I'm making some tests here and all the apps that I had created today didn't show on the App Profile Page (example http://apps.facebook.com/lojaeotica/). Is there some update or policy change for today? I didn't see anything in Developers Blog.
Have a look at the blog posted today - http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/
Title of the topic is "Removing App Profile Pages", this would explain you on how to address your need.
Here is what it says - "New apps will not automatically get an App Profile Page. Instead, new apps can choose to create a Facebook Page from the Dev App. Simply visit the Contact Info section in the Advanced tab of the Dev App and click on the “Create Facebook Page” button to create a new Facebook Page."
There's an open bug report about this:https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/325983410747148
As stated by Facebook, new apps won't get their own app page automatically. You can either create it in the apps 'advanced settings' or if you just need the link to integrate it into your facebook page, modify and use this one here:
www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL"
It is not a bug, but a poorly implemented new feature. If you only need the profile page to add it as a tab you can use this: http://www.addtab.info/

I was added as authorized developer of my employer's facebook account. At least he said so. But I can't find any notes about it in my FB dashboard or apps. What am I supposed to do to manage his FB application? Where can I see it?
you should be able to see the app listed here: https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
Then to manage it, you can click on the icon which brings you to the application's dashboard/settings page (or analytics if he gave you only analytics role).
If you don't see the app in the list of apps, check your requests to see if you have the app waiting to be accepted. To do that, you can click on your profile picture and click on 'requests' or go here: https://developers.facebook.com/requests/
If the app is not there waiting to be accepted, then you will have to ask an admin to (re)invite you from the roles page.
I hope that helps!
We have a facebook app that we have created for people to use on their organization's pages (not personal accounts), and in the past when they wanted to adjust the settings they would go onto the page, go to edit settings, and go to the appropriate app. It would take them to a /settings page that was built into the canvas app.
I can't find where that menu chain is anymore. Edit Settings no longer has anything about apps in it unless I'm on a personal page.
Where do I find this information now?
Thanks!
Edit: For clarification, the place I'm trying to go to is called the 'Page Tab Edit URL'.
Double Edit: I posted a question on the facebook help community - haven't seen anything there either https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10151539448667919
On the page having the app click Edit Page and then select Edit settings.
On the Settings page click more... (under the page name) and select apps.
Now you have the old app list with the link to go to app.
We run a website with a blog and we're using a wordpress plug-in that pushes the blog posts to facebook via an app. It is working fine for regular users but we want it to push the posts to the organisation's community page.
The annoying thing is, I deleted an existing community page and created a new page via the "Create New Facebook Page" button in the "App Page:" setting of the "App Details" area for my app.
The new page was created exactly as requested, and it still won't allow me to link it to the app.
How can I get this working?
The Wordpress plug-in is called "Add Link To Facebook" in case anyone is wondering.
Please ensure you are using the pro version and confirm this. It seems this functionality is only provided in pro.
Wordpress requires a separate action to authorize pages. So using an app for example you'll first authorize your account to be accessed and then another popup will appear asking you to select one of many pages in your account. Is anything like this happening?
I have created a Facebook app. The app is running on my hosted server through Facebook. I have a community sit and a blog site. How do I get the blue “Go to APP” button for my Facebook pages to drive users to the app? I cannot find the information in Facebook help files. Sorry if this is a novice question.
You can create a Facebook page for your app. It will have the blue “Go to APP” button that takes the user to your app.
To create a page for your app, click on the “Create Facebook Page” button in Edit App > Advanced > Contact info tab
In that case, as of February 1st, 2012, "App" pages are no longer available (read Removing App Profile Pages).

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.
