I know there are currently two methods that can be used to do this, documented (poorly) on Facebook's Developer site:
The old (depreciated) JavaScript SDK FB.Connect.createApplication
A new FBJS method Facebook.createApplication (only for use on Canvas pages)
The problem is that I not using a Canvas app that runs FBJS, and I am not using the OLD JS SKD. I am trying to do this on a regular old PHP website that uses the current JavaScript SDK and the PHP SDK.
I am doing the usual Open Graph API calls and such with the current SDK, so I understand the basics, I'm just not sure how to proceed to use the OLD SDK, or if (fingers crossed) I even really have to?
So, is there a way to make new Facebook Apps with the current JS SDK? Or with a server side PHP SDK call to the Graph?
And if not, how do I call the old SDK to do this?
Thanks
UPDATE: You still can't do this, but there is an official bug in the Facebook tracker about it: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/295627350461318
There isn't outside of the OLD SDK as you indicated. It's been removed (what Facebook calls "deprecated"). I put in a feature request recently for them to add it back into the API:
Me:
The Facebook Developer tool is
considerably lacking in features. We'd
like to be able to create a third
party application that adds layers of
functionality to the developer
application, but we'd need to be able
to create and administer applications
via the Graph API.
The Graph API supports querying for
information on existing applications.
To create, administer or delete
applications developers must go to the
Developer Application.

I currently have continuous integration that updates an extension on Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add On Market, however I am now trying to make a script that uploads to the Microsoft Partner Centre. Does anyone know how to upload via API to this Microsoft Partner Centre? (Specifically for Browser Extensions).
Microsoft just released the Microsoft Edge Add-Ons API which finally gives the ability to programmatically upload browser extensions to the web store via an API.
If you're using Node, can use the Edge Webstore Upload package to work with this API.
Do you want to upload Edge extension to Partner Center using some API? Partner Centre does not have such an API to provide to upload extensions. Correct me if I misunderstand what you want.
If you want to upload Edge extension, please refer to Publish your extension. If you want to update Edge extension, please refer to Update An Extension Listing.
So I found it particularly hard to write a script that would do this, so hard that I had to use Selenium due to all the JS loaded on the Microsoft Partner Centre sites. Never the less, I have written a script that will login, upload a new version and publish it (note that it won't work unless you've created and uploaded the first version of your extension yourself).

I'm new to Facebook development. I'm working on migrating an existing app in accordance to the Graph API upgrade guide. I'm looking for guidance around calls such as api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery.
My question is: does this type of API need to be upgraded as well, or does it only apply to graph.facebook.com calls? I want to ensure that api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery calls will still work after 4/30/15.
You may want to take a look at the Batch Requests of the Graph API. You can also specify dependencies between the requests.
Calls to http://api.facebook.com/method/Fql.multiquery will no longer work. The REST API is long deprecated anyway.
As #luschn said, you have to migrate to the Graph APIs batch requests, and use the /fql endpoint. You can only use FQL if you have a v2.0 app, and not higher.
I am developing a mobile application with MonoTouch and Mono for Android, and possibly Win8. I need to access the Facebook API, and I would prefer to do that in C# given the above mentioned platforms.
I know that I can make HTTP requests towards the Facebook API myself, but I am wondering if there are any libraries that wraps these for me and give me an object model to program against. I have done some searching around but have mostly come across libraries that are no longer supported or shut down.
Does anyone have recent experience with my problem and can give recommendations?
This should help you get started with the facebook integration using Mono for Android.
I am not sure what limitations (if any) there are with regard to using these libraries on a mobile device, but there are some Facebook SDK's for C#.
Here is one -
facebook-csharp-sdk
I have decided to follow a native approach to get as close to a seamless integration as I can get.
For iOS that means https://github.com/mono/monotouch-bindings/tree/master/facebook which are bindings to the official Objective-C Facebook SDK. I have done login so far and that was very easy. With the access token in place I can make future Facebook API calls from a library like the above or I can create a Mono class library with a service that wraps HTTP calls. This service can then be reused in any C# project (such as Mono for Android).
My plan is to do something similar for Android. I have seen people compile the java library in MonoDevelop as an AndroidResource and then create a wrapper which calls into the Java.
I have recently found those two look-alike solutions/IDE for cross-mobile development: Appcelerator and Rhomobile (I know there are more) and I have questions regarding those two platform:
1) I believe the only way to build the view is using HTML, which I like alot the ideas. But, does that mean the application itself isn't available if the mobile is offline?
2) Do you guys know if it's possible to publish the application to the App Store and Google Store?
3) Are there any simulator for different mobile and do they support all those slide/tab events?
4) And finally, are there a way to transfert the App on your mobile phone without having to publish it anywhere.
Please note that I have no knowledge at all about mobile app dev and those two solutions (Appcelerator, Rhomobile) would be perfect for me as I am familiar with Javascript and HTML.
Thank you!
Ok I have only used appcelerator but:
1) a webview is like a browser without the address bar, it simply parses HTML, where it gets it from is up to you. If you write the HTML and pass in a file well then yes it can be offline, if it is used to parse a response from a webpage well then no as it needs to send a http request to the webpage.
As many people seem to mistake (for a reason unknown to me as all the documentation states other wise), appcelerator is not the same as phonegap, appcelerator uses its own javascript based API to allow developers to make native apps, it is NOT a webview wrapper. It is offline by default and allows you to send http requests if you need something online.
2) yes you can publish to the app store and the google store from appcelerator, the documentation walks you through the process.
3) Appcelerator requires you to download either the IOS sdk or Android SDK which come with simulators, appcelerator / the emulators support the standard events found on these devices.
4) With Android to can build a .apk file and distribute however you wish, with IOS the only way is to publish to the app store. the only other way is to make a mobile website instead of an application
How do you use cloud storage such as Dropbox in your C++ Apllication ? I've checked out their API and they only have Java, Python, and Ruby options. If you cant use dropbox with a c++ app, is therte any cloud storage provider that has an API for C++.
The drop box APIs seem to be wrappers for a http interface.
So if you want to hit them up from C++ you can use a http supporting library like libcurl to access stuff using the REST api
Droper is an open source C++/Qt Dropbox client that I have recently wrote. It can be compiled for Windows and Linux, but the GUI is optimized for Symbian mobile phones. Check it out.
I've found several differnet APIs on their website, righ under the place you propably found the ruby / pathon stuff..

Not sure if this is, wha you were looking for..
