I'm a a bit stuck...
I see on the Spotify app page (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=174829003346) you can see a 'Download App' button at the top. How do I replicate this on my own app page? I can't find anything in the app settings area that lets me set a URL for example. I selected 'native/desktop' app type but this doesn't give me anything else. My app is neither an Android or iOS app either. I want a link to my own website to download the app.
Please help...
Thank you
It is an older feature of Facebook Pages that they say is now deprecated. If you had the link/button before they removed the functionality, it will still appear on your Page. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to edit/change/delete it.

I have looked at existing questions but found nothing that answers my questions.
I have an app on facebook (its actually a webpage added as an app). I have added Page Tab as a platform. I also have a page for the app.
Now, I am trying to add this app to another page, as a tab.
I am not finding any way to do this right now. When trying to manage tabs, I can add apps. But I only see "notes" as an option. Any idea how to do that ?
Thanks.
The docs tell you how to add an App to a Page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs#adding
For example, open this in your browser with the appropriate parameters:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL
...you will see a list of all Pages you manage and you can add the App to those.
I want to create a simple app for facebook, something like axa insurance
They have a folder competition, where you click on that folder which then displays an image which you can share. Any ideas how to do this? I have no idea from where to start. Can anyone provide any assistance or any tutorials on it? it would be highly appreciated.
You first need to create page tab app here: http://developers.facebook.com/
Facebook app are now a simple iframe pointing to whatever you want!
A couple of details:
you should have an ssl certificate for https user (otherwise it'll
give a warning when the user will be on your tab app)
Adding the app to your page is not really intuitive, take a look over here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/add_to_page/ - under Direct URL Example to know how to do it!
Here's a tutorial about it
http://query2arijeet.com/2012/02/16/installing-your-iframe-application-on-your-fan-page-2012-iframe-facebook-apps/
You can google around "create facebook app for fan page 2012" or something like that!
Created a new App, created a new Fanpage for this App but if i click on "view my app profile page" it says that this page was not found. Other strange thing, if i click the link in the modal window where it says "The #NameOfMyApp Community page has been created and connected with this app." I´ll be redirected to my App Community page but there is no link where can add this app to my main Page. I´ve done this several times with several apps for the last few months, always the same way - worked like a charm. What´s wrong now?
This is temporarily "broken". Facebook has removed profile pages from new apps and replaced it with a add to page widget which is not yet available unless you manually install it somewhere. Very unintutive, but perhaps this will help: http://www.addtab.info/
Maybe a silly question, but where do I fill in this URL?
I have been looking and looking and testing for two days now! Still I have not found the answer.
Like for example http://www.facebook.com/Sendible?ref=ts.
It's not a setting you can change, the link will automatically go to your app depending on what type of app you've defined in your app settings (i.e canvas - link will go to your canvas page, 'website' - link will go to your site, iOS app - link will go to iTunes store)
How do you edit the settings you entered when you registered your Facebook app?
I need to change the base url and cannot for the life of me figure it out navigating the site.
Someone must know where this is accessible.
Edit:
Hmmm, guess I have been going to the right place, right now I just get
'An error occurred with Developer. Please try again later.'
The link is: http://www.facebook.com/developers/editapp.php?app_id=[APP_ID]
You can navigate to this link starting from facebook.com/developers. The base URL can be edited inside the Facebook integration tab (on the left)
From the right sidebar My Apps on the developers page
http://www.facebook.com/developers
Find your app on the right, then go to Edit Settings.
Just as an FYI... my app doesn't show up under the developer page (yes, I'm logged in) and if I use the URL that jack provided I just get redirected to my account/info page.
My app works but it can't be edited...
