I created application and uploaded icon for it but the icon does not appear on search result page:
http://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=Gammafish%20Poker&type=apps
What should I do for it?
The image that is displayed in that search results page is not the icon.
In the apps settings page, where you can change the icon, there's also the "profile pic" (or what ever they call it), hover the mouse over it, you'll see that the text "edit" is then showing on the image, click it and upload the image you want to be displayed as the app "profile pic", then you should see it in those search results.
Edit
I checked a bit more, I was wrong, the image in the search results is not the "app profile pic", that is being displayed (for example) if you hover the text link.
I'm not 100%, but it looks like that pic in the search results is taken from the app page, for us it uses an old profile picture of the app page.
You can set up the "App Page" in the app settings, the "Advanced" tab, the last item.

On my page, I'd like to change the tab image of an app. So I clic "edit settings" and get the window to change tab settings but then if I click "Change" for Custom tab image I get an error message "Sorry, the link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed."
The link looks like this : https://developers.facebook.com/pages/tab_image?pid=[page_id]&app_id=[app_id]
What is wrong with ?
Thanks
its a bug, already reported and facebook working on it

I've gone through all the steps to create a Page Tab in App Settings, such as this...
http://www.dbswebsite.com/blog/2012/10/17/how-to-creating-a-custom-facebook-tab/
I have both the http and https URLs and entered this URL to add the page tab...
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL
Included my app ID and the website URL. But the Tab is not showing up on our Facebook page. I've clicked the down arrow to show all tabs on the Facebook page and nothing is there. We just have Photos and Likes. The [+] buttons for each blank tab just show a progress bar repeating and repeating. Nothing seems to be working to get this tab to show up.
Please check whether your app is in sandbox mode. You can change it in app settings - https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APPID/summary - select the disabled button in Sandbox mode.(sandbox mode is enabled by default)
See the above image, So i changed the tab image of the app using the instruction from this site. But i can't change this icon. How can change that.
On the main page of the app in the developer settings, there is the an app image and some smaller text that says "edit icon" - this is what the small icon refers to and it is 16x16px. It's not related to the image that sits next to it which I believe is around 70x70px. The proximity does make it slightly confusing. But just click the text link
Can anybody guide about how
does the new FB timeline incorporate the iframe for its pages.
Or is there any new stuffs coming in to replace these stufs?
The way you create and display your iFrame will be the same, except for a size change.
The new iFrame will be 810px wide, instead of 520px - existing tabs (apps) that are set to 520px will just be centered on the page, so they aren't "broken." Giving us 290 extra pixels is great!
You can no longer set a tab as "default landing page". Instead, users always see the main Timeline view and have to actively click through to custom apps.
To edit which apps you display, click the drop-down icon to the right of the tiles, click the ‘+’ button to import your custom apps, and then hover over them and click the pencil to swap them around.
If you have a contest or something on a tab which you would have wanted set as the "default landing page", you can create a post on your page which has a few sentences advertising such, with a link to the tab. You can then "pin" this post to the top of your page, so it will be the first thing users read. "Pinning" and "starring" on your Page act exactly like they do on your personal timeline.
Here's a good explanation of all changes
I've added my app to my page but it doesnt show up as a tab. Why?
See attached image FBapp.png which shows all settings. When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Here's my Facebook application: https://apps.facebook.com/ticketwise/?fb_page_id=208837722506615
(never mind the scrollbars for now)
When you view your page, underneath the image/logo area there is a list of tabs. Depending on how many tabs you have, at the bottom there will either be a link for "EDIT" or "MORE". If "MORE", click to see the full list of tabs and the EDIT link. When you click "EDIT" you will be able to drag and drop the tabs to reorder them and place your application near the top where it will be visible by default.
For your other query:
When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Settings pages are something you have to create separately if your app requires it. They are a page hosted on your server, that defines parameters to be used on the tab page view of the app. You can define the page in your application settings using the "Page Tab Edit URL" field.
