iOS game and Facebook game: same app id? - facebook

I have built a game for iOS that uses Facebook Connect, and I will be making a Facebook version of the same game. Do I use the same applciation ID for both games?

Yes you would use the same app id for both games. In the "basic" tab of your app settings you specify what formats your application will be used on. This means you won't have to bug your users to authenticate 2 different apps (I'm assuming you might want them to use both versions).

Right how it is now, you can't do that from the app management screen. Or at least for website app and facebook app is impossible to use same app id (you have to put the url for website)

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

How many ids can I write at the iPhone app store ID field?

Can i set more than one iPhone app store ID?
I have created two mobile IOS application that i want to link them to one FB app.
That means two iPhone app store ID.
How can i do that. Is it possible?
No, every AppID defines just one App, there's no possibility or sense in doing it with more.
you can share the same facebook app id across applications (ios applications), the facebook developers web site explains how to do that: share-appid-across-multiple-apps-ios-sdk

How to authenticate a person who has facebook but not the facebook app on iOS device?

I am creating an app on iOS and i came across a scenario if a person does not have the facebook app installed but has Facebook. how does the game app handle that. you can only play the game if and only if you have facebook account?
You can use Single Sign On in Facebook.
So that the facebook will authenticate its user through facebook app if its installed otherwise through the safari.
Here is the Link also here.
Happy coding :)
If you targeted the older versions (below ios6) use Graph API.
If you targeted for newer version (ios 6 and above) use the native method

Will mobile web apps ever gain bookmark distribution inside of the Facebook native iOS app?

I think bookmark distribution inside the Facebook native iOS app is a great opportunity. However, based on the table at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/support/, it appears that option is only available to native iOS apps. Does anyone know if there are future plans to make web app bookmarks available inside the native app?
It's possible that the bookmark feature within the native iOS Facebook app violates Apple's policies regarding content on their platform, i.e. a web app bookmarked within the Facebook native app would represent a different user experience from the one that was cleared by Apple when they let the Facebook app onto the App Store.
If this is the case, there will be no bookmarks available in the native app unless Apple changes their policy, or grants Facebook a waiver.

How do you get your app to appear on the Facebook Mobile Application? (specifically iPhone)

We have a popular Facebook Application and a version of our App for the iPhone. I was wondering how we can make our Application appear in the "Apps" Section on the new Facebook iPhone app. On my iPhone I currently see links to the App store for Pixable, Badoo, Airbnb, Foursquare and WhoisNear iPhone Application.
I have filled out the Native iOS App settings in the Developer section on Facebook (including adding the Bundle ID and the iPhone app store ID) several weeks ago thinking it took a while to update, but still nothing shows up on my iPhone app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,

Screenshot of where we want our app to show up:
Edit your Application Settings and on the Basic Settings specify a Mobile Web URL for your Mobile Web integration. You should be able to set the URL to your app's iTunes URL.
Fill out the iOS information within the admin settings of your application, which also means they are using the same application id. You also have to have granted at least the basic permissions via connect on the app, and have the app installed on the phone.
