I am developing a facebook app and I want my app to use full screen in facebook iframe without any right sidebar which contains info about other apps. Is there any setting/code to remove it or is it default for all the apps?
Facebook take consideration about this once.

I have a Facebook app and it has a Facebook app page. I would like to keep the Facebook app available and live, but I would like to remove the app showing in the app Facebook page.
If I remove the app tab from "Settings" and "Apps", does this still keep the app alive, but only removes it from the page tabs?
Thanks!
go settings, then app on the left side off your screen. then if you take your courser on that app then a wrong symbol will appear click on it, it will be deleted.
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

My app is showing on facebook desktop, m.facebook.com, but not on the native app?
I meant not showing on bookmark or favorite. When I search for it within the native app I can find it.
According to the documentation it should also appear on the native Facebook app bookmark?
Can anyone please advise what did I do wrong? I have set the mobile web setting already.
Thanks
If your app has a native app, the it will show up in the Facebook app bookmark list. If you app is a desktop or canvas app, it shows up on desktop. If your app is a mobile site, then it shows up on m.facebook.com. You need to specify the type of app or apps you support/have/exist in the developer dashboard for the app.
I'm developing a Facebook app that has a responsive layout. Sometimes my app has to generate a link for the user. Whenever possible, the links will send the user to a Page Tab (when the user is on a desktop) and other times it will link directly to the app (when the user is on a mobile phone).
What is the default behavior for Facebook on tablets? Does it show the mobile site or the desktop site?
Should I use the mobile or desktop version of my app on tablets?
Update: In response to BBog's question in the comments:
My app prefers the desktop version because it includes a Like-gate. If the user experience is good for a tablet to view the app in a page tab (which is only available on www.facebook.com ie non-mobile), then that is preferred because the like button will be displayed at the top of the page, above the app's iframe. In contrast, the mobile version of the app requires that the user click a link that takes them to the (mobile) facebook page which they must like to un-gate the app. It adds an extra step for the user and requires that they navigate away from the app for a moment. Users might be discouraged by this extra step and decide not to enter the gate.
For Android tablets - Honestly, it depends on how you want Facebook to handle it. If you look at the android native app linking wiki - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/deep_linking/, Facebook provides you the option to choose the user experience. The facebook native android app itself treats tablets like mobile phones. It would be ideal if your app is compatible with tablets, and then you can enable deep-linking which will let the user view the content inside of your app.
For iOS, it's handled from within the iOS bundle id.
Unable to find a concrete answer, I ended up detected the user's referral on the first page access. Then if www.facebook.com is in the url, I go to desktop. Otherwise I go to mobile..
if ($detect->isTablet()) {
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION["tabletAsMobile"]))
$_SESSION["tabletAsMobile"] = (stripos($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"], 'www.facebook.com')===true):'0':'1';
}
$useMobileLinks = ($detect->isMobile() || ($detect->isTablet() && $_SESSION["tabletAsMobile"]));
}
My app "Butter Picks" is showing up in the left-hand-side bookmarks in the regular Facebook web view, but it does not show up in the bookmarks on my iPhone. I've surveyed all the relevant documentation and can't find any setting that needs to be changed. If I use the search within FB iPhone app to find "Butter Picks" I can find the app and use it as expected.
Any ideas?
As Igy pointed out in a comment, bookmarks are only shown for native apps inside the Facebook iPhone app. The mobile site should have a bookmark for any mobile app.
