FBConnect "through" link damaged in download messages from iOS application

Question

I posted this on regular SO before I found the Facebook-specific, so hopefully it will get more love here.

I have an iOS app that successfully posts to Facebook via the FBConnect SDK. I registered the application on Facebook as a native application for the iPhone and filled in the necessary data (package identifier, application store identifier, etc.), however, I ran into one small but very unpleasant problem.

When the application is uploaded to the user’s feed, the message has an “through the application” link, which is supposedly included in the application store or somewhere reasonably. This link never works, it always goes to the page with the message "Page not found" without any useful information.

The link looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id= $ {app.id}

I checked that the identifier that it inserts is actually my application identifier. Can anyone shed some light on what might cause this and some possible fixes?

Answer 1

You are missing the website settings for your application. See an example:

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=204143816348127

The facebook notification displays a message that the user has been redirected to the landing page. You need to define the landing page in your application settings so that it can be used. Otherwise, he cannot get there.

Answer 2

In Settings / Basic, it places your URL in the Website and Mobile Website section.

I am a regular browser, it will use the URL “Website” on the mobile platform (iOS, Android, etc.), it should use the URL “Mobile Web”.
