Legacy Installation Steps

The following document describes the installation steps for React Native versions prior to 0.60.x

Installation

yarn add react-native-facebook-account-kit

Linking

react-native link react-native-facebook-account-kit

Android manual steps

Check the RNAccountKitPackage is registered in your MainApplication.java file. This should be done by react-native link but sometimes it doesn't. You should see something like the following

@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
    return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new MainReactPackage(),
        new RNAccountKitPackage() // <-- the package is registered
    );
}

IOS manual steps using Cocoapods (Recomended)

1. Undo changes in ios folder (which were made by react-native-link) in order to avoid duplicate compilations

   git checkout -- ios
   

2. Add RNAccountKit Pod to your Podfile (if you don't have a podfile follow these instructions)

   target 'MyApp' do
     ...
   +  pod 'RNAccountKit', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-facebook-account-kit/ios'
     ...
   end

3. Run pod install in your ios folder

IOS manual steps without Cocoapods (Not recomended)

1. Open your project with XCode

2. Open with Finder the node_modules/react-native-facebook-account-kit/ios folder

3. Drag and drop AccountKit.framework and AccountKitStrings.bundle from Finder to your project in XCode (IMPORTANT: unselect the "Copy items if needed" option)

4. Select you app target on XCode and click the Build Settings tab. Go to the Framework Search Paths section and add this new entry

     $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-facebook-account-kit/ios

NOTE: We strongly recomend using cocoapods that's why on version 1.2.0 we removed the AccountKit.framework / AccountKitStrings.bundle files from the project. If you don't want to use cocoapods you can still download the framework and the bundle from here and add it to your project by yourself.
