Android: can't install multiple apps w/same Facebook app (APP_ID)

[sfeast]

[x ] I'm reporting a reproducible issue

Describe the Bug of feature request Expected that we can use the same Facebook app with multiple android apps. However when installing a 2nd app that uses the same Facebook app (APP_ID) Android throws this alert:

Expected Behavior

My understanding was that we should be able to use multiple apps with the same Facebook app. Especially since there is this feature for this use case (although I see it is for iOS).

Plugin version, OS, devices, etc Mac OS 11.6 Testing on Android emulator w/API level 30 cordova 10.0.0 cordova ios platform 10.1.1

Note I assume this is a facebook SDK issue rather than this plugin, but since https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4 didn't have this issue I'm wondering if this behavior is considered a bug.

The same problem here

I have this problem also, multiple different android apps using the same Facebook app id, using suffixes to return to the correct app afterwards.

I had been on https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4 until this last build, where I updated due to in app browser login being deprecated.

I found a temporary solution is add ${applicationId}

1. modified the platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml find a node <provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider${applicationId}123456789" android:exported="true" android:name="com.facebook.FacebookContentProvider" /> or
2. change it at plugin folder plugins\cordova-plugin-facebook-connect\plugin.xml find the line <provider android:authorities="com.facebook.app.FacebookContentProvider${applicationId}$APP_ID"

Another temporary solution:

1. Set any APP_ID, for example APP_ID = "app_package_name"
2. After init app use code facebookConnectPlugin.setApplicationId('your_facebook_app_id');

Hi @apren and @HCJSolutions,

Thank you for sharing your solution. Could you share more details about how can use the temporary solution for this problem? I made some tries but nothing worked for me.
