Goals

Since yesterday, we have been seeing a large number of crashes from FBSDKAEMManager in our app, which we last updated a few weeks ago. The crashes seem to happen immediately after the app is launched or returns to the foreground. Many users are only experiencing the crash one time, but some are getting it more than once. Strangely, the crash only seems to be happening in one of our apps, when we have several apps with a lot of shared code that use Facebook the same way. I'm wondering if this could be a Facebook server config issue like we've seen in the past causing crashes on launch. Here is the crash log:

I work on a big iOS app where we are getting the same issue in Firebase - Crashlytics: __24-[FBSDKAEMManager setup]_block_invoke.9 I will follow the conversation. I guess we need to wait for an update from the FBSDK team. No actions are required to prevent this in the application.

I checked and can confirm most clients who are getting this issue are with IOS device versions iOS 16 and higher. People with lower versions do not have this issue.
