Developers, take note: The default migration of all pages to timeline at the end of the month doesn't automatically upgrade canvas applications into the new format.

Developers, take note: The default migration of all pages to timeline at the end of the month doesn’t automatically upgrade canvas applications into the new format.

A spokesperson for Facebook said:

Canvas apps aren’t automatically being transferred to timeline apps.

Pages cannot currently use timeline apps as a page. We encourage developers to continue to create apps (for example canvas apps) for their pages.

However, Facebook has made it easier for administrators to add tab applications to pages, by simply making this an option in pull-down menus on the respective tab app’s page.
