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)

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!
In the past, an app had a graph picture just like users from the url
https://graph.facebook.com/APPID/picture
This came from the old app fan pages. Now that apps have migrated to regular fan pages, there are two problems.
1: Old apps still use the picture from the old inaccessible app page and there seems to be no way to change it.
2: New apps just get a question mark with no way to change it.
How can the graph picture be set for apps?
I just created a brand new app. So I know this applies to new apps.
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP_ID/summary,
move your mouse over the icon and an action link appears saying "Edit" in the upper right corner of the default image.
Click that edit action link
Click [Browser...] to find the image on your local environment to upload
Select image
Wait for it to process.
It appears beside your app name on that basic page.
EDIT
How to get at this photo.
http://graph.facebook.com/{APP ID}?fields=logo_url
This was a bug that has since been fixed by Facebook.
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.
This is the closest related thread I can find:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/236073243178846/
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...
I would like to place a link from my application's narrow profile box to it's application tab on the same profile.
I have combed through the FBML documentation to no avail. I have posted this question on the Facebook dev forums. I have experimented with pasting the URL of the tab into the profile box link without success (ajax may be getting in the way?).
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
You asked this a very long time ago, but it ranks well in Google for some search terms so here goes:
To link to a specific profile tab you can use the following href in your anchor
facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456&v=app_654321
obviously you need to replace the profile id and app id with correct values.
With the new short urls you may use this href
facebook.com/shorturl?v=app_654321
Both will load up the users profile with your apps tab already selected.
It is possible, but not with the profile.php... It always redirects to page wall, no matter of v parameter.
The only way I know is to give a direct link, ie.
http://www.facebook.com/MichaelJordan?v=info
The problem is that you have to know this name in the link (MichaelJordan).
To go to your application's tab, you need parameter v=app_APPID
