I have a non profit website dedicated to raising awareness about disabled dogs. We also allow users to post urgent dog rescues needed (dogs that are in kill shelters that will be euthanised within next 48hrs).
There is a FB app at http://pretpardons.com that I would like to add to my site to allow visitors to see in real time which animals are in desperate need of adoption/rescue.
Is there any way that I can embed this fb app on my site? I have the app id.
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carl Hackman
Yes you can. you can put frame another's fb app as facebook frames it.
However, fb app on your site won't have signed_request, so authentication will be done
by client side with fb javascript sdk. This means there may be some work to fb app's owners

Recently Apple introduced a custom product page feature where multiple different App landing pages can be made.
While running Facebook ads, there is no option to link an ad set to a particular landing page’s Url. It only detects the app and sends to main listing.
Any experience with this?
Can any 3rd party service like Appsflyer help in this case?
Seems there is no chance to do it because Facebook didn't give such an opportunity even with deep links. Only web2app solutions.
Is it possible to submit my 3D WebGL HTML5 / Facebook Canvas app to the App Center, even though it does not use the Facebook API? It isn't integrated with Facebook in any way, other than, being embedded in..
https://apps.facebook.com/flappy-wheels/
..from a Dropbox-hosted URL, if that even counts as a technical "Facebook integration" - which I doubt, as no API usage or Facebook signup or login required to even play it.
I keep on trying to submit it for App Center review but it insists to think I'm using the FB API when I'm not. Does this mean usage of the FB API is absolutely required for App Center submission? What if I dont want my app logging in to people's Facebook accounts? What if I don't want it accessing their personal information, or posting for them, or any of that jank? What if I just want it to be a game to simply be played embedded in a FB app URL, with no actual FB integration or interaction? Can that not be put on the App Center?
It thinks I need 3 permissions, one of which is logging in to people's accounts, I think these 3 permissions are put there in settings by default, how do I removed those permissions from my app settings, as those permissions listed aren't being used in my game, as it isn't using any FB permissions?
A smaller question on the side, what is the "tagline"? Like, it is the keywords / searchable tags, right? I'm used to them being called just "tags" and not a "tagline" so just to be sure I know what it is.
Thank you so much for any help or suggestions!
Yes you can always submit the html5 game on facebook canvas but for App Centre listing its necessary. Also using dropbox, github hosted sited will have less server resources allocted to them and hence high load time - i recommend to use any other hosting services out their, but remember https is a must.
Tagline is like a punch line for any product just go on the same theme.
I have an app where a user creates some object and invites people to interact with it. It's not a game and it's not a canvas app.
I tried to get requests to work probably and couldn't
After reading a bit, I understood that these don't work for non-canvas apps anymore.
So...
1) Does anyone know if this is going to stick? It's extremely painful that stupid games like candy crush are allowed to create requests, while apps that might actually provide users real value can't. If there's anyone from FB here, I'd really like to understand why this discrimination is taking place?
2) Are there any alternatives? Sending a message or feed post are possible but, I need to either a) generate a unique link per invitee or b) get the list of people the user sent the link to. Both don't seem to be an option with messages and feed dialog.
3) Is is ok to just embed my web app in the canvas as is?
Thanks

Facebook policy indicates that you should not use app requests to send users to an external website. However, an embedded web canvas app is fine. It will let you use the apprequests function to render the Request Dialog and provide a user invite experience similar to the most popular Facebook games.
In my app, am I allowed to redirect users to other apps (of course if they choose to do this). It would be like in an affiliate model : if I send someone to the app X, and the user choose to use it, the owner of app X pays for that.
I'm not sure that it is allowed on Facebook, and I will be very grateful for those which would help me find the answer regarding this particular important issue for me.

No problem if The app x is in Facebook
11.Apps on Facebook may not integrate, link to, promote, distribute, or
redirect to any app on any other competing social platform.
12 . The
primary purpose of your Canvas or Page Tab app on Facebook must not be
to simply redirect users out of the Facebook experience and onto an
external site.
I need to post a user-specific text, determined by him, on his wall/timeline when he presses a button (in facebook's tutorial, they make the user login when the app launches, and then it does nothing).
There is a lot of information on the internet but every site does it in other way.
Just wanted to know if there's a specific way to do it.
Thanks!
A quick easy way to add facebook to your app is ShareKit (http://www.getsharekit.com/). This also allows you to add other social network site to your app.
You might want to try Socialize: http://www.GetSocialize.com. It'll allow app users to comment & like within the app, with the option of also sharing out to a social network (Facebook currently live; Twitter coming). Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
