How to set FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled to TRUE in a cordova-ios?

[chopnut]

I seem to be getting this warnings on xCode after compiling/running platform cordova-ios?

I can't seem to find anywhere on the web how to enable this on my project.

: Please set a value for FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled. Set the flag to TRUE if you want to collect app install, app launch and in-app purchase events automatically. To request user consent before collecting data, set the flag value to FALSE, then change to TRUE once user consent is received. Learn more: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-events/getting-started-app-events-ios#disable-auto-events.

: You haven't set a value for FacebookAdvertiserIDCollectionEnabled. Set the flag to TRUE if you want to collect Advertiser ID for better advertising and analytics results. To request user consent before collecting data, set the flag value to FALSE, then change to TRUE once user consent is received.

I was under the impression that this is the default.

Current set up:

I suppose it's done in .plist of your xcode.

I suppose you are tracking your app events in Facebook manage app events. Are you facing the some problems in tracking the events due to logEvent?

Add these lines to info.plist

  <key>FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled</key>
  <string>TRUE</string>
  <key>FacebookAdvertiserIDCollectionEnabled</key>
  <string>TRUE</string>

You need to disable it as it's enabled by default. Not asking user permission unless cleary stated in your privacy policy can lead to violation of RGPD and California Consumer Privacy Act.

This plugin is deprecated. Check out cordova-plugin-facebook-connect at https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-facebook-connect. That plugin now supports setting FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled with a new preference, and exposes a new setAutoLogAppEventsEnabled method.
