Pinning the version to 4.12.1 solves this problem

For pinning go to node_modules/react-native-fbsdk/Android/build.gradle and in line 27 change to compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.12.+')

Thanks for the notification! Please roll back to 4.12 for now. We'll roll out a fix for Android SDK soon.
Keeping the issue open till the Android SDK fix is up.

[cmcewen]

Can you update the build.gradle file and push a fix to npm?

Just shipped the android-sdk-4.13.1. It should be updated on Maven soon.

[dzhuowen]

Android-sdk 4.13.1 is up on Maven. Please do a gradle build to pull the latest sdk.
