Documentation

Here are the following official documentation and guides into setting up your Facebook application in the Meta for Developers.


Facebook Developer


There are some few steps required by Meta to properly integrate the Meta (Facebook) Android SDK and Meta (Facebook) iOS SDK.


Android


  • If built for Android, you need to input your application's hash code into your application's configuration from the Meta Developer Console's Facebook application dashboard.

  • For instructions in how to do this, please click the link to visit Meta's official documentation.

  • [Tip]: If you export your application into a debug .apk or release .apk, your application will show an error that its hash code is invalid and unregistered in the Facebook application dashboard in the Meta Developer Console. You can copy the hash code shown in the error with the format similar to the image above, and paste it into the Meta Developer Console, similar to the image above and documentation.
