Important Details for Developers on Profile Redesign Migration Plan

Facebook released the migration plan for developers tonight. Here are all the crucial points from the announcement:

  • The redesign is going live opt-in to users next week, and the full launch for all users will happen by the end of July.
  • Facebook will tell developers “at least 24 hours” before the final switch occurs.
  • Developers need to make sure they’re using the right PHP client for the new profile.
  • Facebook will pass in the fb_sig_in_new_facebook parameter to all pages to allow developers to know during the migration period whether the viewer is using the new or old profile.
