My facebook app works fine on a mobile when I type the address in, but not when I am following a posted link from a wall. In this case I get an error saying that the application "has not configured its Mobile Web URL or the URL could not be verified as owned by the application." I tried adding a mobile url, making it the same as my canvas url, but then I get an error that the app is configured wrongly and it doesn't work at all, even when the address is typed in manually. What am I meant to be entering for the mobile url?

I have a chrome extension hosted on Google servers.
I am trying to add an option to login with FB on my extension (using parse.com js sdk to do so)
Seems to work fine , until the following message pops up from FB :
Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or
more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must
match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a
subdomain of one of the App's domains.
I came to realize that the issue is the site URL that i've entered in the app configurations on FB.
What URL do i need to enter in this case ? Nothing seems to work.
I don't really have a site , but a simply extension hosted on google .
Hi I've created an app for Windows Phone 8 using the ContosoSocial Facebook login interface.
It uses the following call to do this:
FacebookSessionClient fb = new FacebookSessionClient(AppId);
fb.LoginWithApp("basic_info,publish_actions,read_stream", "custom_state_string");
This works fine when I use the default AppId but when I change it to the one given by Facebook following app registeration I get the following error:
Given URL is not premitted by the application cofiguration.: One or more of the given URL's is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the website URL or Canvas URL, or the app domain must be a subdomain of one of the Apps domains..?
I've searched and this problem has come up on several occations and as far as I can work out it's to do with my app settings on Facebook.? Facebook asks for an App Domain which I've left blank as I'm not sure what this is or used for..? Do I need one..?
I've followed several tutorials Scrumptious but then all show a different app registration process on the screens than I'm faced with. A little research revealed that Facebook has recently changed the process which is making it even more confusing for me. I would appreciate some help here.
I want to create an app which will pull in a news feed direct into a panoramic item on the app's main screen.
Many thanks
EDIT: I've tried adding my web site URL to the app domain by I get the following error: This must be derived from Canvas URL, Secure Canvas URL, Unity Binary URL, Site URL, Mobile Site URL, Page Tab URL or Secure Page Tab URL. Check and correct the following domains: ***************
Below is the screen shot for configuring app:
Store ID, Application Name & Windows Store Beta ID removed, I'm now getting the following error:
App Not Setup: The developers of this app have not setup the app properly for Facebook Login. ?
Go to Advanced Settings in your developers.facebook.com/apps/ of your app and check that "Embedded browser OAuth Login" is enabled and set to Yes.
I tried to enter the domain while making facebook apps but the following erroe occurs.
Error
You have specified an App Domain but have not specified a valid integration URL.
rankfrod.com must be derived from one of: Site URL, Mobile Site URL, Canvas URL, Secure Canvas URL, Page Tab URL or Secure Page Tab URL.
What does this error tells, I have tried to enter a valid url i.e rankford.com,
Well if you scroll down a bit in the settings page you will see,
"Select how your app integrates with Facebook"
There you enter your URL for the integration and the app domain is derived from that one.
I.E
You're making an IOS Application, check the IOS Native Application,
Enter Site URL as http://www.rankfrod.com and then in your app domain you can do appfrod.com.
Good luck!
we have created a Facebook app, but when opening this on a mobile (via Web or iPhone) the page results in a 4oh4 error. I have setup a Mobile Web URL but still (after 1 hour wait) gives a 404.
Do I need to make specific changes on my app?
Please help.
This is expected as #Igy stated. You will need to have a handler to support redirecting mobile users to your apps.facebook.com/ or you can redirect them out of Facebook to your own URL if you are going to try and link to your page directly with an app embedded as a tab.
i.e. point link to http://yoursite.com/redirector
is mobile goes to http://yoursite.com/myapp or http://apps.facebook.com/
non mobile goes to http://facebook.com//app_
Some things to note:
You won't get any page specific data back from facebook on your page (i.e. Liked or Not Liked).
Based on #1 you won't be able to restrict the non-liking app users from a page.
After trying everything under the sun to get Facebook to redirect to a mobile web URL, here is what I needed to do in order to get the redirection working:
Make sure the Facebook application is a canvas application. This gives you the ability to give the application a namespace.
Give your application a namespace so that you can access it through https://apps.facebook.com/NAMESPACE. From here, Facebook will do the detection for you, and if needed, redirect your users to your specified mobile URL.
Make sure your app is NOT in sandbox mode.
If your app is in Sandbox Mode, Facebook won't redirect you to the mobile version you have specified in your app settings.
Facebook does the redirecting for you, you don't have to. Although their version of what "mobile" is and what you deem "mobile" might be different.
We have a post on a FB wall. It points to http://tinyurl.com/{something}.
When the link is clicked in a non-mobile web browser, it works fine: TinyURL redirects the user to our web site using the appropriate URI including a special querystring.
When the link is clicked in a mobile web browser on my Android, it fails with the error in the title of this question.
When the link is clicked in the FB native app for iPad and in Safari on the iPad, it works fine.
I have tried adding our URL to the Mobile Web setting in the Basic Settings tab of the FB App configuration. That results in all links pointing directly to the root of our web site with a funky set of parameters in a querystring -- in other words, it doesn't follow the TinyURL in that particular case. The funky parameters include "refid", "ref", and "ft".
So primarily my question is: Why, when I specify the URL in the Mobile Web setting as described in the previous paragraph, does it redirect to our main URL instead of the TinyURL link originally called for?
I think this is something Facebook broke very recently (perhaps even today?). When a user clicks on any links to our app from inside the Facebook native iOS app, they get this error "Either this application has not configured its Mobile Web URL or the URL could not be verified as owned by the application. Unable to redirect." We had never set a Mobile Web URL previously, and everything had been fine since we launched the app over a year ago. We sent all mobile clicks to the same URL's as desktop browsers and handled the mobile rendering server-side. We have not changed our application domain inside the App Settings or anything like that.
In the App Settings, can set a Mobile Web URL to our homepage and the link works (and the error message goes away) but that's not the desired behavior at all - it would mean that all links end up at the same Mobile Web URL regardless of what the link was!
Was this change made on purpose by Facebook and if so why? There's been no mention of this whatsoever on the Developer Blog.
Update 3/21 8:10am PST:
I've since found this to be a widespread problem, not just for a few apps. Just by clicking around I've seen this error on posts to weather.com, youtube, msn.com and a dozen others. It happens on both clicks from the Timeline as well as the News Feed (although strangely sometimes the same post works on one, but not the other!), and from the m.facebook.com mobile web app as well as the native iOS app.
I commented on http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/302635863137683 but no word from Facebook yet. I can't believe more people aren't talking about this right now, this is a major bug.
In your app, go to Settings -> Add platform -> Website
Add both, Website URL and Moblie Website (Yes, you need these both), then your app will be able to be opened from facebook native app.
You will also need the FB Canvas.
Same here, I recently noted that all links of items shared with our Adroid or iPhone app are broken. This only happens with the mobile version of Facebook the Desktop web version is still working. What is actually wrong on the mobile version is that the original shared url is replaced with a m.facebook url that ends with "?ref=unknown&refid=0&ft=fbid.332036910178718%3Ainterface.m_touch%3Ac.m" When user click on it Facebook is redirecting the user to the App's "Mobile Web URL" + "?ref=unknown&refid=0&ft=fbid.332036910178718%3Ainterface.m_touch%3Ac.m" instead of the original shared url.
My opinion is that this is an issue of Facebook that is redirecting the url to the wrong location, "Mobile Web URL" instead of the original post url.
Ok not working. What is going on, 1st directed to something about itunes url. I am on an Android not an Iphone. Sad state when an disabled person is unable to gain access the same as others. This is bad for all users.
