I have the same question.

Although FacebookSdk.setGraphAPIVersion() can change graph api version but it seems to be provided for development and debugging purpose.

fun setGraphApiVersion(graphApiVersion: String) {
if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
Log.w(TAG, "WARNING: Calling setGraphApiVersion from non-DEBUG code.")
}
if (!Utility.isNullOrEmpty(graphApiVersion) && FacebookSdk.graphApiVersion != graphApiVersion) {
FacebookSdk.graphApiVersion = graphApiVersion
}
}

FYI, I noticed this in the CHANGELOG:

To use the latest Graph API version, please specific that version in your GraphRequest call.

I’m not using the Graph API directly, I only use modules from react-native-fbsdk-next (which pulls in facebook-android-sdk:17.0.0). Despite that, the SDK still makes background calls to v16.0, which are failing intermittently (e.g., -1005, network connection lost) especially under flaky network conditions. Now that this version is officially deprecated, can we update this SDK to use the latest version of the graph API?

yes, there is some background call when the Android Application is constructed

Hi there 👋 - react-native-fbsdk-next maintainer here - @rageandqq @maxalbrightmeta you appear to have committed here most recently - any chance of bumping the default version of the graph API to a non-deprecated one? facebook-ios-sdk appears to have settled on v17 currently (though v18 v24 is current). v16 seems like a poor choice of default as it's deprecated and sunsetting in a few days.

Thanks
