The SDK has not been initialized

[AgustinV08]

Application crashes on android device after initialization.

Same for me. Just got this error for no reason. For me it craches only on android build. iOS looks working. On Android it says: Error: The SDK has not been initialized, make sure to call FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize() first.

I got a solution to my problem. I leave it here in case if someone it will help too.

In your App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml under application section need to add:

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

Then in the App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/strings.xml under the resources section need to add:

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

Hey I am having the same issue, but for me the solution didn't work. Can you share the code in order to see if I am missing something.

Tnx in advance.

@StefanAleksik I had the same issue. My main file was:

import Vue from 'nativescript-vue'
import * as application from 'tns-core-modules/application';
import VueDevtools from 'nativescript-vue-devtools'
import store from './store'
import SplashScreen from './components/pages/SplashScreen.vue'
import * as Facebook from 'nativescript-facebook';
import FacebookPlugin from "nativescript-facebook/vue";

Vue.use(FacebookPlugin)

if(TNS_ENV !== 'production') {
  Vue.use(VueDevtools)
}

// Prints Vue logs when --env.production is *NOT* set while building
Vue.config.silent = (TNS_ENV === 'production')

application.on(application.launchEvent, function() {
  Facebook.init("hidden-id")
})

new Vue({
  store,
  render: h => h('frame', [h(SplashScreen)])
}).$start()

BUT I accidentally put the meta-data

<application>
  <activity>
     HERE...
  </activity>
</application>

Because there was another meta-data present for SET_THEME_ON_LAUNCH. As documentation says, it should be outside of ACTIVITY but inside APPLICATION.

Everything is working now.

Hey tnx for the replay. In my case I have the meta-data outside of the activity and inside the application tag. Nevertheless I managed to make it work by changing the order of Facebook sdk initialization inside the facebook-login.andriod.js file in the node module. I saw also that the creators did the same. The weird part is that when I update to the new version I still get .js files instead of the .ts and some old code (so its not the code as in master on this repo).
