All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- Fixed AttributionIdentifiers ANR issue
- Fixed InstallReferrer ANR issue
- Instance variables in
MessengerThreadParams
andShareToMessengerParams
are now not directly accessible from Java due to conversion to Kotlin. Use the corresponding getters to access them in Java, i.e.params.getMetadata()
instead ofparams.metadata
. - Removed deprecated LoginBehavior.WEB_VIEW_ONLY setting.
- Fixed the issue with robolectric and other dependencies not being correctly specified as test implementation.
- Fixed the issue causing apps targeting Android 12 or higher to fail due to a component with an intent-filter not explicitly defining the attribute
android:exported
.
- We now use jacoco to gather code coverage on debug builds. If you are building from source instead of using releases from maven, you may run into an issue where debug builds crash on launch. The issue and solution are well-documented in jacoco/jacoco#968
- Migrated the gradle files (excluding
maven.gradle
and sample projects) from Groovy to Kotlin.

- The client token is now mandatory. SDK initialization will have a check on it and throw out an exception if the client token is not available.
- All classes from the deprecated Bolts library are moved to an independent
facebook-bolts
kit. Now all kits depend on it to keep the back-compatibility, but we will gradually remove the dependency.

allows to receive null value to clear the user ID.- Fixed the crashes if WebView is not available.

ShareOpenGraphAction
,ShareOpenGraphContent
,ShareOpenGraphValueContainer
