I'm developing a FB page tab app, and I want to provide my client a URL for testing the app. I don't have a page specifically for this app, nor do I want to create one - the test versions of the app should remain private. What is the normal process for testing page tab apps privately in this manner?
Try this:
Go to your application: developers.facebook.com/apps
open your app, on left side there is a section called advanced (settings->advanced),
just click on that and you will find create a facebook page option,
you can create a facebook page and after creating,
you can set setting for publish or unpublish.
You have to enable the Sandbox Mode in your app settings.
If you want to give other users access to the app, you need to add them as developers or testers in the Roles settings.

I got this error on the Facebook page.
App not active: This app is not currently accessible and the app developer is aware of the issue. you will be able to log in when the app is reactivated.
Also, I was implement facebook login in the Laravel with "Laravel Socialite".
It's happened because your app on Facebook for developers website is not live
solution
go to Facebook for developers from here
choose My Apps from the top bar
click on your app icon ( then you will notice that your app is not live from the top bar )
from the left side select settings >> basic
put your privacy policy link in the Privacy Policy URL and in the User data deletion field, you can make a copy from this privacy policy ( to make a copy from the privacy policy select file from the top bar and select make a copy )
press save changes
I hope that it was helpful
The error suggests your Facebook app is not active; it should definitely be in Development Mode.
You get that error because the Facebook user account you are using to test the login with Facebook feature is neither added to your Facebook app as an Administrative nor Developer account.
You should check and ensure the Facebook user account meets either condition above.
Alternatively, you can change you App Mode from Deployment to Live, if you are ready to make it accessible to your users.
Go to developers.facebook.com/apps/your-app-id/app-review/permissions
Change public_profile to Advanced Access.
Thats all.
I am trying to enable deep linking from custom open graph stories. I have gone through the instructions listed
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/app-links
Deep linking works fine when I click from the Facebook timeline to the actual story post page and then click the object button. If I click the object button on the timeline itself, the url is NOT handled and instead is open directly in the Facebook webview.
This may be because I don't have a web platform added on my App Dashboard.
Facebook documentation reads
Deep linking in Open Graph stories If you're deep linking from an Open
Graph story published from your app, you will need to go through one
more step.
...
If you HAVEN'T already added a website for this app, in the App
Dashboard, inside your app's settings, click on ''Add platform'', and
select ''Website''. Then in any of the fields (either ''Site URL'' or
''Mobile site URL''), fill in your subdomain. It doesn't matter if you
don't have a website that you're integrating with Facebook, this will
register this subdomain for use with your native app.
However, when I try to add a the url in app settings (the screenshots match those in the documentation), my open graph submission is rejected by Facebook with the note:
Your app does not qualify for the submitted platform. In the app
settings tab, please remove platforms without Facebook integration.
Canvas or page tab apps cannot redirect users, and websites must
properly integrate Facebook login.
Anybody been through this before and can lend some guidance? I am very much confused by the documentation.
The deep-linking started working on its own about a week later without any changes on my part.
Is there any way to have an app on a 'pages' profile on Facebook that doesn't show a tab on the public profile.
I have tried adding the app (with a pages tab) and hiding the tab after adding it to the page however this seems to cause it to be automatically removed completely.
Yes it is possible by enabling "Sandbox" mode for application. Once sandboxed application (as well as Page tab) will be visible only to Administrators/Developers/Test users of application.
So generally you may enable sandbox mode and add users as Test Users for an application.
I recently made an app so i could have an iframe tab on my page. i want to add another tab with an iframe. Can this be done with the same app?
Can i determine which tab a request came from? Its going to be different content under each tab.
I want to keep it the same app so users will not have to grant permissions for a second app.
No, you can only define one tab per app. You can configure that tab to display different content for different pages, but you cannot install more than one tab to a page using the same app. You'll have to create multiple apps, but you should be able to point them at the same codebase and determine which app is requesting content to serve the proper tab.
Regarding permissions, I'd work it so that you don't do any authentication from the tab itself but instead you link them to the same installation endpoint.
I have successfully created a Facebook application. I have successfully added the application to my Facebook "Page". After I do this, no link for the app shows up in the menu on the left. This seems like something that should be simple to do, yet I can't find any documentation that is up-to-date. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Configure the Page Tab settings in your application settings under Facebook Integration.
Go to the developer page where you get the list of your apps.
Click on the more link next to your app, and choose Application profile.
Once you are on the app profile, on the sidebar menu click on Add to my page and choose the page where you want to add the tab.
Note that you must have your app tab configured properly inside your app configuration in order to get this to work i.e. setting the correct domain and tab file.
If you are logged in as the page, I suggest you either creating a profile ID and log in as it, or the solution that #ifaour pointed out, although it will be difficult to find your app inside the search engine that FB provides.
