Question

I have just created a new facebook application to use in a page tab. When I check for the signed_request it is empty.

So I checked another app that I have done in the past. It is on the same server and the only difference in the setup is the dir name.

http://example.com/app1/ works

and

http://example.com/app2/ doesn’t

So I tried swapping the tab URLs in the apps over and app1 still works with app2s URL.

This lead me to believe there must be a problem with the way I have set up the application.

So I went through all the settings and made sure they were the same. They all are, except there are 2 that are not available on the app I just setup. They are “Encrypted Access Token” and “Requests 2.0 efficient” neither of which seem to relate to the problem.

I seem to remember in the past there was an option to pass through the signed request to canvas page, but I can no longer find it.

Has signed request been deprecated? I couldn’t see any mention of that in the docs.

Any help/comment appreciated. Otherwise I am going to have to go back and re-use old apps with new content in them, and I only have about 15 more before I run out.

Cheers
Alex

This seems to have been resolved now, I can no longer replicate it with new applications.
