”

I want to get approval for my app id only for the like and share buttons of facebook but it seems that it got more complicated then before.
When I go to my app then javascript sdk to create the code of javascript for my site it shows
This app is in Development Mode and not available publicly.
Modo público can be enabled in the App Dashboard.
So then I go to the app dashboard and it is asking a lot of information I don't have because it's only to have the like button in my site I don't want to read more likes of users.
So anyone can help me to find the right way to do this.
The only thing you should have to fill in to make the app public is the Contact Email on the main Settings page:

Found this thread whilst having the same problem. In addition to infused's post, you have to go to "status and review" and turn "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?" to Yes.
Furthermore, I noticed that removing the app id (as per the code you get if you are not logged in and go to the plugin generator page), then the code does not work at all.
Also, if the app is not set as live, then it will still sometimes work - just to make things harder to debug.
I can't find the setting to turn the sandbox mode on/off within a new Facebook application I just created. Does something else have to be turned on or off in order for me to see this setting?
You may need to enter your contact email address under settings section.
You can disable sandbox by going to "Status and Review" in the option panel on the left, and then click "yes" for the question "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?"
It's easy!!
first: Enter your email in the section[Settings]
second: Activate/Deactivate with option[Yes/No] save this changes in the section[Status & Review]
third: confirm your changes in the section[Dashboard]
Good Luck
I found that the process for toggling a live Facebook app was moved to the "App Review" sidebar link.
There should be a question that reads "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?"
Just like before you need a valid contact email associated before the toggle switch will work. The email field is located under the "Settings" sidebar link.
As of 2018-05-29 I can see that after filling all necessary info and toggling the button I get a server http error 500.
Probably a facebook issue.
Does anyone know if there is an (undocumented?) field/property in graph api I can use to disable sandbox mode for an app?
I have checked https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/application/ and googled my eyeballs sore, but can't find anything, is this only available from the app settings panel on developers.facebook.com/apps?
No, there is no undocumented/documented property for this. You must enable/disable manually from your app settings.
I'm wondering how to hide a Facebook tab from a published fanpage while the tab is under development, so that it only appears for page Admins?
In order to edit tabs it seems that they have to be added to the page, in order to be able to edit them. That's a problem when customizing a Facebook tab, as you don't want your fans to see your work-in-progress content until it's ready to be published.
Here I'm not referring to a custom built app, but apps like Static HTML.
Any one who has experience with this?
Enable sandbox mode in the app settings.
Goto dev https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Click on the app in the left hand column.
Under setting look to see if Sandbox mode is on or off.
If you want to change the setting click "Edit Settings"
The Sandbox setting is under basic settings.
For you and the client to test the app you have to give them permissions by adding them as a tester/developer/admin of the app. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ApplicationSecurity/
I'm new to Facebook app development and I ran into a stupid issue:
I made a simple app consisting of a flash player embedded in an iframe stored on my server and then I added it (as a tab) to a Facebook Event page I also created.
My problem is that the iframe will only load the page's content if the user's role is mapped in the app settings; it works fine for me since I'm the administrator and I believe my test users can also see it quite well, but for everyone else the iframe is blank.
Any ideas on how to make it visible for everyone?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like your app is in Sandbox Mode. If it is, you're right - only Admin, Devs, and Testers will be able to use / see the app. If you want everyone to see it, disable Sandbox Mode:
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
Select your app and then Edit Settings
Settings > Advanced
In Authentication section, set Sandbox Mode to Disabled
