Creating a Facebook App of Your Own

Creating a Facebook App of Your Own is not really that difficult if you follow our guide carefully and importantly define the need for Creating a Facebook App. Creating a Facebook App yourself is not difficult, but it consumes a huge time, so we need to weigh it.

 

Weigh the need before Creating a Facebook App of Your Own

 

I am writing an article on creating a Facebook App should not be the reason to make you unnecessarily busy. Creating a Facebook App of your own is needed when you want to use a PHP script, like as a part of plugin for Signup process through Facebook, for clicking Like in a secured way (you will only know the data) or to promote an Application.

The coding part of Creating a Facebook App is not difficult. But the graphical part is painfully time consuming, to be honest. I will suggest to read this article first, judge your need, plan to spend xy minutes per day to for Creating a Facebook App, rather than trying to do all in one day.

 

Steps for Creating a Facebook App of Your Own

 

There are two ways to use Facebook – as an User and as a Page Admin. For Creating a Facebook App, you have use Facebook as User. First make you account secure by forcing Always SSL, Login notification etc. First, go to this page :

 

https://developers.facebook.com/apps

 

On the top right there will be Create New App Button :

 

 

After this step for Creating a Facebook App, you can save it and work later.

 

A pop up will come, you have to give a name and a namespace, I will suggest to tick the option “Yes, I would like free web hosting provided by Heroku” :

 

 

Clicking continue will evoke the second step for Creating a Facebook App. It will ask for programming Language. Use PHP as its easy to work with and many Open Source Resources are available :

 

In the next step, you will be provided an URL for you App, like this :

 

 

Edit the Icons and Details on the main Facebook Developers page (not on the App Page of the above url) :

 

 

If your target for Creating a Facebook App is to get a secreat ID, that is done. Click the ‘Auth Dialogue’ and proceed to the third step for Creating a Facebook App.

This step is easy, just fill out the form and URLs. All done from the basic point. We have finished Creating a Facebook App from Facebook side. We need a Heroku Account and we can Edit it there. Simply go to the App hosted page ( https://salty-gorge-5565.herokuapp.com/  for this example) and click “Learn How to Edit This App” and you will land to Heroku and simply create an account. This is the forth step for Creating a Facebook App. It is a separate chapter as you need to go to https://toolbelt.heroku.com/ ; install the app and deploy it that will create an advanced stage for Creating a Facebook App.

 

The Fifth Step is to click that ‘Advanced’ link on the App page on Facebook. Scroll down the page and you will get the option to create corresponding Facebook App Page :

 

You will get an URL like this :

 

 

Creating a Facebook App on Heroku. Install the Heroku Toolbelt. Basically its a SSH client. I will suggest to go to github and find a free sample app and deploy it. That part of Creating a Facebook App will be the next article.
