I think I have everything right, but my app is not live. It says "This app is in development mode" I guess that is what they used to call sandbox mode, but I don't see where to take it off of development mode. Can someone please help me Thanks in Advance
This error is caused by a configuration issue in your Facebook Developer Application. This means your Facebook app is not live.
Those basically all mean the same – while an app is in sandbox mode/development mode, so “not live”, only the users added as admins, developers, testers to the app can use it and see content that was created through it. Only when you put it in live mode, every user will be able to use it and see content made via it.
App types cannot be changed. If your app needs products, permissions, or features that are unavailable to its current type you must create a new app with a different type instead. If you created your app before March 22, 2021 you may remove your app's type, which sets its type to None.
The solution that onkar has posted did not work for me. I think that the Facebook app interface has changed since onkar's solution was posted.
Here is what worked for me:
1) Go to https://developers.facebook.com
2) From the top nav bar select: Apps >> Your App Name >> App Review
3) At the top of the Status & Review page you should see "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?" with a toggle (no/yes) switch.
4) Click the toggle switch so it displays "Yes".
I am not able to make my app live.
Because:
At the top of the Status & Review page I am not able to toggle yes... "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?"
something I'm missing... after some research I solved the problem by adding developer mail id.
in May 2016 here's how we do it:
1) Go to https://developers.facebook.com
2) From the top nav bar select: Apps >> Your App Name >> App Review
3) At the top of the Status & Review page you should see "Make {App_name} public?" with a toggle (no/yes) switch.
4) Click the toggle switch so it displays "Yes".
as per the latest UI in Facebook Developer Account - you need to go App Review Tab/Menu at the left bar - 5th position from top.
