I want to know if it is possible to re-activate a Facebook App that has been previously disabled.
This is what happened:
We created a Facebook App and an iPhone App that connect to each other. After releasing our game to App Store, one of our programmers accidentally deleted the App from Facebook. Now players are shown a message saying the Facebook App does not exist.
We know this may not be possible, but still wanted to ask.
I work on the platform team at Facebook.
Unfortunately there isn't a standard way to do this since this isn't a situation that occurs often. However, I can imagine how painful this may be. If you could provide me with either of the following - the app namespace, canvas/connect URL for the app or the app ID, we may be able to help.

I started getting a warning saying "Ad serving is limited" in my React Native app and ads are no longer showing. I also use my app on PlayStore and naturally I can see my own ads. When I researched, I found out that this is prohibited and I never thought it would be illegal. I don't want to work with any other ad service other than Admob. I have two questions regarding this situation:
1- Is it okay if I open a new admob account and put ads in the same application again and add my own device as a test device this time? I mean, don't I have the right to do something like this because this practice was penalized before?
2- Where can I find a list of such strict rules in order not to experience a similar situation?
Not problem if you only opening the app to see the ads, but it's forbidden to click the ads.
It's not allowed to have 2 admob account per user, once it found out, your both admob can be banned permanently.

Check again how you serve your ads, I have limited ads before, then I found what the reason and update the apps, limit got removed within one week.
I'm submitting my first app through iTunes Connect. It is a social networking community so I have to provide a demo account for the submission. My app already has a live database of users as there is currently an active web version.
I'm new to this and confused as to how I should handle this. Should I be creating a demo account that will not show up in any other live user's search results? Are the testers going to be attempting to interact with other live users? I am assuming I will need to show the various functions of the app, like messaging and events. In that case should I be creating a few "demo" users for the testers to interact with?
Alternatively, should I be linking them to the development version and development database? If that's the case, then the build that I send them would only be a development build then?
I am confused on how this is supposed to work and can't seem to find any information to help?
In my experience, you'll need to give them the production version that will go into the store. So not the development build.
When we submit an app for approval, it seems to get installed and activated on a couple of devices, but nothing much ever happens. They barely use it, as far as we can tell. We can tell that it's installed and run. We have previously been rejected when the network connectivity wasn't working right, so we know that they do look at the app after it's installed.
I'd suggest you make them an account that looks relatively anonymous (or even "Test Account" which you real users are hardly likely to try to interact with). You could create another account and say "If you want to send a message, send it to account xxxx". We've never had them interact with our app enough to utilise the suggestions we've made.
If you have an active / inactive flag, you could think about making these accounts inactive once the app is approved, then re-activating it when you next want to submit your app.
I am creating the app which loads the HTML page in UIWebView. Here, we are doing the offline capture feature for the app(doing encryption and storing data to the device using coredata).
Note : My App UI is completely UIWebView.
Recently, I heard that these kind of apps gets rejected by apple app store.
If it is true or some one have the same rejection, please provide the info.
your help could be appreciated.
Just using HTML as an implementation method of your UI doesn't become a reason for rejection. This once has been an issue a few years ago, and Apple formally does not limit implementation method anymore. If they do, most of hybrid app platforms couldn't work.
If someone have rejection of their HTML UI app, that should be due to bug or crude implementation of the app features rather than using of HTML stuff. In many cases HTML based UI on mobile systems fails to provide nice responses, then you need to care a lot not to break them. If the reviewer think your app is broken, then your app will be rejected.
Take care that the basis of normal or working state is always Apple's native app.
Yes. An app which its purpose is only to preview a website will be rejected based on Apple's Review Guidelines. Your app has to offer a minimum functionality and introduce at least some App Specific values to be acceptable. You can refer to this link for more information on Apples policy for releasing new applications:

Does anyone know how to access Contacts in Windows 8 Store apps?
I know that because of the sandboxed nature, Windows Store apps cannot access AddressBook from files such as Outlook Express contacts or Outlook, but since there is already an app called People that comes pre-installed, I figure why not let users make use of whatever Contacts the user has already allowed the app to see, rather than creating separate list of Contacts for my app. It seems silly to recreate the wheel by asking the user to re-import all the contacts again.
I have seen Contact Picker example but I still have no clues how to get list of Contacts/People as in that People app.
I have not developed for mobile phone, however if the device is a mobile phone, surely the app is expected to use local contacts rather than keeping separate list of contacts. So I am thinking there's got to be a way to do the same thing on a PC or any device really, rather than each app managing its own contacts. I have not seen any guidance on how to do this. What are your thoughts?
I asked a similar question a few days ago and, after a lot of research, it looks like it's just not possible to get that information from the people app outside of the contract. The reason that it works within calendar/mail/messenger is because they're all technically contained within the same app and are able to use each other's data and violate normal rules.
A lot of people have pointed me to look at the live SDK, but it still seems like it's not at all possible to get people information in your app, since the SDK doesn't support it anymore.
Look at the ContactPicker class :

Another way is to share your resource or whatever you want to send and user will choose an app that will send or on any another way use your shared resource (url, image, whatever)
IMO the latter is preferred way since then user will have a choice of applications that can send mail or post that resource on facebook / twitter.

I have another question. I want to upload a picture to Facebook. I have found some tutorials to do this.
I've read that you need to register your app first on facebook. Is this absolutly necessary to test the functionality?
My app isn't finished at all and I just want to test if it works.
Yes you need to do that, discard the fact if your app is ready or not. It's just a policy.

I'ts quite easy so don't worry ;-)
Good luck!
