Facebook's App Center Announced!

Facebook announced it's own Application Store, the App Center, a place to find great and high-quality apps. "App Center, a new place for people to find social apps. The App Center gives developers an additional way to grow their apps and creates opportunities for more types of apps to be successful."

It will be available in coming weeks for web users, also for Android, and iOS users. A message was posted for developers: All canvas, mobile and web apps that follow the guidelines can be listed. All developers should start preparing today to make sure their app is included for the launch.

Facebook has announced a set of guidelines to get apps placed in App Center.

Apps that are considered high-quality, as decided by Facebook’s Insights analytics platform.

• have a canvas page (a page that sets the app's permissions on Facebook’s platform)

• be built for iOS, Android or the mobile Web

• use a Facebook Login or be a website that uses a Facebook Login.

All developers should create an app detail page. The page is required for being listed in the App Center, and it will also become the new destination when non-users search for your app on Facebook.

The best part for developers here is that, Facebook will allow paid apps for the benefits of developers.
