Hey man!

Using plugin 6.4.1 I got the message below, so opening an issue like you requested. Let me know if you need anything else.

Cheers!

Updated today to NS 4.2, but I saw it also on 4.1:

Thanks for reporting this!

Looks like fi. the Facebook profile returns a "complex" data structure (android.support.v4.util.ArrayMap) which the plugin can't parse and ignores it.

I've now added support for this type (and android.util.ArrayMap - for older Android versions), which means you'll get more Facebook profile data once the user has logged in.

@EddyVerbruggen any chance you can release this as 6.4.2 instead of waiting for 6.5.0?

Many thanks!

Perhaps I will because the 6.5.0 release depends on Google releasing an update to their Firebase Android SDK and I have no idea when that will happen.

That would be awesome!

(I prefer not to commit unreleased versions of plugins out of fear later on there will be breaking changes that I am aware of).
