React Native Facebook SDK 在 Android 上初始化

Question

I am integrating the Faecbook SDK into an existing react-native project and having the dreaded error: The SDK has not been initialized, make sure to call FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() first.

I have followed the instructions carefully, so strings.xml contains:

<string name="facebook_app_id">xxxxx</string>

And in AndroidManifest.xml, inside the application element, I have

<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>

I've made the changes to settings.gradle and build.xml as described.

All the instructions say that I shouldn't need to call FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() if I have done the above. I'm using react-native-fbsdk version 1.1.1 and react native 0.60.5

When I followed the instructions on a simple new react-native project it works, so I am wondering if it is a conflict with something in the app, but I'm not sure what to look for. Can anyone suggest how to debug?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In case it helps anyone else, I found the culprit by creating a vanilla react-native app with fbsdk integration and painstakingly copying in config from my real app until the facebook integration stopped working.

It turns out that removing tools:node="replace" from the application element in AndroidManifest.xml fixed the problem.

<application
 ...
 tools:node="replace">

(I'm not sure why this attribute had been added, the git commit message from the developer who added it was enigmatic and the app still seems to work without it...)
