Do I need to be verified to run on Facebook Platform?
No. Facebook Platform continues to be open and available to any developer who wants to build applications without barriers to entry. Simply build your app and launch it. Developers are able to leverage our tools to integrate within Facebook or outside, through Facebook Connect. The Application Verification Program is an optional program for developers interested in building long-term businesses that encourage users to engage with their applications and that receive increased access to Facebook’s communication channels. We expect the initial waves of verified applications to number in the hundreds.
