Rovio will also = speak about their experience of building on the platform with Angry Birds = Friends and Angry Birds Star Wars. Photo Hack Day 4: Facebook HQ, Menlo Park, April 6-7. We're pleased to = host this year's Photo Hack Day, a two-day competition for apps centered = around photography, photo editing, and design. With over 300 million photo = uploads every day, Facebook is the best place to share the images people = create on these apps. We'll be on hand to help make the social integration = easy. HackEd 2.0: Facebook HQ, Menlo Park, April 9. We're teaming up with the = Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to host HackEd 2.0, an = education-centered hackathon to build apps that facilitate learning. = Hackers will work with education experts to create social apps that help = high schoolers learn about and apply to colleges; facilitate out-of-school = studies; or aid in social learning. We're looking forward to helping these = apps and the people they serve succeed. droidcon Berlin: Berlin, April 9-10. Facebook has one of the most = downloaded Android apps of all time, built to work for millions of people, = on many different devices and versions of Android. Our first session will = cover the tools and processes Facebook uses to ship Facebook for Android, = including testing and build tools, the developer workflow, and the = structure of the codebase. We also recently rebuilt our Android SDK from = the ground up. Our second talk will cover the structure of the SDK and the = design patterns we considered, rejected or adopted. This talk will be = useful to anyone interested in integrating Facebook into their Android = app, or those building SDKs and libraries for others to use. Game On: Moscow: Moscow, April 15. The Game On series comes to Moscow for = more chances to connect with the Facebook EMEA games team and discuss = strategies to grow your game.

For example, if a person plays = Game of Thrones Ascent and sets the app privacy for =E2=80=9Cclose = friends,=E2=80=9D only those people will be able to see that game listed = in the Games section. As a reminder, games that use the Open Graph can also setup a stand-alone = app section by configuring collections and encouraging players to add it = to their timeline. April 2013 breaking changes As announced in January, the following changes can be enabled/disabled = using the "April 2013 Breaking Changes" migration until April 3rd when = they will go into effect permanently for everyone: Removing ability to POST to USER_ID/questions=20 As it's no longer possible for users to create questions, we will remove = this functionality from the Graph API.

As we announced in June 2012, we are moving from Facebook = Credits to local currency pricing. Local currency payments simplifies the = purchase experience for users, improves the performance of the payments = flow, and makes it easier for developers to price virtual goods for a = global audience.

We are migrating all game developers on Facebook.com in Q3 2013 and = want to provide ample time for you to review the new = documentation before we launch local currency payments.

What developers need to do

Developers should start reviewing the local = currency payments infrastructure today to prepare for the breaking = change later this year.

Developers who price in multiple international currencies should plan = well in advance for integration and testing. If you currently use Facebook = Credits as your in-game currency and you wish to continue to offer a = virtual currency to users, you will need to develop your own and plan = ahead.
