Problem building my app

[SpaceSimon]

Hello,

With version 10.1.0

I cannot build my app on Android (real device, tried in debug and realease). I followed the instructions:

• changed mavenLocal() to mavenCentral()
• changed implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,6)' to implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:latest.release'
• added <string name="facebook_client_token">myclienttoken</string> in strings.xml (I already had <string name="facebook_app_id">myappid</string>)
• added <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ClientToken" android:value="@string/facebook_client_token"/> in AndroidManifest.xml (I already had <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId" android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>)
• already had <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

I had the old fbsdk working fine back then, so I suppose my Facebook App is still valid and the keys are working.

Here is the error in the terminal when trying to build:

> Configure project :app
Reading env from: .env.staging

The only part that makes sense to me is compileSdkVersion is not specified, but of course it is defined.

Thanks for your help

OK I have found why and you are not going to like it.

Apparently react-native-config keeps failing after changing 'things' in your project, even if you clean everything. You have to restart your computer: lugg/react-native-config#355

I don't use react-native-config so I have no personal feelings on it, as maintainer here at react-native-fbsdk-next I have no professional opinion. This is a discussion entirely focused on a package that has no relation to this package and so is in the wrong spot I think?

I created a discussion instead of an issue because I thought my problem was related to react-native-fbsdk-next but not only (maybe a compatibility problem with another lib).

Then I found out it was solely due to react-native-config. You are right I should post this on react-native-config and delete this one.
