Description

After following all instructions under "Getting Started" and "Login" at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/react-native LoginButton with default attributes does not work. With prop publishPermissions the app crashes. Changing that to readPermissions results in error com.facebook.sdk.core error 3

Other than com.facebook.sdk.core error 3 I have no errors in console or in xcode.

I've tried default facebook-sdk v4.39 and also tried manually downgrading to v.438 and v.437

Reproducible Demo

react-native init [yourproject]

then following all official instructions here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/react-native/getting-started

Same problem using [email protected]

I found a solution using [email protected]. You can download this version from:
https://origincache.facebook.com/developers/resources/?id=FacebookSDKs-iOS-4.38.0.zip

I'm not using pods, I installed FBSDK manually as described in: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started/
so I just replaced content of ~/documents/FacebookSDK with the 4.38.0 version and now login button is working.

I got the same the same thing happening, I just followed the
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started/
Tried using multiple SDK (4.35, 4.36, 4.37, 4.38, 4.39), but none of them seemed to work...
I did not use pods either, just the javascript script file...

I actually tried both method, (both Pod, and both the Document /SDK), and none of them seems to work...

Just noting that this is still an issue. Im working on an app for the city of New York and am literally making excuses as to why the facebook login isn't implemented. Please look into this someone.

this problem was resolved by one or all of the following:
1) using latest version of fbsdk 4.39.1 (january 15 2019)
2) updated xcode to latest version
3) ONLY adding the following to appdelegate.m for tracking app installs. right below @implementation AppDelegate (leave everything else just as it is).
```

• (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
  openURL:(NSURL *)url
  sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
  annotation:(id)annotation {
  return [[FBSDKApplicationDelegate sharedInstance] application:application
  openURL:url
  sourceApplication:sourceApplication
  annotation:annotation];
  }
  ```
