Facebook API "This app is in development mode"

People also ask

Why does Facebook say the app is in development mode?

This error is caused by a configuration issue in your Facebook Developer Application. This means your Facebook app is not live.

How do you change developer mode on Facebook app?

You can access the Developer Settings panel by going to the Apps panel or developers.facebook.com/docs, hovering over your profile image in the upper right corner, and selecting Developer Settings from the dropdown menu.

What does app not setup this app is still in development mode and you don't have access to it switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions mean?

App not set up: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions. This Error Comes because the app which is used to login in facebook , is in developement mode. So, other users can't login with their facebook.


I know its a little bit late but someone may find this useful in future.

STEP 1:

Login to facebook Developer -> Your App

In Settings -> Basic -> Contact Email. (Give any email)

STEP 2:

And in 'App Review' Tab : change

Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public? Yes

And you app will be live now ..


App Review > Make {Your App} public? > Yes

Click app review and Turn on the Make your app Public toggle. Save changes


This problem occurs when we set our app as unavailable to the public.

  • Go to Roles -> Testers, enter the Facebook user Id of the users you want to enable testing

Follow these basic steps to fix this problem,

Step 1: Go to Dashboard,

I had also faced the same issue in which my FB app was automatically stopped and users were not able to login and were getting the message "app is in development mode.....".

Reason why FB automatically stopped my app was that I had not provided a valid PRIVACY policy & terms URL. So, make sure you enter these URLs on your app basic settings page and then make your app PUBLIC from app review page as described in above posts.


in your app dashboard check status to on facebook change develope mode to live
