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be no replacement that works with the classic build service (expo build) because the classic build service has been superseded by EAS Build.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.

Expo universal module for Facebook SDK

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

expo install expo-facebook

Configure for iOS

Run npx pod-install after installing the npm package.

Add NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key to your Info.plist:

<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
<string>This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.</string>

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.

Configure for Android

No additional set up necessary.

In AndroidManifest.xml, add the following element within your <application> element:

...
      <!-- The Facebook SDK runs FacebookInitProvider on startup and crashes if there isn't an ID here -->
    <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="fb0"/>
  </application>
