App switches automatically to limited login when updated to v13

[beliven-davide-lorigliola]

I'm using react-native-fbsdk-sdk for facebook login in my application.
I've update react-native-fbsdk-sdk : ^13.0.0

Now my Facebook SSO login opens by default to limited.facebook.com domain.

Here's my code:

import {LoginManager, AccessToken} from 'react-native-fbsdk-next';
import auth from '@react-native-firebase/auth';
import {showErrorIfAllowed} from './functions';

export async function onFacebookButtonPress(onError) {
  try {
    // Attempt login with permissions
    const result = await LoginManager.logInWithPermissions([
      'public_profile',
      'email',
    ]);

    if (result.isCancelled) {
      throw {
        code: '-5',
        name: 'Error',
        message: 'User cancelled the login process',
      };
    }

    // Once signed in, get the users AccesToken
    const data = await AccessToken.getCurrentAccessToken();

    if (!data) {
      throw {
        code: '0',
        name: 'Error',
        message: 'Something went wrong obtaining access token',
      };
    }

    // Create a Firebase credential with the AccessToken
    const facebookCredential = auth.FacebookAuthProvider.credential(
      data.accessToken,
    );

    // Sign-in the user with the credential
    return auth().signInWithCredential(facebookCredential);
  } catch (e) {
    showErrorIfAllowed(e, onError);
  }
}

this is an upstream change with version 17 of the Facebook iOS SDK: facebook/facebook-ios-sdk#2375 and it sounds like it is a deliberate behavior change by Facebook, if you do not have tracking permissions you automatically get opted into limited login.
So you have a few options:

• downgrade (harder with privacy manifest requirements)
• get tracking permissions to use classic login
• support limited login
• ask for a change on the iOS sdk on the above issue

either way I don't think there is anything that can be done on this library.

question: how do i get 'get tracking permissions to use classic login' this permission ?

I do have the same question. So, if anyone has any information about this, would be very good if you share it :D

@gustavos00 @Daniel3711997 you can use https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-permissions

Check PERMISSIONS.IOS.APP_TRACKING_TRANSPARENCY

Asking for the APP_TRACKING_TRANSPARENCY actually works. Thanks a lot.
