Update Facebook SDK for iOS 14
complete
Kevin S
The live Facebook SDK is currently v9.0. Expo is currently using v5.8.0.
To comply with privacy features in iOS 14, Facebook will be requiring new ad campaigns tied to iOS apps to use SDK v8.2 minimum.
Can the Expo Facebook SDK be updated to v8.2 or v9 so as to comply with Facebook/iOS 14 requirements?

This is complete and available in the bare workflow now. If you're using the managed workflow, you'll have to wait for SDK 41 to be released- the beta will be available soon so stay tuned!

Also aren't they completely moving to bidding on iOS by the end of Match, ... making it useable for majority of the people. I think by the time the update the SDK, it will be too late

There's currently a PR open for this (from an open source contributor 😁)- https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/11705

Charlie Cruzan: Fantastic! Is it still on track for SDK 41 in April? Even though the iOS changes aren’t live yet, the scary warnings on Facebook have thoroughly freaked out my clients, and they’re hounding me about this. Being able to give them a timeline for availability would be nice.

Kevin S: Since it's an external PR, plus a BIG upgrade, we want to test this thoroughly and make sure it brings nothing but good news, so I can't guarantee it'll land for SDK 41. that being said, we'll do our best because you definitely aren't the first person to be getting hounded about this

Charlie Cruzan: is this out? I'm currently using expo SDK 41 but my analyst is saying I'm using an outdated version of the FB SDK
