So yes – I'm using real accounts too.

Thanks for the tips, I too have found that using a test account is useful.

but i have a couple of questions (and i know you're probably the best person to ask).

1. Facebook has a policy for test accounts:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/T...
And still this method seems somewhat lacking and confining.
I, for one, do use a simple test account (as in, registered as a real account). What is your take on this? do you register it as a test account, or just as a normal user?

2. As for having 2 versions of the application (development and production), do you simply register them as two different applications?
