Like to know why is this needed

[jzhan-canva]

If I put mavenCentral in the package's build.gradle, it won't find the facebook-android-sdk:9. I had to put it in rout project level

[rnike]

Tanks for the explanation.

Just take a look to the README.md, this might be missing for a long time.

Thank you for signing our Contributor License Agreement. We can now accept your code for this (and any) Facebook open source project. Thanks!

[therealchiko]

thanks for all the incredible work with regards to fb sdk 9.0 @zhantx. Does anyone know when this will get merged and the next release published?

[Fl0p]

Waiting for merge...

[rnike]

Please take a full review of the conversations in #832, it seems like it will never be merged because Facebook is not going to maintain this package anymore.

For anyone who is waiting for this to be merged, I would recommend just fork or use patch-package.

Or you can just add it from our forked repo, our repo include commits from this PR. (Thanks @zhantx)

To install:
yarn add VeryBuy/react-native-fbsdk#release/3.0.1

There are also two changes we have done:

• Warp the initialize function for react-native feature: implement initialize sdk #841: We need it to initialize the sdk, because iOS sdk auto initialize has been removed (see v9.0.0 Changelog)
• Upgrade facebook-ios-sdk to v9.0.1 (commit): For fixing the deadlock issue because of ios auto initialize has been removed , see v9.0.1 Changelog
