Facebook set to upgrade all apps to Graph API by April 30

Facebook set to upgrade all apps to Graph API by April 30

Summary:​Facebook is giving developers until April 30 to update their apps to use the new login and Graph API the company introduced in April last year, before apps are updated automatically.

Facebook app developers have until April 30 to switch their apps to the social network's second version of its Graph API before being automatically switched.
Facebook product manager Simon Cross said in a blog post on Tuesday that the company would begin upgrading all apps to Graph API version 2.0 on April 30.
The company first announced the new version of the Graph API, along with its new login with lightweight review process, at its F8 summit in April 2014.
Facebook claimed that the new version of the Graph API would help developers build, grow, and monetise their apps, while the new Facebook login would give people more control over the information they share with apps.
While the new API and Facebook login were available to developers from that date, the company said at the time that it would migrate all apps to version 2.0 of its Graph API automatically by April this year. Already, many developers are migrating their apps, according to Facebook.
Starting April 30, Facebook will begin upgrading all apps to the new login and second version of Graph API, and remove any permissions that, by that date, have not been approved via its login review. The migration will roll out to all apps over the course of a few weeks.

The company said it would also begin to default all unversioned calls to v2.0, telling developers that if their app makes a call to the Graph API without the version specified, it will behave as a v2.0 call to the same endpoint.
If an app has not yet been migrated, developers can opt in to the migration at any time by updating their app's code to use Graph API v2.0.
"We strongly recommend upgrading by these methods, rather than waiting for the automatic upgrade, as this gives you more control over when people start seeing changes in your app," said Cross in the post.

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
