I want the "Go to app" button on my Facebook page like this:
Mine currently looks like this:
As mentioned in How to add Go to App button on my app page, I tried using the following URL to add the button to my Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=APP_URL
Instead, I got this error:
Where's my button?
THe 'Go To App' button is only on Pages which are linked directly with an app (i.e the page representing the app itself, not a page upon which the app is installed as a tab) - you can create such a page for your app in the app's advanced settings. Don't change the page category from 'App' or it'll remove the link

I recently created a small application to embed as a page tab on Facebook.
I've done this before, but it seems like the procedure has changed since then.
I found this page: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=172925542764476, which says that, in order to embed the page as a page tab, I need to go to the "App About" page and click a link there.
My problem is - I can't find the "about app" page for my app! I was eventually able to determine the page for accessing my app directly (https://apps.facebook.com/[appID]/), but I don't think this is the page they're referring to. The FAQ suggests searching for the app name on Facebook, but doing so does not pull up my app.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
You might not have one, you need to create it via the 'Create page' option in the 'App Details' section of the app settings.
You don't need this page to add an app to a page, you can also use the Add Page Tab Dialog or the Pages API to add your app to a page.
I have a facebook page for the app. if i open the page, it just show like button. i need "Go To App" button near by, which will redirect the user to the facebook app. Thanks.
Do not ever merge pages! I did it and I regret. You'll lose everything. You can simply just change page type to Brands & Products > App Page, and you can choose it in the app settings thereafter. That simple!
Facebook is doing away with an "App" page for each that is created and replacing it with the ability to create a community page (by choice).
When adding a "Page Tab" I would previously go to the app page and click Add on the left side and the app would appear in my pages application profile.
Now that the app page is not being created I can't add the app to my page. I have tried the URL string with adding the app but keep getting an error.
Any ideas on how to add a "Page Tab" app to a page since the lastest update?
You can use this link,
add your app_id and app_namespace,
Tab Link
I just spent 2 hours going through the same issue.
Here's how it was resolved:
http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_key=**&pages=1
Replace ** with your app ID, and a page will appear asking
you where you would like to have the app added.

I have previously created 3 facebook iframe apps but now I am trying to create a new app and for some reason after I go to my Apps profile page and click on 'add app to my page' the app doesn't appear on my page?
I have gone through the app settings to make sure they are all correct.
I have tried different URL's (as a test)
If I go to 'edit my page' > 'apps', the app is in the list but doesn't have 'link to to this app' like the other apps do and if I click on 'edit settings, I get the message 'There are no settings for this application.'
You need to set a Canvas URL in your application settings (or possibly a Page Tab URL, it's not clear what type of app you're trying to create to me). Either way, doesn't look like it's set.
I made an application for using Facebook's likes/comments.
This is the app.
However, I made a separate fan page.
How do I link the two such that the App's Profile Page points to the one that I have made?
I can't afford to make a new page since I have already gathered 250+ likes, and it was hard.
Facebook changes their user interface once in a while, and it can be difficult how to add an app as a tab to a Facebook page.
Here is how you do it:
The app must be a tab app. When you create the app, you get a chance to specify a Page tab URL and a Secure Page Tab URL. If the app is set up as a "App on Facebook", it will not work. Make sure your app is set up as a "Page Tab"
After you create the Tab app, click on "View App Profile Page" in the left column.
Click "Add to My Page"
Select the page to which you want to add this tab and click the close button
There is a step by step tutorial on how to do this here:

You can link the app to the page by clicking the "link to my page" link at the lower left of the app screen. A box pops up that lists all the pages you are an administrator of. Just select the one you are targeting.
The app including its info content will then appear as an extra tab/menu item on your page. That way, the visitors of your page have direct access to your app.
