How can I make a Facebook app that doesn’t require users to log in/authorize my app? Is it even possible for canvas apps?
The conversion in auth dialog is quite poor (39%) for my app, even though I ask for the basic information only. Hence the question.
Thanks for advice!
There are no special actions necessary to run a canvas app in Facebook without authentication. Simply set the Canvas URL and Secure Canvas URL in your app’s settings (
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/<app_id>/summary) and it should just work.Keep in mind that you cannot access any of the useful functionality Facebook offers if you forego authentication. You’ll be missing out on:
In fact, if you’re not leveraging any of the available functionality Facebook provides, there’s no sense in even creating a canvas app. You might as well enjoy the benefits of using the entire window for your application and host it standalone.
