🐛 Bug Report

Build with react-native-fbsdk 1.1.2 fails with

ERROR: Failed to resolve: androidsdk.modules:shield:unspecified
Affected Modules: react-native-fbsdk

Build was fine, I made no changes, then I did a ./gradlew clean, reinstalled node_modules, and tried to rebuild the project. Perhaps a bad artifact got pushed for a dependency somewhere causing this sudden build failure?

To Reproduce

Build project with react-native-fbsdk 1.1.2

facebook/facebook-android-sdk#673

Same on the main Android SDK appaently

As @lucidtheory mentionned it's a bug with fbsdk@5.15.2. You can go around this by fixing its version in your android/build.gradle file. At the same place as all the other variables in the begining, you can put:

facebookSdkVersion = "5.15.1"

Tried @dawee solution but still not working

[lucidtheory]

Make sure the spelling is exactly facebookSdkVersion capitalization matching as well

I tried @dawee's solution too, but it's not working either in my android/build.gradle file.

buildscript {
    ext {
        ... other dependencies
        facebookSdkVersion = "5.15.1"
    }

Is this the correct place to add it in?

thanks

[danhernandez]

i solved my issue by forcing the version in my app/build.gradle.

I changed:

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,6)'

to

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,5.11.1)'

as a temporary workaround, if it helps anyone else.

[Jheysoon]

solved this issue by editing the node_modules/react-native-fbsdk/android/build.gradle

from:

def FACEBOOK_SDK_VERSION = safeExtGet('facebookSdkVersion', '[5.0,6.0[')

to
def FACEBOOK_SDK_VERSION = safeExtGet('facebookSdkVersion', '[5,5.11.1)')
