I am setting up a facebook app. It requires iphone app store ID.
In my itunesConnect I have setup the app and it has given me the AppID, a numeric number. The app is not on the market yet.
I put that number in my facebook app setup, but it gives me an error, saying we were unable to fetch app from app store.
Where am I going wrong?
From your Facebook account leave blank for iPhone app store ID
Remember:
You cannot add any existing app id into your Facebook account because that app has already registered that ID for their own FB account
Facebook no longer enable entering a blank AppID.
What you need to do is enter 0 as the App ID and click save.
please note that every change in the app details on Facebook will require entering 0 before save.
Also, you won't be able to login into the app with non developer or testing accounts until the FB app is released.

My app is live on the iOS app store and I've set up App Invites with the latest FB SDK (v4).
Everything must be set up correctly in terms of the App Link as the invite works with test users but not non-test users, a notification is received and the user is taken to the app store when they click on this.
Is there an extra setting on the Facebook side that needs switching on for this to work with regular users?
I'm trying to set the iPhone Store ID on our Facebook App to start a Mobile Add Campaign, and every time I try to save the profile it shows an error stating the following:
We were unable to retrieve your iPhone Store ID from the iTunes App Store. Please double-check your ID and try again later.
Our app is already live and accessible in the New Zealand app store only. Is it required to have it available in the US store for Facebook to be able to validate it?
I'm making an app that uses Facebook APIs. Facebook wants me to enter the App Store ID when I'm setting up my app on developers.facebook.com. I am still working on my app and am nowhere near ready to release it on the App Store. Is there a way to get an app ID that it will accept so I can test my code before releasing it?
I found a similar question from 2011 where people said to just use another app's ID or enter "0". Neither of those work. Someone said to create it on iTunes Connect and just not upload it; I got an app ID from that, but Facebook says it's invalid, which doesn't surprise me since I don't see how they could check that unless I publish the app.
The Facebook App ID is not the same as the App Store ID. You can get one at developers.facebook.com. Facebook does allow you to set your App Store ID in your FB App's settings, but it is optional.
I want my game to be able to post to your Facebook wall. For this, I made a Facebook Developer app, and fed the API key to the SDK. It works.
I noticed that there is a "Submit for app review" button in the Facebook app page. Since all I want is to post to someone's wall (which I managed to do already), is it necessary to do this? Can I simply leave the Facebook app alone, or is there like a time period before it gets deleted or something?
Nope - you need to "Submit for app review" and getting it approved by Facebook before you sent your app for publication on the Apple App store. In fact at the moment your app is running in sandbox mode - that means that it works only using your FB account or the FB account of any other developer/tester you might have added to your app via the Facebook Developers website. If you try to perform a FB login within your app using a different account, at this stage you will receive an error (you can easily test it).
If your concern is about - how will they test my app if that is not release yet? Well they won't test it - the only thing that the Facebook team will check is that your Facebook App page is complies with all their requirements - therefore be careful to upload a logo of the right size, without a background, etc (they have a series of rules to follow).
When a user clicks on a facebook mobile install ad on ios an app store window pops up.
As answered here What happens to an iOS deeplink when the app is not installed? it's not possible to put any custom parameters to be an launch parameter on the first app launch.
Is there a way after the downloaded app was opened and the user logged in with facebook to get information about which ad he clicked befor? Because actually there is a connection between ad, itunes app id, and facebook app id, isn't it?
I asked a similar question today. But from the information that I was able to find, that is (most likely) not possible.
Even if your app requires the user to register with Facebook and you therefore you have a FB user Id which could potentially be matched against.. Because Facebook gives you the total install counts only, but not a list of user Ids of FB users who clicked your ad, I really can't imagine how to get that info. Unfortunately.
I think we can use this link to check the Activities done on the FB Ad's.
