Platform Updates: Operation Developer Love

Since last Wednesday's update, we published Early Success Stories: Fitness and Open Graph

App Dashboard Update

This week we are renaming the Credits section to Payments and placing this under App Dashboard Settings.

Beta Tier Update

Starting this week, only developers (those who have authorized the App Dashboard) and test users will be able to access the Beta Tier.

Platform Policy Update for Games

We're updating our games policies to focus engineering resources where social games have the highest impact and drive the best user experience – on Facebook.com and mobile. Our updated policy (sections I.13.a and I.13.b) allows desktop web games off of Facebook.com to only use Facebook for authentication, publishing and Social Plugins. This will be a breaking change for a small number of developers who will need to be in compliance by December 5, 2012, in accordance with our 90-day breaking change policy.

Next Week's Breaking Changes

As announced in June, the following breaking changes will go into effect next week, on September 5, 2012:

• Deleting FB.Canvas.setAutoResize
• Built-in actions required for watching and reading
• Renaming 'likes' property of Comments and 'votes' property of QuestionOptions
• Minor change to admin.getAppProperties call
• Returning actual size in photo_src table

Check out the Developer Roadmap for more info.
