I'm a Developer and have had a game app on Faceook for over a years. Yesterday it disappeared. How do I find otu what happened and how to restore it?
Usually when a Facebook app has been removed, it is due to a policy violation.
Make sure to check your email for any notices from Facebook.
If you do find your app has been disabled, you can try follow the steps from Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/help/155308851202619/
Quote from the above link:
Make sure you’re logged in to Facebook from your developer account.
Go to the email Facebook sent you when your app was restricted and click the link to appeal. If you can’t find this email, you can visit the Appeal Page on the Developer app.
Make sure you’re seeing information about the app that was restricted, and follow the instructions on the Appeal Page. Our team will review your appeal and may grant you access to your app if it was erroneously removed or restricted. Please understand that not all appeals are granted.
Best of luck!

We understand that for Facebook to review apps, the app needs full functionality to be able to demonstrate the permissions needed through App Review.
In our case, we haven't started developing the app yet. Is there a way to contact the review team, explain our intended usage for the specific permission, know in advance that the app will pass, so that we can start programming knowing that when we will post for review, the app wont get rejected.
This could save a lot of time because If the App wont get accepted, the whole project can't continue.
Rather than rely on Facebook to give you an answer on your intended application flow and use of permissions (without Facebook being able to test and verify), you should consult the Platform Policy, Permissions and App Review documentation to see whether your idea or application is:
Allowed
Doesn't contravene any policy from Facebook
Uses the Facebook Platform & Permissions in the best possible way
If you app doesn't follow the policy and permission guidelines, you can be sure that Facebook will reject your app and won't grant you the required permissions. The documentation on Permissions is in particular useful to see where / when you are allowed to request such permission, and how it should be used.
If you can't justify why you need a particular permission, you won't get access to it.
Facebook will still need to use the application and see how it works before permissions are granted.
Some additional tips on passing the review process can be found on my blog.

This is not a programming-related question.
I am a project manager for a real estate management system that is being written in PHP/Laravel. We are trying to incorporate social aspects for our contact's profiles.
For example, if you know his twitter or instagram accounts, you could easily submit them while creating his account and on his profile page you could easily see what this contact has been up to on twitter or instagram. Sort of like keeping up to date with your client's social lives through social media.
Please understand that this is all done with consent. We wouldn't have his/her twitter account unless he/she had given it up in the first place.
The problem is with Facebook, and since most of our social engagement is through facebook this is starting to become a real issue.
As we know, you cannot grab a user's status unless you are friends with them. So if we added the facebook field in our RMS the same way we did with twitter and instagram, it wouldn't work because we're not friends with that client.
So I thought how about we create a personal account under our company's name, then we send a friend request to the contact. Once he approves, we can go back and edit his account on our RMS to include his facebook username... And I think now we will be able to see his latest facebook statuses.
I think that would work, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also if there's another way to do it, please enlighten me.
It's not true that you need to be friends with the specific user. The user needs to give an app of yours permission to access his data. Therefore, Facebook implements the OAuth protocol.
Have a look at the following resources:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/v2.0
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0

Well I found this app (just a demo app for sale)
http://apps.facebook.com/horoscope-demo/
But before buying I am confused with:
This app
Asks to post on wall at first use
Shows advertisement dialog at app entry
Shows send request dialog at entry
and also has auto daily post on the user's wall (after permission)
Is there any violations of facebook tos?
There were some rules not to show dialog, send request dialog as far as I remember.
plus
is auto wall posting(even after approval) still possible or allowed by facebook?
I didn't test the daily auto post but can it still do it?
Thanks for replies Fb app developers.
As fb developer these questions are pretty useful.

I have a gaming website which also has a facebook app for connecting through facebook.
I have offers and virtual currency for purchase, not with FB credits.
When the app is opened from facebook, it's connecting to the site but shows it in a canvas, as an ifram in Facebook.
I read that it is not allowed to monetize in facebook.com with anything other than FB credits, but i see sites like zoosk.com that have the same problem, but keep the monetization as it is, and you can buy things from them, while in the canvas/iframe.
Did zoosk.com break the FB law, or is there any workaround that they implemented so it'll work.
Also, Gameduell.com redirects immediately to their site when openning the app. it does not appear in the canvas. I read this is against the rules too. is it because it is opened in a new tab?
There are a few questions here, I'll try to address them all separately.
The rules around monetization and FB Credits are (for now) different for games and non-game apps, so Zoosk is not a useful point of comparison for you.
Currently it's possible to send a user to a separate site, but this is changing soon (see http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/08/29/platform-updates--operation-developer-love/ and https://developers.facebook.com/roadmap/#december-2012) - starting Dec. 5, not only are you no longer allowed to promote alternative (off-site) payment options from within FB, you won't even be allowed to use the same app ID for the game displayed on & off FB. So, you should probably consider offering FB credits as an option in the future, and in the meantime you might want to make a concerted effort to ensure your users are aware of the other payment options.
I'm not 100% sure on the latest rules w/ redirects like you say GameDuell uses, you'll have to research that more if you're unsure. I'd just add that unexpected redirects are harmful to the user experience, but only you can decide if doing it makes sense for your case.

I am currently trying to setup an Adsense account for a client so they can put ads on their website. This is a new site and it has been rejected by Google because they say it is a 'Login Only' website. Whilst the site does have the ability to register/login (and this is encouraged) all pages are accessible publically without registering but if you are logged in then they become more personalised (eg on the search results page it lists your distance to each users and related info like this if you're logged in). There are no pages on the site that can only be viewed while logged in. I understand GoogleBot can't tell this itself but what is the accepted way of getting around this?
I have read elsewhere recommendations to completely remove the login section from the site, resubmit it, wait for approval and then add the login options again, however this seems like Google may think we're trying to hoodwink them (which we're not) and i don't want to get his account blocked for doing anything bad. We can obviously add login information within the site authentication section of Adsense which would presumbly solve the problem and allow GoogleBot to see behind the login but this can't be done until the account is activated which seems rather contradictory. I wonder if I add the site to my Adsense account, add authentication information so it can crawl it and then resubmit will this work? Alternatively we could set him up Adsense on a completely different site, get the account approved then add the authentication information but this seems like an extremely long winded way of setting it up.
I would greatly appreciate information as to how this should be dealt with in a proper and correct manner so as to not cause problems in the future.
Thanks very much,
Dave
