Apparently there have been tons of changes in the way application developing worked. The developers documentation is like spaghetti, it is simply \u003Cstrong>horrible\u003C\u002Fstrong>. There are remnants of old, unsupported code everywhere. (Just take a look at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fdevelopers.facebook.com\u002Fdocs\u002F\">http:\u002F\u002Fdevelopers.facebook.com\u002Fdocs\u002F\u003C\u002Fa>.)
