Since everyone else has already +1'ed this, I'll ask a question. Should we be expecting this soon, in a few months, never? The last commit was 3 weeks ago and we're not sure what the status is.

This is something we would like to have and support, but there's no timeline or schedule to announce at this time.

I think this lack of support, whatever the reason is, is hindering React
Native to really shine. Most people who are struggling here are not
familiar with using native module or native UI components in React Native
JavaScript.
I think that it is worth while if you invest in tutorials (videos, best
practices and stuff) for using fbsdk with React Native, both in iOS and
Android, so that you no longer have to maintain this for the community, and
we can customize the behavior to our heart content. The fbsdk is complex
and featureful enough that the experience can be applied to other native
libraries.

@nlhkh @mingflifb @pickhardt First this is an amazing repo, thank you guys so much for creating this, but I also agree that there haven't been many updates...as a developer, I would love to get more help on this SDK. I also think maintaining this repo is a good business decision since it gets more developers to adopt the Facebook platform :-)

Can you please provide support as soon as possible? It would be really helpful for all of us.

In FB's defense, the people working on RN have a lot to do and I suspect are spread thin. This particular repo feels unmaintained, and could use some more focus, but RN on the whole is a great gift from Facebook that we should be grateful for.

[yogurt-island-331]

I cannot agree with you more, RN is absolutely amazing, and I definitely
understand that they are spread thin and I am really grateful for their
hard work

I would definitely agree about the awesomeness of React-Native. But Since React-Native has just been released for android, There are not a lot of modules which people can really refer to. So, It would be awesome if Facebook itself provides this and People can use this as a reference while creating other modules or exposing UI Components.

[PhilippKrone]

Are there any news here? It would be highly appreciated to have android support :)

@dzhuowen Do you know whether someone is working on it at the moment?

There is a PR up in my repository which people have verified is working but it's important to note my library is focused on login. Any additional features such as sharing and graph requests may not be as simple as through this library. Maybe we can merge the result into this library as well, somehow.

this would be great +1 👍

[mattds]

👍 @dzhuowen any plans to support android?

[magus]

Android support merged into my repo
https://github.com/magus/react-native-facebook-login

[pickhardt]

The thumbs ups are pretty redundant at this point.

[jaggs6]

Maybe requesting the React Native Engineering Manager might help. @obishop

[rt2zz]

Please consider using https://github.com/magus/react-native-facebook-login - it wraps the SDK and should not be hard to extend with other functionality

[niftylettuce]

I agree with @rt2zz -- Android support is in the /android examples folder here https://github.com/magus/react-native-facebook-login/tree/master/android works great for me. 💥

[pickhardt]

My understanding is that https://github.com/magus/react-native-facebook-login is just for the login functionality, whereas this repo aims to be the RN way to interact with the FB APIs. For example, this repo should be able to do sharing messages, app invites, etc. I actually tried the other repo out a few months ago, before it had Android support, and it's alright for what it does (login), but it's not really the same. Login is probably the most important feature, but the other features are also important.

[niftylettuce]

You could have server side handle API events and send responses, but that
might be overkill

cc @frantic who might be working on this

[frantic]

We're on it folks, have some internal prototypes and will be pushing them to OSS soon

[MossP]

Thanks @obishop, @frantic. We all look forward to it 👍

[kanerogers]

Great to hear, @frantic. ❤️

[9mm]

That's awesome! Do you have a super rough ETA? I'm trying to determine if I should hold off implementing it or go with a short term solution

[dzhuowen]

We plan to release it before F8 this year :-).

For those wondering when F8 is, I looked it up and F8 is April 12. My guess is it's a quarterly goal to release it by the end of Q1 (March), so that it's released in time for April 12.

Hi all, we know that everyone wants Android support, and please know that we're working on it, but I'm locking the conversation for now.

[dzhuowen]

Hey everyone, thanks for your attention to the repro. The Android support is up for grab in release-0.1.0-alpha branch now. Advices and comments are welcome :-D !
