meta data in AndroidManifest file

 <meta-data android:name="com.facebook.sdk.ApplicationId"
            android:value="@string/facebook_app_id"/>

I tried to add the old/previous version of facebook SDK but this also didn't work

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5

proguard Facebook rules

# Facebook
-keep class com.facebook.** {*;}
-dontwarn com.facebook.**

Answer 1

Update: Changing SDK version to 4.39.0 is the fix.

Does your app have internet permission?

Also try 4.39.0 as FB SDK version

Don't forget to invalidateCache and restart.
