expo-facebook

Source code for the deprecated expo-facebook package. This module is removed from Expo SDK in SDK 46. There will be no replacement that works with the classic build service (expo build) because the classic build service has been superseded by EAS Build. With EAS Build and Development Builds, you should use react-native-fbsdk-next instead.

Installation in bare React Native projects

For bare React Native projects, you must ensure that you have installed and configured the expo package before continuing.

Add the package to your npm dependencies

Add the required SKAdNetworkIdentifier items to your Info.plist: Facebook SKAdNetwork.

Finally, create a blank Swift file in your project (we recommend naming it noop-file.swift). Learn more: FBSDK blank Swift file.

No additional set up necessary.

  </application>
