It's a very good way to encourage your users to spread the word about your app and your content. Since last week, [the Android beta is opened](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/goodbarber-for-android-now-open-in-beta-a126/)[on GoodBarber](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/goodbarber-for-android-now-open-in-beta-a126/). You probably noted that new options have appeared in your backend: in expert mode, you can now upload a specific icon and a specific splash screen for your Android app. In order to set up properly the sharing options in your app, **you need to set up a new parameter** in the Facebook and Twitter apps you have already created. Here is a little summary of the modifications you have to apply to your social apps if you have already created them. ## Facebook ![](https://cmsphoto.ww-cdn.com/superstatic/41269/art/default/5440965-8117400.jpg?v=1366902771.355293) When creating the Facebook app that is used on your iPhone app, you have set it as "Native iOS app". You guess that now that you also have a **Native Android app**, the settings should reflect it :) So, go on , click on the **Apps** tab, and find your app. Here, click on the "Edit app" button, and choose the "Native Android app" option. You have to enter 2 values : - Package name - Key hashes These ones can be found in your GoodBarber backend, on the **Design > App options > Facebook** page. Be also sure to have the **Facebook Login** line set to "Enabled". The whole Facebook app creation process is also described in your GoodBarber backend's online help, or on the [GoodBarber portal](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/authentication-and-users-groups-r102/facebook-authentication-1-2-register-as-a-facebook-developer-a89/) . ## Twitter ![](https://cmsphoto.ww-cdn.com/superstatic/41269/art/default/5440965-8117401.jpg?v=1366902771.445978) For your Twitter app, things will be easier :) Go to , open your app settings, and click on the Settings tab. If it's not already done, you can upload an icon for your Twitter app. You should! Then, enable the **Read and Write** option and enter the following Callback URL: **http://127.0.0.1** And it's done :) The whole Twitter app creation process is also described in your GoodBarber backend's online help, or on the [GoodBarber portal](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/facebook-and-twitter-r43/twitter-a32/) . - [#Android app](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/android%20app/) - [#Connector](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/connector/) - [#Facebook](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/facebook/) - [#Social media](https://www.goodbarber.com/blog/tags/social%20media/) ![](https://blog.goodbarber.com/_public/profile/ca/ca3512f4dfa95a03169c5a670a4c91a19b3077b4-default.jpg) About the author Dominique Siacci CTO Co-founder and CTO of GoodBarber. I drive the product's technical vision: architecture, infrastructure, and more recently the integration of AI at the core of the platform. A developer at heart, I stay close to the code and the engineering decisions that enable thousands of GoodBarber users to publish their apps without writing a single line of code.
