I have initialized a new android project and I installed react-native-fbsdk on my project, after doing all the necessary configuration steps provided in the main page here, facebook getting started page, and the quick start for android page I am not able to run my project, even without writing any code.
Here's the error message I'm getting:

Solution
Turns out the problem is about the library_manifest issue, my computer's language is set as Turkish. After changing my computer's display language to English and restarting the computer I deleted node_modules and npm installed in the project and now it works.
I assume when installing react-native-fbsdk files there is a conversion from uppercase to lowercase for the filenames and this is the cause of the problem, since in Turkish there are two different letter "I"s. "I"s lowercase counterpart is "ı" and "i"s uppercase counterpart is "İ". Surely enough the "library_manifest" in the same file path has "i"s in it now in the working version. It used to be "lıbrary_manıfest", and I assume it showed "?" instead of "ı" in the console due to "ı" not being recognized.
I kindly demand a fix for computer's regarding languages that have the letters "i/ı". As it took me quite a long time to fix this issue and i hope in the future others who use computers with such languages won't have to face this problem.
