Sandbox? how to test our App?

Hello,
We want to deploy our opensocial App to Ning, but can't find the sandbox? does Ning have one? else how can we test our App?
We tried creating a social network, and added Gadgets, and tried adding our App xml URL, but everything is displayed in a tiny box, is there a proper way to test an App?

thank you

Thanks for your reply.
So that would be the Profile view. what about Canvas view? how do users get into
canvas view? I can see some Apps are using pop-ups, so do all Apps canvas view have to be in a pop-up window?

Hi there -

1) Has anyone contacted you yet about being granted a Sandbox that supports OpenSocial v0.7? (If your Social Network has "Gadgets," that uses v0.5. We are currently supporting v0.7 in limited beta.) If you have not, let me know.

2) In v0.7 there should be a Canvas view as well as a Profile view. You should be able to fully test your Application XML both ways.

Thanks,
- Ernie

Hi Ernie,
Can we get added to the Beta also? We are experienced OpenSocial developers with over 30 apps running on 6 different containers running 0.7.

Can you send me details about how to get the sandbox? I'm having problems installing a simple application on Ning that works fine on Google.

I'd also like to know about this. I've sent an email re getting a sandbox set up (so I can write a Ning App that a number of people have been asking me for), but haven't received an acknowledgment or anything. How long is it supposed to take, or am I missing something?

Thanks
