Facebook SDK Update

[localteampartners]

Will updating the Facebook SDK from 11 to 12 prevent this plugin from working properly?

[jbfm]

Yes, will fail during build

Please update. Thanks

Sorry for late reply. Kindly, navigate to this path in the specific plugin folder \apache\cordova\facebook\ConnectPlugin.java:257 comment out this line in the java file. line 257 in my case AppEventsLogger.deactivateApp(cordova.getActivity().getApplication());

Immediately I did this, my build went on successful. I discovered from research that the method is no longer needed in Facebook SDK version 12. So why keeping it

Also, if you encounter such error in Facebook SDK 13, do same by commenting the methods that cannot be found. It may not be only this in your case: AppEventsLogger.deactivateApp(cordova.getActivity().getApplication());

I hope this helps Thanks

How about iOS, sir? I got a lot of error when trying to upgrade to Facebook SDK 12 for iOS

@ndinhphi Please can you share the specific error message you got when trying to upgrade to a higher version of the SDK on iOS.

This issue still exists I choose FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION to 15.2.0

activateApp(Application application): Notifies the events system that the app has launched and activate and deactivate events should start being logged automatically.

activateApp(Context context): Deprecated. Use activateApp(Application) -- In the above function call.

deactivateApp(Context context, java.lang.String applicationId): Deprecated. When using activateApp(Application) deactivate app will be logged automatically.

Reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/androidsdk/current/facebook/com/facebook/appevents/appeventslogger.html/

So commenting out AppEventsLogger.deactivateApp(cordova.getActivity().getApplication()); will be helpful
