Facebook feed dialog who will see - facebook

I'm developing an site which uses Facebook Feed dialog. I'm wondering about the sandbox mode. If i turn that of (go live with the app/disbable) will there be any notification in my news feed/timeline?
I have to know since i want to test it before going public and making people aware of the app.

If you go to your Facebook App settings, it it said for the "Sandbox mode":
if enabled, only app developers will be able to use app
If you deploy your application on live your should disable the sandbox mode. This mode is only for allowing developers to test.

problems with Facebook share button

The goal is to use facebook share button.
"App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions."
This is a message when I want to login with other than my app account. When I login with my app account I can use the button otherwise not. Is it because I use test apps delails? When I use my original website app id it gives the same message. In settings it is available to public. Test application is in development mode, it doesnt change to available to public. Should I remove test version or?
Thanks in advance.
Your application is in development and no one user can use this application except developers and organizers. You can see list of all people who can use your app at menu item "Roles" at application dashboard. To make your application available to other people make next steps:
Go to app dashboard at facebook -> Settings -> set contact email -> App Review -> swith first slider to YES position.
After this manipulations other people can login to your app correctly.

can people see Facebook IOS app on their facebook?

I've created an IOS app as a Facebook Developer. So my question:
Are people able to see the app when they go into their Facebook - like in the Browser? Or are Facebook IOS apps only something that you can see in the actual app on the iphone/iPad that I'm creating?
Depending on whether the Facebook developer configured a canvas facing site will show what the end user will see.
Any application made by a third party once set to public in app settings can be viewed by anyone.
If you app is made for iOS then either the user will see a misconfigured webpage or dialog asking whether the user wants to send to mobile. All of this of course depends on how the the developer of the application sets everything.
See the documentation for detailed information

Facebook API "This app is in development mode"

What does "development mode" mean for a facebook app? I find no exact explanation of what I can and can't do while in development mode and what's the relation with the "Not available to all users because your app is not live".
Some people also refer to it as "Sandbox mode" so I have a lot of confusion between "development mode", "sandbox mode", "live vs not available to general public"
I know its a little bit late but someone may find this useful in future.
STEP 1:
Login to facebook Developer -> Your App
In Settings -> Basic -> Contact Email. (Give any email)
STEP 2:
And in 'App Review' Tab : change
Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public? Yes
And you app will be live now ..
Click app review and Turn on the Make your app Public toggle. Save changes
This problem occurs when we set our app as unavailable to the public.
STEP 1
Open Facebook developer account
https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2Ffacebook-login%2Fios
STEP 2
Select your application
STEP 3
Click the app Review tab.
Change switch value no to yes. See picture below.
After this your app is live.
Development mode is for testing
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps, then App Review -> Select No for Your app is in development and unavailable to the public
Go to Roles -> Testers, enter the Facebook user Id of the users you want to enable testing
Follow these basic steps to fix this problem,
Step 1: Go to Dashboard,
Step 2: Go to "App Review" tab,
Step 3: Enable the "Make test public?" option, Like Below image,
I had also faced the same issue in which my FB app was automatically stopped and users were not able to login and were getting the message "app is in development mode.....".
Reason why FB automatically stopped my app was that I had not provided a valid PRIVACY policy & terms URL. So, make sure you enter these URLs on your app basic settings page and then make your app PUBLIC from app review page as described in above posts.
in your app dashboard check status to on
for testing purposes only you could Go to your facebook developer dashboard.
create your app then in the top left corner open the apps dropdown menu and click create test app take the app ID and use instead.
I have the same problem while integrating the Facebook SDK for login.
I'm suggesting below approach for development mode > you can test all things if you are login with same account, which is used for 'developers.facebook.com' and if you want to use another accounts then you need to add Roles for that particular app, for that you can add developer or testers by using fid or facebook username.
Eg: - Select the particular app > Roles and then add developer or testers.

Facebook connect can my website be in "Sandbox mode" and still work in production?

Facebook Connect is working for my website in development and I am able to login but I am wondering if that is just because I am listed as a developer for the application? Must I submit the website for review before I deploy to production or can I deploy it and people will be able to login?
Thanks!
Being listed as a developer allows you to test the app in Sandbox mode. Other users can't see or use anything of your app when it's in Sandbox mode. Disabling Sandbox mode makes it "live" for all users, so no review is required. However, when you use the Open Graph Protocol, you must submit your stories for review before users will be able to use them.

How to go to my new Facebook App

I'm testing out writing mobile web app that connects to Facebook.
I follow this guide here and created a app on facebook, and uploaded the code to my own server.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/web/
But then, I got to the point where it tells me to search for my own app in facebook.com. My app won't show up, and I found out they won't until you have some users and then it'll be indexed.
So how do I get to my app?
Thanks
You might have your app settings (on the advanced screen: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APPID/advanced) set to either sandbox mode enabled or Social discover disabled.
