Problem

While integrating Android SDK for a react-native project, I had finished the Android with React Native v0.30+ Project Configuration guide, and ran react-native run-android and then got this screen:

I learned that FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize is deprecated. see here

After some searching, I realized that the guide did not contain the steps to add the Facebook App ID for my app.

Solution

1. Open android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file and look in the tag to confirm that this meta-data tag exists:

2. Open android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml file and confirm that this there is a "facebook_app_id" string tag with your app id as the value:

   YOUR_APP_ID_HERE
   

3. Run react-native run-android.

These are the steps that worked for me.
