First time trying to create a Facebook app. Browsed to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and it had a link for to register before creating a link where you just accept the T&C's. Now it says, "Create an app to start..." But there is no button to click to create app.

  • Disabling your adblock should solve it. such a nice move from facebook to track us, don't you think so? – Stack Oct 24 '20 at 08:34

I was having this SAME exact problem just now. I have a verified personal account (email and credit card) and I couldn't see the button. This is what I was getting: enter image description here

I was at my wits end after 5 hours of reading similar questions and started pulling my eyelashes out...because I have no hair. I tried:

  • Turning off AdBlock
  • Testing in multiple browsers and OS'
  • Inspecting the area with Chrome Inspector...which turned up an empty #DeveleperAppDashHeader div
  • Praying to the rain gods

Eventually, I became so desperate that I started typing random urls, and this one, by the Odin's Raven, worked: http://developers.facebook.com/setup

It creates a popup window that will let you get the ball rolling. Let me know if this worked, because I am damn near ready to hump my chair with excitement.

Also, I suspect that this is a bug...because if I can create an App using this link but not through the dev dashboard, then something is up.

    I am facing the same issue spend whole day searching for Create New App Button. Tried this above mentioned link.No luck for me yet :( It seems facebook has taken note of your post and make it more harder to find. – Saurabh D Jun 12 '13 at 05:12
  • So it's 3 years later, but now it would seem that following these steps will yield a 60 day token rather than a token that never expires. – Sinaesthetic Jun 14 '16 at 21:43
  • It's 6 years later, and https://developers.facebook.com/setup now redirects to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/?action=create which unfortunately no longer helps :( – AuRise Jun 05 '19 at 15:45

Here is an explanation about how to create a new app - http://ftutorials.com/create-facebook-app/

First you should check that you are not trying to create a new application from business account. You can create new app only from a facebook account of a real user.

Also there is some facebook bug, that after you click on "Create app", nothing happens, but your app is created.
