So, i created a facebook app but i didnt really understand why an ssl certificate is required. Am accessing facebook from a https connection and my app is accessible without having any certificate. Any information about this guys? Thanks

It is needed. Why exactly I don't know
You can get a cheap one on namecheap. $7/year. I bought for the same purpose last week.

You will need an ssl certificate compulsorily. You can purchase a ssl certificate for 2$ at namecheap and a few other sites.

Else, you can you the shared ssl certificates you get on shared hostings.

Shared SSL is not recommended as it is not digitally signed by certificate authorities and will show warnings when user use them.
