My Facebook app has been removed twice from my developer account and my page for non-compliance with facebook guidelines. The first reason invoked was "Give users control over what they share through your app." My voting application shares a message on the timeline of the user for every vote and we have set the right permission for this.
I don't really have any explanation for this situation, especially as I have already launched several applications of this type.
It has happened to me many times already, Facebook is getting more strict with the Privacy Policy compliance.
You can solve this by using the Javascript API to give the user an option to share your content via Facebook's Share Popup instead of forcing the action.
Hope this helps!
I faced the same situation and what i did was i changed the way of sharing. Before sharing anything the user was presented with a preview window and in that contents to be shared was shown and the content will get shared only once the user clicks Submit.
This solved the problem.
Thanks

I am trying to send a link to the review section on the FB app so someone can leave a review for the business page.
This link opens the businesses app page but would like to structure it so it automatically opens the leave review section.
Any suggestions to ad something to the end of this URL to make this happen?

This is not supported. People have found ways to work around this, but it's not guaranteed to work and not officially supported.
When a user is not logged in and they navigate to a page tab made with our app, they get an obtrusive dialog asking them to log in:
This has nothing to do with http vs https, the app is not in sandbox mode, there is nothing in the tab asking for a login or user information, etc. I've gone through the app settings at least a half dozen times now, and nothing is wrong there. Aside of urls, the settings are identical to another app I have that does not suffer from this problem. I'm stumped!
Edit: here is an affected tab: https://www.facebook.com/StaticHtmlThunderpenny/app_203351739677351
This message is not about login to your app, but Facebook in general.
So my guess would be that the page your app is installed as page tab app on is restricted in some way – by age, location, or for having alcohol-related content. And then of course Facebook asks for login, because otherwise they can not determine whether or not the (as of now still “anonymous”) user qualifies to see the page.
So go check the page settings.
This is actually not app related question.
This is thumb rule!! To access any app on Facebook, you need to log in to Facebook. You can see Facebook page without log in. But for facebook apps, you should be authentic user.
with this issue in my own experience that I came across some years back with a facebook app that I was running, if this doesn't relate to any of your other social networking apps then am aligning two set of possibilities and solution.
The user might have not properly logged out as "written" in the app for the users logout stage.
Solution would be that the user logout as expected before closing the app.
The user might have set up an automatic login prompt which was removed by the app when it was been updated automatically. (If you do get me???)
Solution would be to monitise your app on updates and login informations or better still just login and logout ask intended by the app and for security reasons.
Lastly I would say that automatic bookmark database should be added to the server part so current pages as the user uses the app would be saved after logout or login stage. Thank you, hope this helps and if not let me know what am missing.
I want to create an app that simply allows a user to log in, touch a like button, and then the app logs them out. I am wondering if this type of app would be allowed by Facebook, since the main functionality is all Facebook related. The app would be used by business to help them increase their Facebook page following. Is this allowed?
Yes, you are. Pratically every like button you see in blog posts and product pages in online stores works like that (except for the logout).
I have created a Facebook application that I don't want to use anymore. I deleted it from my developer account and from the related Facebook page more than a week ago but it still appears in the Facebook search engine.
I know similar questions have been posted, but I have no longer access to the admin of this application, meaning I can't change the user accessibility of the app.
How can I avoid this?
Sounds like a bug by Facebook. You might want to post a bug report here. A solution which might help next time: Switch on the sandbox mode, then delete the app.
I've been trying to get this to work for a while, but I've apparently missed something.
All I want is to have the latest 3 or so posts from my clients Facebook page to populate and animate in a screensaver that I am building using Flash (AS3).
So far, every time I try to bring anything in, it requires a complete oAuth login and account link, but it's only a one way exchange (read-only, absolutely no writing, posting or even linking, since it's a screensaver) I'm not even sure the client wants pictures or anything.
I am currently trying to use the facebook-actionscript-api, but there isn't an option for the "App Login" type of Authentication that would solve most of my problems.
I'm at wits end and about to have to tell my client it can't be done. At least they'll always have twitter...
I don't think it is possible to get facebook feeds without an accesstoken (even if they are public). So I guess you need to define an app within Facebook and add login stuff to your app so users can give permission to your app for basic access.
