I'm having a problem with my app working on facebook. The app has been running for weeks/months with no problem. I last checked that it was running properly last Friday afternoon... This last Monday, the iframe for the app refuses to load. Weird thing about it, it seem to be intermittent. I can get it to load some of the time, but it was working just fine last friday.
The app is located here: https://www.facebook.com/idahopower?sk=app_130660760316387
Any ideas on why this is occurring?
We finally found the problem. It was an issue that was fixed by changing some settings in the developer panel of the app. We switched it to iFrame based landing page (It was already showing iFrame, but apparently there is another setting in the "advanced" section that enables the iFrame - weird)... Once again, this must have been a result of a Facebook update.
What's your server error log say?
Are there any general problems with your hosting provider today?
Its most likely not a Facebook issue. Unless the proxy is having a bad day.

we offer our users the ability to use facebook to sign up on our site and until recently this was working fine.
Since 2 days ago (October 30th) we noticed our registrations using facebook significantly dropped (from around 50-100/day down to 1!) and when taking a look at the process we found that the registration was being cut off and only a small part was showing.
This is how it looks now: http://i.imgur.com/i4UCkAx.jpg
If I look at the source of the facebook iframe I can see the html tag has overflow set to hidden and if I disable this using Firebug everything looks as it should. But since this is on facebooks end there's nothing I can do about it to prevent it happening to our customers.
Has anyone else run in to this problem and found a solution?
The bug has been reported to facebook here: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/471852109598483/
I am trying to set up a tab with a link to a contact form from my site on Facebook.
I developed the 'app' through the developers site and have set up the page tab.
I've saved the app and it saves it fine (displaying a message saying changes were saved but it might take some time to propagate across all servers.)
Well I waited an hour and I still can't add the tab to my page. I tried locating the app page directly using the namespace, but I get an error message saying:
"[My App] cannot be displayed because the app is misconfigured."
I don't know how it is misconfigured? There are no errors when saving, so I don't know what the issue is or how to go about fixing it. There are no problems with the app that I can see... how am I supposed to know what's wrong with it?
All it is is a page tab. I've put the link to the page tab in, I don't have a secure page (https) so I have left this box blank but I don't know what to do now.
Any ideas how I can find out in what way it is 'misconfigured'?
This error usually occurs when you try to view the App Center page for the app when the app doesn't have the 'App Details' tab settings populated.
So instead of:
https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/APP_NAMESPACE
Make sure you are loading:
https://apps.facebook.com/APP_NAMESPACE
That page will display hints (if you are admin or developer of the app) on what you are missing.
And, adding to the answer already given by #Donn Lee, which pointed to the right way, you must also ADD A PLATFORM in settings, in https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP-ID/settings/
Last week suddenly the XFBML login button stopped working on our site. Instead of showing a nice FB login button, it just shows the button text. In Firebug, I'm getting an error:
TypeError: k.root is null
Strangely, the problem occurs on our production environment, test environment and my own development environment. The production environment hasn't been updated or changed for quite some time so it's not code changes on our end. All three environments also connect to separate Facebook apps, each with a different appID, so it also can't be a (accidental) configuration error with the Facebook app.
Does anyone know if it's perhaps possible that this is an issue on Facebook's end? They did do a compatibility breaking update on 5th of September, but as far as I can see, the changes are not related to the login button.
Anyone know what could possibly cause this?
This was a bug that would occur if you called FB.init prior to document.body being defined, (as in the HEAD), this has now been resolved.
I started to face this issue last week as well. I managed to solve with one of the options below:
1) The app's 'App Domains' was misconfigured (it should be a domain name and not a full URL):
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/225729134220754
or
2) Just replace the div (containing class fb-login-button) with a regular button to call FB.login, and all the things will start to work again.
This question is similar to: Facebook Error 191 on canvas app using FB.ui() for the 'feed' dialog (worked before, stopped working last week) which was never answered.
Starting today, after the user likes the page and enters the contest, the share dialog which presented itself stopped working and gave:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: redirect_uri is not owned by the application.
when logged in as an admin and just an error occurred for other users. This tab has been running well for a while now. I have confirmed it with an associate of mine. They did make a change to another part of the app (yesterday and today) but the sharing was still working until this afternoon. They did not change the part that generates the dialog.
The tab is: https://www.facebook.com/MedjoolDates/app_355398587864294
Anyone have any insight? Feel free to use 'cancel' rather than sharing and fake data to sign up, then unlike the page if you wish.
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here, there is a bug posted on Facebook Developes here:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/273845842724431
Can't help much without seeing your code.
One thing to check, make sure your redirection_uri is exactly as your domain registered with FB and that you include a trailing / ie http://www.myurl.com/ rather than http://www.myurl.com
I can't answer why it changed, but I had that error fixed by the above change before.
I am having the same issue. Am developing a new app with FB.ui feed functionality, which worked OK yesterday and today it gives the same error as OP.
Went back and checked an > 1 year old app with the same functionality; same error. I cannot see any other solution, than the FB dev team has changed something and not given notice.
I have a game in Facebook and suddenly a new problem came out. In Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer work fine. In Firefox the Facebook page loads good but when the game iframe starts loading, it gets a points that automatically reload the whole page. I can not understand what's happening. Anyone could know the issue?
You need to either accept third party cookies or locate the one cookie it needs to load (seems to be the developers's own website usually - look into the list of cookies currently stored on your computer in ff options) and whitelist(allow) that.
Since that answer is nowhere on the net and I just spent one hour trying to figure it out to fix the same problem I'm putting it here in the hope it'll help.
Well, it is good know problem for me, about half year ago I got the same also with Firefox. In my app real problem was that, firefox with his AJAX action, lost somewhere access token from parent window/frame...
My advice: try to stick access token to AJAX's request too.
Edit in response to comment:
Unfortunatelly, now I can't see any token in url into my app frame... but what I did then was something like that: (using jQuery):
$.get("http://mydomain/getInfo?id=12345 + '&' + (location.href.split('?'))[1])
where location.href.split('?'))[1] add session/access token to my intern AJAX request.
Anyway, if application works fine few days ago, check official facebook dev forum, there is often some cause on facebook side...
