Been doing this since 2010, a few races a year. It's racing that makes fun of racing, and is focused on fun. You can take it seriously if you want, but you don't have to. (The only thing they take seriously is safety!)

And being a team sport it also is a great way to build wonderful friendships. Highly recommended if you really want to spend some time on track in a wheel-to-wheel racing environment.

We had an issue with app creation last night. It should be resolved. Can you check now and see if things are working for you? (Sorry.)

Hi! We fixed some more stuff last night. Can you check and see if this one has been fixed or if you're still having issues with it?

Apparently I lied here. Now it should be restored.

OK, thanks. As of a couple of minutes ago we finished running the last job to restore the IDs. If you can still find one that's missing please let us know what the ID is.

These should now be restored. Can you double check for us?

Do you have some app ids so I can go and see what's up?

The short term plan was to make sure that we got developers up and running again. I know for a fact we're going to do an internal post-mortem for sure. To be 100% clear and honest, I'm not sure if that will turn into an external post-mortem or not. I'll personally push to do one, but I can't make any guarantees. (It's not my call so I can't promise.)

Oh, I wasn't actually complaining there. It's totally appropriate, we were just wondering when it would happen. (It was actually useful as a channel to find app ids that were having issues.)

Also, what were the other App IDs?

I'll add it to the list for sure. Can you verify that it's still missing?

OK, that helps. Other people that have IDs, I would appreciate it.

Yeah, we were kind of expecting that from stack overflow :(

Can you check again? We think that we've got them all, but I want to verify that it's still missing.

Can you verify that they are all back? And if some are missing, what their App IDs are?

Can you verify that all of them are restored now? If not, can you post an ID of one that's missing?

Smarter people than me are doing the actual work. That's why I have time to reply here.

Can you check and make sure that the apps have been restored? It should be fixed now.

OK. We believe that we have this 100% restored now. Can people here verify that all of their apps are back? (Make sure to reload the apps dashboard.)

If you still have one that's missing can you paste the app id here?

Still working on getting everything restored.

I admit that is a truly terrifying response.

Yeah, some people are still missing some of their apps. We're working on restoring the rest of them.

We're definitely working on it right now. Top men (in the non-sarcastic sense) are getting it fixed.

I don't know the root cause, nor how many apps were affected.

Edit: Sorry, don't mean to sound evasive here. I just don't want to provide incorrect data.

Today is definitely a something kind of day.

Hi. I work at Facebook. We're working on restoring the set of apps that were accidentally disabled. Many of them are back, some are still in process. (As people have pointed on the thread.)

Sorry about this. We clearly made a mistake.

Yeah, the /x/ was a typo. Remove it and it should work.

Do you have an example?

Do you have specific examples? I've killed a lot of docs-that-are-wrong over the last few months but I would love a list of anything I've missed.

Hi. I work on Facebook's documentation for developers. It's true that IDs are opaque and I don't think that we declare that anywhere in particular. (It's a known unknown?)

I've updated the Graph API getting started guide to mention the fact that IDs are opaque and also mentioned it in our comments guide since comments are one of the few places where we have IDs that are made up of other keys.

Thanks for the feedback - it's good to hear about things we can fix.
