Facebook has announced changes to its App Dashboard for developers, with an updated setting section and a new app details tab that replaces an earlier app center section.
The new settings layout is designed to make it easier for developers to “navigate and configure” their apps. Changes include:
- Canvas settings are consolidated in Basic Settings
- Auth Dialog is now Permissions, which lets you configure permission settings for App Center and Auth referrals
- Android integration fields are easier to use
- Contact info is consolidated in App Details
The app details section provides developers “one place to update promotional details” such as text, images, descriptions, icons and contact info. The interface also allow developers to submit apps to Facebook’s App Center portal and monitor the status of the review.
