[HELP] Facebook: Update your apps to the latest Facebook SDK

[mohammad-goldast]

🐛 Bug Report

I installed the latest version of this package yesterday for the first time. After all configurations, I saw some new event logs in the Facebook dashboard, and everything seemed Ok.

After a few minutes, the Facebook dashboard showed me an alert to "Update Your Facebook SDK.". I checked the alert, and it suggests adding the FB Pod Kits into the Podfile with the specific version of "8.0.0," and now, I am a little confused because IDK what I should do.

I checked the installed Pod versions by cat Podfile.lock | grep FBSDK. All installed versions were 15.0.0.
On the other hand, there is a higher version available, and it is "16.0.0".

Why Facebook suggests installing Pods version "8.0.0"?
What should I do to see if everything is right?

This is the alert in the "Overview" section of the Events Manager dashboard:

Update the Facebook SDK for iOS

The latest version of the Facebook SDK supports Apple’s SKAdNetwork API, which is required to deliver ads to people using iOS 14.5 or later devices. Learn more
We'll also prompt you to send the Advertiser Tracking Enabled flag with your app events. This will allow you to share user consent status and indicate whether you want us to treat an event as opted out from tracking.
We created this task to help you reduce the negative impacts of Apple's iOS 14 changes. Visit the Resource Center to learn more.

And, also here is more details of what Facebook suggests:

1. Update the Facebook SDK for iOS
   Follow the instructions to update using Cocoapods or SPM.
   Step 1: Update the Facebook SDK for iOS

Using Cocoapods
If your app integrates with the Facebook SDK for iOS using Cocoapods, follow these steps.

1. Add the code to the podfile for the packages that are used in your app.

Example:

pod 'FBSDKLoginKit', '> 8.0.0'

pod 'FBSDKGamingServiceKit', '> 8.0.0'
2. Run pod update.

Using Swift Package Manager (SPM)

1. In Xcode, click File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency.

2. In Package Repository, enter the repository URL: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.

3. In Version, select Up to Next Major and the default option.

4. Complete the prompts to select the libraries you want to use in your project.

Hi @mikehardy , Thank you for the response.
Unfortunately, I can not find an issue or a PR related to this problem. Could you give me a reference, please?
I searched in the issues section by these keywords:
Update facebook warning, The latest SDK version issue, Update to the latest SDK version and so on.

The only thread that I found is #55.
IDK, if I update the version of FBSD in react-native-fbsdk-next.podspec file manually, it works or not.
