How to get facebook app in App Center?

Question

I submitted our facebook app for the App Center review, but it has been waiting for status for 10 days, in accordance with the facebook App Center directive http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appcenter/guidelines/ "Once it has sufficient positive ratings and participation , we will automatically review your page with detailed information about your application and will contact you if any changes are necessary before they appear in the category. "

Can someone tell me after the facebook application has been submitted for consideration, how to get enough positive ratings and participation? What is an accurate estimate / amount of participation? Where can I see the progress? How to connect with email via facebook email?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Do not disappoint you, but we tested our application for 4 months and 11 days before our patience ran out. We had 50K users and 400 5 * ratings from 450 total ratings. It's crazy how irresponsible FB relates to content viewing. We resubmitted the application for viewing, and it took several days before the application was live on the Application Center.

Positive ratings are when users who install your app rate it from 1 to 5 stars. The interaction basically consists in how many users have fully installed your application and how many have not been removed in a short period of time (the more the better). There is no exact amount, but, for example, 10K of new installations in the first week is better than 10K installs in the first year, but the number is the same. The same goes for the progress indicator - Facebook has its own internal indicators. Good luck with the review.

Answer 2

We cannot send the page / application details for viewing to the Application Center, because

"Your application does not currently have high enough ratings and user participation to view in the App Center."

I asked a few questions about this:

1) How can we improve ratings without being listed on the Facebook App Center? 2) Our user interaction is about the same as in other applications of the same category that are published in the Application Center. What is the critical mass to be considered? What numbers are relevant?

Answer from Facebook developer:

1) We randomly ask users who use your application to rate it. 2) There is no specific number. Our algorithm uses as much data as possible and tries to find out if this is a high-quality application. But overall, if you have a bad review, you need more active users, and if you have good reviews, you need less.

Update:

In our case, we had to disable web and mobile web implementation in the application details section because they had too few users (therefore, only Android / iOS was still turned on - our main applications). After that we got approval.

Answer 3

The application submission process is very tough. We need to strictly follow the recommendations. We need to know what type of application we are developing, as well as a list of permissions. Due to spam by many Facebook application developers, the Facebook application center required an exact reason to get approval for the required permission.

Here is an example of submission guidelines.

Tags There may be scenarios where your app users want to tag a friend. This tagging capability comes in two forms. One scenario is if the user takes an action with the friend (ie cooks a pizza with someone), and the other scenario is when the user simply wants to mention a friend (ie "Hey John Smith, let make a pizza next time"). If you choose to choose to support both action and mention tags, clearly distinguish the two different use cases in your submission. Action tagging appends "- with Friend" to the story. Mention tagging allows your app users to tag friends names within their user messages.
