Problem
My brother has a facebook application, which is running for more than a month with lots of daily users. When we checked on today, the developer dashboard doesn't show the app. And it doesn't even list the app name in the list of apps (left pane of the dashboard). When we checked the error_log in the server, the last message is: [15-Oct-2012 22:28:31 UTC] OAuthException: Error validating application. Application has been deleted. Why Facebook automatically deleted the app? Or is it due to some glitch in the Facebook server? How do we contact Facebook team to investigate about this? Or, creating a new app with the same name and other details would be the only solution to this? Any hints or ideas about this issue?
