This is related to the iOS 11.x update, Facebook SDK 0.3.0 is using SFAuthenticationSession which result in an Alert to give explicit consent, allowing the application to access the website's data in Safari.

Tried this on iOS 10.x, no Alert!

If you want to get rid of the popup, you should downgrade the Facebook SDK to 0.2.0 , and since the Facebook swift SDK still depends on the Objective C SDK you should force downgrading these ones as well to the version 4.22.1

Before Downgrade:

pod 'FacebookCore', '~> 0.3.0'
pod 'FacebookLogin', '~> 0.3.0'
pod 'FacebookShare', '~> 0.3.0'

After Downgrade:

pod 'FacebookCore', '~> 0.2.0'
pod 'FacebookLogin', '~> 0.2.0'
pod 'FacebookShare', '~> 0.2.0'
pod 'FBSDKCoreKit', '~> 4.22.1'
pod 'FBSDKLoginKit', '~> 4.22.1'
pod 'FBSDKShareKit', '~> 4.22.1'
