I'm developing an iOS game in Unity using the Prime31 Social Networking plugin to handle Facebook integration. Everything seems to be working; posting to walls on behalf of the app, graph requests, etc. However the app isn't being added to the user's games connections, ie. when I go to https://graph.facebook.com/myname/games?access_token=whatever it returns an empty set on my testing account. I know that other apps using the same engine and plugins are somehow able to get a connection on the user that returns this information about the game when querying "games" through the link above:

{

   "data": [

      {
         "name": "My Game",

         "category": "Games/toys",

         "id": "XXXXXXXXX",

        "created_time": "XXXXXXXXXX"

      }
   ],

   "paging": {
      "next": "https://graph.facebook.com/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
   }
}

Could I be missing something in the app setup, am I supposed to post this info myself to the user's game connections, or what?

Ah... this connection is not when you have installed an app of type 'Games', but when you have liked a Page which was created as a 'Brand or Product' of type 'Games/Toys'.

In other words, it is a peer of the movies, music, television connections, rather than anything to do with the apps a user has authenticated with.

Of course you can create a Page to go with your app. Get people to like it to appear in this enumeration for them.
