we are creating an app for a facebook page that because of its nature, has to link to other tabs in the same page. So there is a single app that is supposed to link to 4-5 more.
I am trying to only show the parent app in the "favorites" (the place right below the cover picture) and have all the other hidden, so you can only go to them from the parent. I noticed there are 2 options when you hover over each app and click the pencil icon, "remove from favorites" and "uninstall app".
The naming suggests that removing the app from favorites does not uninstall the app from that page. However, that is not the case. After removing an app from the favorites i can no longer access it using its distinct url. So, my question is, what is the difference between these 2 actions and if there is a way to link to apps without the apps showing in the favorites!
Thanks!

So, my question is, what is the difference between these 2 actions
If you just remove the app from favorites, it’ll still show up in your page management console under “apps”, and an admin can easily re-add it as a page tab from there.
If you uninstall it, however, it’ll be completely removed from your page, even from the management section. (If this also invalidates previously issued page access tokens, I’m not sure – could be.)
and if there is a way to link to apps without the apps showing in the favorites!
No, not for page tabs.
You could set up your other apps as canvas apps – but then they woulnd’t be in the “context” of your page anymore, meaning that you can not f.e. check easily if the visiting user liked your page or not.

I want to have my app display a UIAlertController to a new user that forces them to agree the Privacy Policy (or close the app). My Privacy Policy is hosted online. I am already capable of displaying an alert, but using buttons to link to the PP inevitably cause the alert to be dismissed after being pressed (after much searching, it seems this can not be changed without creating a custom controller).
I'd be happy to have the words "Privacy Policy" be a hyperlink in the alert, with a single "I Agree" button, but I've found that many people say this is counter to the almighty guidelines (despite my recollection that many iOS apps do this).
How can I best What are some ways to create a "clickwrap" agreement with the user using a UIAlertController?
Don't use a UIAlertController. Don't use a link to something online. Include the text of the privacy policy in the app. Use a custom presented view controller as your modal dialog. It can be small and even look quite a lot like a system alert, but it will contain your text in a text view and the desired buttons, right there in the dialog.
(Instead of a text view, you could have a web view that loads the text from your web site, but this risks lack of connectivity at the key moment. Better to have the policy text built into the app.)

At work, we've developed a Facebook app to create a configurable 'tab' page with live information from our API, so that a small handful of our partners can display it on their Facebook pages in a template we provide. The app works fine, but is not something that needs to be independently discovered by people browsing a list of Facebook apps.
Thus, my question is, do we ever need to submit this app for a formal review by Facebook, if we don't care about being listed in their app index? We've got the app URL that we're giving partners directly to install, and that's worked already.
I've provided as much of the app details as are required (descriptions, icons, privacy policy URLs, contact details etc) to meet Facebook's own requirements. Is there any chance Facebook will look at the app down the line and require a submission, considering the app now has 'users' (i.e. people that have viewed the tab page it creates).
You only have to get your app reviewed if you want it to be listed in the app center – but it’s absolutely not mandatory.
But be aware that people could possibly find your app in other ways, f.e. it might show up in the normal search under it’s name.

I made a Check In Deal for my business a few days ago and it was approved. When I check on my or an employees phone to 'check in' to test the deal it does not show up.
If I check from the Facebook App on the iPhone it doesn't show a deal at all, the business shows up but not the deal.
If I check from the safari app and go to the mobile Facebook page when I click check in it shows the little logo confirming a deal at the location, but once you click it and/or post it no deal shows up to claim.
I had hoped for this deal to be going since the 1st and its now the 4th and I still do not see it. Wondering if anyone had any ideas that might get it to work, or if it just takes time to show up on phones even after its approved.
EDIT: I checked on a Virgin Mobile phone and it showed the "check in' logo but again, nothing once you click it, or check in from it.

I want to show many iPhone apps related to me in table view with wrapped in LinkShare and TradeDoubler account, due to which when any purchase made, gives me commission. I have seen in some apps with More great Apps button which opens a link in web view to show many apps in table view after clicking one of them a link of iTunes app store will open and if you purchase any app then commission goes to app owner.
I have attached the screen shot to clear it quickly -
any help would be greatly appreciated,Thanks
You can create a file and place it in a server with your URL stored in it (you can add metadata, imageURL, ...)
Then in your app, if you have access to internet display the tableview with the data loaded from the file. If you have not access to it or if it's corrupted, present a view with something else. You can also use this placeholder for the Apple validation according to TeenDev answer ;-)

Facebook announced that they are about to remove app profile pages and allowing to migrate existing likes to a "regular" facebook page.
From some reason, i do not have the migration option on the top of my app profile page as it supposed to be according to their post.
I made sure to open a page with the same app name and set its category to Brands & Products / App.
What am i missing? Is there a way to activate the migration from another place (rather than this banner)?
I think not all App will get it immediately. I just have it today and have migrated my app profile page to a new page a created under Brands & Products / App.
Unfortunately, once I migrated, I don't have accessed to the old page and lost all my precious wall content... It had been a very active interaction channel between us and our fans....
Is there any channel we can feedback and vote to migrate our wall content as well?
