b/ Set up your Facebook App:

  • If you have already set the login with Facebook for your app you don't need to do anything.
  • If you haven't set the login with Facebook for your app, please follow the process described in our online helps as it is exactly the same for the Open Graph, you can retrieve the information needed in the menu Settings > App Settings > External connections  if you haven't enabled the users add-on:
Facebook Authentication - 1/2 | Register as a Facebook developer
Facebook Authentication - 2/2 | Set up the login with Facebook

Once you have created your Facebook app,  copy and paste your Facebook App ID in the appropriate field in the menu Settings > App Settings > External connections of your back office and click OK.

You can now rebuild your app (click here  for the online help iOS, here for the online help Android).
