No response

There are workarounds on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31610368/project-error-with-fbsdkcorekit but prefer not to use a workaround.

[ricsantos]

Looks like same issue as #2169

[ricsantos]

Reading the integration instructions https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started it no longer mentions CocoaPods, maybe that install method is not longer supported.

Installing Facebook SDK 16.0.0 via Swift Packages worked for me.

[alvincrisuy]

I also encounter this today.

Installing Facebook SDK 16.0.0 via Swift Packages worked for me.

@ricsantos I only installed it via Swift Packages and the error is still there

[topclaudy]

@ricsantos What did you specify for "Up to Next Major" in the Swift Packages installation dialog?

[ricsantos]

I used 16.0.0. I actually ended up rolling back to 14.1.0 via CocoaPods because although the project would build, it wouldn't archive 😭.

[topclaudy]

@ricsantos Thanks for the tip. I'll try 14.1.0 when I have a moment.

[ricsantos]

Hey @KylinChang just wondering if you are able to give any feedback on this?

[mspaansen]

@dastochsuper

[ricsantos]

I've recently updated to 16.1.0 and it seems ok, so can probably close this ticket (seeing as nothing doing anyway...) cc @KylinChang
