Facebook-ios-sdk: Apps suddenly started crashing, crashlytics velocity alert on +[FBSDKEventDeactivationManager updateDeactivatedEvents:]

[arkenthera]

Firebase Crashlytics started to send velocity alerts on ( at the moment ) 4 of our apps, around 10 minutes ago

Another month, and another Facebook iOS SDK crashing problem. Time to rethink whether you actually need this SDK in your app, and how it's implemented.

Keep re-opening and force close and on third or fourth try, your app should be able open fine.

Please stop commenting +1 just use the thump up.

you mean you uploaded a new version to the stores? how can you remove the functionality on the current app?

I was playing on Spotify and got crash I thought it was because of iOS 14 beta version

Yes, this option, here about 1 minute.

There are two options because one is for iOS and other for Android.

[mvandervelden]

It seems to be back alive for our app. For context: our app didn't have Log In-App Events Automatically turned on in the first place, but it still crashed.

Im here for some fun. I never used facebook-sdk and will never. My apps are tracking free; partly because i dont have time to add some metrics, mostly because i don't need them.

Don't work, our app is crashing and this option is already disabled.

[jaydenkieran]

Hopefully this will be the push that a lot of developers needed to stop using the Facebook SDK in their apps. A remote kill-switch (intentional or not) for apps running in production is completely unacceptable and financially damaging for the companies that use it.

[shining4u]

I cannot disable automatic Events. turning off it and save, doesn't change anything.

[coldfog]

So Facebook guys never test before they release? So unprofessional!

Installing FBSDKCoreKit (7.1.1)

Seems to be working... but need to test more...

[KevinLaRosa]

It seems working again. Don't need to throw tomatos to them even with tests some shit stuffs can happen. We are all developper here we know it. Thank the facebook team for the hotfix.

[11digits]

For me seems to work now, had the same issue but now seems ok

[jaydenkieran]

It's seems working again. Don't need to throw tomatos to them even with tests some shit stuffs can happen. We are all developper we know it. Thank the facebook team for the hot fix.

Not really a hotfix if it has been broken for hours, costing $$$ in revenue for various businesses.

[BorisMolch]

It stopped crashing.. not sure if because they fixed it or because we turned off automatic events...
Spotify is still crashing ...

[mikefogg]

Speculating, of course, but if events is null here... it's not going to have a count. This seems to be the issue our app is having (not fixed yet). They should make sure events exists before seeing how many of them there are 🤷

[XmasRights]

It's seems working again. Don't need to throw tomatos to them even with tests some shit stuffs can happen. We are all developper we know it. Thank the facebook team for the hot fix.

The fact that this has happened twice in one year, and has such a colossal impact on large and small businesses alike, goes beyond human error.

• Why weren't additional tests added to catch this issue after the initial hot fix in March?
• Why weren't processes put in place to make sure this doesn't happen again?

Lack of resource and time really isn't an excuse for an organisation as huge as Facebook

[hemantsharmakiwi]

Still crashing

[Vinzius]

Someone is going to have a rough day at Facebook.

Type checking all parameters in an Objective-C library is 101 (as you can't trust devs, and even less server responses).

If you didn't remove FB SDK from your iOS app until now, then use the Apple sign-in excuse to do so. And fuck (ads) marketing "benefit".

That's the dream, but migrating folks with Facebook authenticated accounts will be a massive pain for our users.

It's said that native apps must use official SDK here
Has anyone tried unofficial SDK or manual login and does it work?

[ethanhuang13]

Is there an alternative to this SDK that can do the Facebook account authentication (I seem to recall someone mentioning an aws alternative during the last incident)

@XmasRights For log-in, you can use the web alternative by redirecting to safari in-app (not documented well, but there was a github project I forked and updated for FB a while ago, just removed it recently) : https://github.com/Vinzius/Simplicity

I've build a working alternative "SDK" the last time. But it's not allowed by FB's Platform Policy.

If you still need to use FBSDK but are considering building a "kill switch", you might want to check FacebookAutoInitEnabled in the official document for how not to auto init.

[bsonmez]

Same here !

[chmiiller]

Pinterest also crashes on startup

[prachigauriar]

Grubhub is still seeing a crash rate of 3%, now at
FBSDKRestrictiveDataFilterManager.m line 66 in [FBSDKRestrictiveDataFilterManager updateFilters:]

[devSC]

Has been fixed

[jan-bednar]

Just stopped crashing

[nuno-vieira]

At least migrating the SDK to Swift could improve the SDK.. It would be way safer 🤷‍♂️

[limaAniceto]

seems to be fixed now, the FB bug report is here:

yup, working again!

[gustavoteodoro]

I will say keep doing +1 until someone says we are working on it :p so one more +1 from my end

Please, open a PR fixing it or thumbs up the post and wait for a fix. Spam with +1s will not fix it faster.

@@ This is the serious bug. Could the facebook team help us resolve this issue ?

[conorot]

Here's a permanent fix:

1. Open Xcode
2. Select your project
3. Look at the top middle
4. Select Swift Package Manager menu
5. Find Facebook Package - remove

[pouyakary]

This is ironic 🙂

[thienphuoc]

crash all apps integrated facebook sdk such as Tinder, PUBG ,Tiktok....

[pingwinator]

so many crashes that Firebase Crashlytics can't process all of then
I have 503 error

Best solution:

Remove the Facebook SDK, use their auth API to perform the Facebook login instead.

unless you use Facebook for other analytics.

[DanBurkhardt]

You all know Facebook is doing some new shady business under the hood, like how they got their dev certs revoked last year by Apple for abusing the enterprise program and spying on kids.

You all should be cautious of what methods they are swizzilng, you can’t trust Zucc!

It seems like they have fixed the issue

Will Facebook allow using web API for login instead of their SDKs?

[pradipaub36]

"We identified the issue ~quickly~ and resolved it. "

Do we require to update the SDK for that?

Their API Is meant for web browser login but you could theoretically do it with a WKWebView.

[pradipaub36]

Do I need to update the SDK to the latest version to resolve this issue? the current SDK version is 7.0.0

[Rockson]

ppl really complaining about an open source project? How toxic is the ios community

Damn.. if you think that was toxic, just wait until you find out what Facebook did to our democracy.

[josephlord]

For Facebook login there are instructions on doing it Framework free here:
https://dev.to/marinbenc/implementing-facebook-login-on-ios-without-facebook-sdk-3k05

I also implemented this at the weekend to make a near drop replacement for login only:
https://github.com/josephlord/FMZDropInMinimalFacebookLogin

[ethanhuang13]

@josephlord I've done a similar thing the last time. I should remind that this violates FB's Platform Policy.

Hello Everyone,

_Best solution:_ Remove the Facebook SDK from your app 😍
_Another solution:_ Disable Facebook SDK Automatic Initialization 💪🏻

• By default, this SDK is getting Initialize on the application launch.
• Put it behind feature flag/remote-config, in case of next incident, use your feature flag/remote-config to kill it :)
• Details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-events/gdpr-compliance/#disabling-automatic-sdk-initialization

  my production app was crashing second time within a month 😉 so just trying to keep calm myself! 😈

[artud2000]

The fix on my end was

[FBSDKSettings setAutoLogAppEventsEnabled:NO];

[narlei]

For me, the best solution was create Framework wrappers and control it by feature flag.
