🐛 Bug Report

When upgrading react-native-fbsdk-next from v7.3.3 to v8+ our iOS and Android app crashes on start
The Metro server reports:

I solved it by adding facebookSdkVersion = "13.1.0" in my myproject/android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
       ...
       facebookSdkVersion = "13.1.0"
  }
 }

thanks @muja555 your solution works for Android
any idea what would be the fix for iOS?

Have you investigated the logs? This looks like a duplicate of #236 / failure to read release notes / did not add client access token. Can you confirm you have added a client access token as mentioned in release notes? Can you watch Xcode console or adb logcat to find the actual error messages?

Why ignore my question? Not a great way to access support 🤔 "I'm having a problem, please help, but I won't take action on the help provided" ?

Apologies, Had not read the last message & thanks this helped me resolve the issue.

Great! Glad that worked. I'm going to close this as a duplicate of that one then since it seems like the same problem, and I'll pin that issue so it is more discoverable
