How to restore deleted facebook app? - facebook

One of my admin has deleted the application. Is there any way to restore it? How can I contact with facebook's developers?

You can recover the deleted facebook app by requesting it by going in your developer account at https://developers.facebook.com/appeal/
If you are one of the admin of the app then you will see the deleted apps there. just click on restore and it will send an email to the administrator's contact email where they can restore it back!
Thanks

Sorry, but once the App is removed or deleted its permanent. You can't go back and recover it. Even when deleting the App same thing is also explicitly stated by Facebook
If you proceed, this app will be deleted. This operation cannot be
undone.

I got the same problem when my account was reported by someone. The Facebook app was temporarily deleted. Fortunately it all went fine when I restored the account from https://developers.facebook.com/appeal/ For this the email account set up with the app is required for receiving restore instructions.

itunes Connect test flight beta - no app for download

I have an app in iTunes connect that I'm beta testing with external users. Some invited testers are not seeing any app available for download in iTunes connect. What could be causing this? Thanks.
I have seen this where iTunesConnect shows the user has not accepted the invite to join (I don't know whether the user did not, or that ITC has the user in the wrong state). It seems that they still get the messages about new builds, but can't install them. I found that I could not re-invite them, even removing and adding their email did not help. The only way I found to fix it was to add a new alternative email address for those users.
Update
I have now seen myself why gmail addresses are a particular problem. Opening an invite email in the gmail app and clicking the link does not work. Even if TestFlight is installed it only shows the app briefly and then redirects to the app store. If you open the email in the Mail app instead then when you click the invite link it opens in TestFlight and asks you to install the app as expected.

Application submission requirement for Apple Appstore

We are planning to submit our iPhone app for certification, but a friend of my suggested that if the application needs the user to login every-time to use the features, then the people at Apple would not certify the application. Can some one please guide me on this.
Its not true, you just need to provide a working username and password during the app submission so that apple can test the features.
You are definitely allowed to require a login for the app to function (I've submitted an app with multiple updates that presents a login screen as the initial dialog and locks the rest of the app until the user logs in).
You need to ensure you create a test account for the reviewer to log in with though, so make sure you provide them with a valid test Username/Password combo when you submit the app for review.
While submitting to appstore there will be option for demo account like Username/password credentials there you can give your credentials to test your application
My app was rejected for requiring a registration by the user before using any features once. I asked for a clarification on the same from the App Review team, stating that my app was based on user data, and cannot proceed without authentication. Also, I updated my review Notes in the itunesConnect to mention the same. And it was accepted. :)
For safe side, You can mention this in the review notes and do not forget to give them a sample username and password!
Good Luck!
Dontwory Your app will not be rejected by Apple. There is no restriction in apple guidelines for this. I have many live apps in app store with same scenario. So you can upload your app with worrying about app rejection.
Hope it helps you.

iTunes Connect re-add a test user?

I've been testing one of my apps awhile ago and ran into some inapp purchasing errors, so I decided to delete my test user and try with a new one. I wanted to add my old test user again to my account, but got this message:
The following error(s) occurred: The email address you entered already
belongs to an existing Apple account. Please try again.
How can I fix this problem and add an old test user again in iTunes Connect?
Unfortunately, you can't add an old user once more, even if you delete it. Just create a new one.
From apple documentation:
You can only create test user accounts using an iTunes Connect
accounts with the Admin or Technical role assigned to it. Test users
do not have access to iTunes Connect, but will be able to test in-app
purchases in a development environment on a registered test device.

How to Transfer app ids from one account to another

Is it possible to transfer app ids owned by one FB account to another?
Yes this works perfectly.
Go to your FB app -> goto Roles, assign a Facebook friend as an administrator.
Ask him to accept the request and become an admin. (He has to add his account as a developer account, if not already a dev).
Now he goes to the App Dashboard and can see the app there. Can access the entire app. Good to go!!!
The primary administrator of the app can even delete the app from his account. Nothing happens to the transferred app
I didn't do this before, but try to add a friend as administrator and then delete the original administrator from the app.
Maybe your friend has to have the right to be an administrator, that is he has to be uniquely identified by Facebook as it works in your country.

StoreKit Sandbox Testing Doesn't Prompt to Log in

I'm testing an in-app purchase which did work fine a week ago, but now seems to be playing up.
I can load the product from the store without any problems (using NSLog to confirm the product id, price etc...), but when I send the actual request to purchase the product - I don't get challenged to log in to my (test) user account, it just returns an error code -1003 "Cannot connect to iTunes store".
This is strange because it did work a week ago, and now it doesn't. What's weirder is that it does prompt me for my password (to purchase the product) if I am currently logged into my live iTunes account.
It's almost as if the app is checking to see if there is an iTunes account logged in, and if not it will just fail... which is rather annoying as you're not supposed to log into the test accounts via your settings as it will invalidate it.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'd be well chuffed if you could :)
Thanks!
I have had this issue as well. You may want to try one or all of these steps.
Delete the app from your device and rebuild it.
Log out from any iTunes account on the device.
Delete the app. Reboot your device and build and run again.
Log into the iTunesConnect portal and view your test user page.
I have been able to reconnect by doing one or all of these things.
Hope this helps.
I've fixed this by creating a new test user. My guess is the test account accidentally saw the live store - which tends to kill them. Might be your problem as well?
