It is said you cannot create apps automatically with the current facebook API.
Create and Configure Facebook Apps via API
How to programatically create a Facebook application via JS SDK or Open Graph API? (createApplication)
Yet woobox.com does it.
I have created a few photo contests in their portal. It didn't ask for extra permission. No dialogs showed up. I just got these links:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/-/105892812908965?sk=app_422118604517529&app_data=dlt-1
http://www.facebook.com/pages/-/105892812908965?sk=app_451684954848385&app_data=dlt-1
How did they create these apps?
app_422118604517529
app_451684954848385
I would expect

www.facebook.com/pages/-/105892812908965?sk=app_SAME_APP_ID&app_data=WOOBOX_ID_2
You are correct with the presumptions that Facebook apps/users/groups and pages can't be created dynamically. What woo box is what many other page tab applications are doing. They create a number of applications for different templates and then customize them according to your inputs. They don't create apps dynamically. And these dynamic apps get their required data from app_data field.
Another point to note is
An app can't be installed on a page twice
that is why many Service provider that provide page tab applications maintain a pool of applications to fulfill their user's desires.

I don't see any option for Web under "receiving dynamic links" in Firebase Dynamic links page.
Without the SDK, there's no way to connect a post-install user with a pre-install click.
I have a desktop app that runs on node.js like a web app, using nw.js. What I'm trying to do is create referral links for users. After someone clicks a referral link, I need to be able to track his referrer. But the problem is that link is only going to take him to the download page, after he downloads and opens up the app for the first time, how can I reach his referrer info? The desktop app has no connection with the website that users download from.
I understand that this can be done with Dynamic Links SDK but can I use that SDK in a web app?(desktop app actually but runs with HTML/node.js)
The post-install deeplinking in Dynamic Links is just for Android and iOS - so there isn't an equivalent for a desktop app.
I have add a apps (BC API DISCOVERY ) in adobe business catalyst. But after add this app then showing a message in yellow box like
(This application is already installed on your site - but it needs to be authorized in order to function.Please contact your developer to authorize the app to run on your site and access your data.)
Please check also a screenshot
enter image description here
Take a look at this article - http://docs.businesscatalyst.com/developers/faqs/api-related-faqs#authorize-first
Basically you can copy the files from one site to the other, however, the first time you need to authorize the app. To do this log on with a partner user and you will have a button to authorize the app.
Do note the site you are authorizing the app for needs to be under your own partner portal.
If you are still having trouble let me know:
-the site you are trying to install the app on
-the app key
-the username you are logging in with

I'm trying to follow this tutorial for Google's Analytics API.
The tutorial says "If you haven't already registered your application with the Google Developers Console, then set up a project and application in the Developers Console".
The documentation for the Developers Console says "A project consists of a set of applications...", which makes sense.
I'm able to create the project, but I don't see any way to create an application within that project. Both pieces of documentation linked above instruct me to click on "Registered apps" in the left sidebar, but there is no such link. (I believe these docs were written for an older version of the Console.)
On the recommendation of another poster, I tried using the old Console instead, but I can't find any "Registered apps" link (or any other way to create an application) in that version, either.
Any ideas?
You didn't say whether you were doing this as a service account, web app, or installed app but this should get you pointed in the right direction for all of those.
And, Google radically changed the console UI.
The application gets created when you create the credentials for an application type.
If you created the project in the Google Console, select the project and follow the instructions in the tut you linked to:
Go to the Google Developers Console.
Select a project.
In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth. In the displayed list of APIs, make sure all the APIs you are using show a status of ON.
In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
Add this step: Click on the "Create New Client ID" button then select the application type.
In either case, you end up on the application's credentials page.
To find your application's client ID and client secret, and set a redirect URI, expand the OAuth 2.0 Client ID section.
Write down the values for each of these fields:
Client ID
Client secret
I have created an ASP.NET Dynamic Data Website using VS 2012.
Now, I need to add authentication/access control to this site.
By default this project type does not come with any Login page,.. to control access to the application.
Could you please suggest a quick and clean way of controlling access?
I do not at this point of time need table level security.
Just letting authorized users to access this application is sufficient.
Thanks a lot
The behaviour I would like is for a user to be able to visit a custom built website and if they are already authenticated against sharepoint for the custom website to know who they are and give them various rights. If they are not recognised by sharepoint then I would like them to login to sharepoint and be directed back to the custom website.
Sharepoint picks its users and groups up from Active Directory. I don't know much about the internals of the server, but the custom one will be in a separate domain (I think) though I have full control over the custom and moderate control over the SP infrastructure.
A hint at how to progress would be great!
As you rightly said SharePoint can be condigured to use Active Directory for Authentication and User Management. So AD and Sharepoint are 2 different things and you are just linking them. You can develop your custom asp.net application to use AD for Authentication.
Using SharePoint groups in your custom application is difficult (You will have to develop your own service which will check the loggedin user and see if he is present in the SharePoint group)
Another option is to use a Custom ASP.net membership provider and use this in your sharepoint application. This way you can use the same asp.net membership provider for your asp.net application.
Check out Configuring Single Sign on for SharePoint. Could give you some ideas.
