Over the past few days, numerous Facebook users have received an email with the subject “Developer unregistration notice alert ,” leading to confusion and speculation about a possible scam or phishing attempt.
Note: This is an official email from Facebook. This is not a scam or phishing attempt. This email is sent to people who have signed up for Facebook's so-called "developer program" at some point, for example to create their own app or perhaps a "Facebook login" on a website, etc.
The message begins with "Hello, we are notifying you that your development account does not have a role (e.g. Admin) in any app..." and then continues with a request to create an app or an app within the next 30 days Role in an existing app to maintain development account registration.
The intent of this email is to inform developers who have registered with Facebook but do not currently have an active role in an app. Facebook is informing these users that if they do not create an app or take on a role in an existing app within a month, their developer registration will be revoked.
The email from Facebook with the subject “Developer unregistration notice” is not a fake!
The message says: “Hello, we are notifying you that your development account does not have a role (e.g. Admin) in any app. To maintain your development account registration, we ask that you create an app or obtain a role in an existing app within the next 30 days. If this development account has not been linked to an app by then, it will be deregistered.”
Facebook also notes that if no action is taken, the developer account registration will be deleted in 30 days. However, it is noted that deleting the developer account will not affect your personal Facebook account.
Removing Developer Accounts with no active app roles…
This initiative is part of Facebook's ongoing efforts to keep its platform safe, as stated in the company's statement : "As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our platform safe, we are removing development accounts without active app roles after 30 days from today , May 28, 2023.”
With this measure, Facebook wants to improve control over app access rights, especially during the development phase. It is therefore in your interest as a developer to create an app or take a role in an existing app to maintain your developer account registration.

To maintain your registration, you must create an application or assume a role in an existing application within the next 30 days. Otherwise, your registration will be deleted, but this will not affect your personal Facebook account.
