What exactly issue it was?

@sven or @britzl knows better than me

Well, the issue was that if you set targetSdkVersion to 26 in your Android manifest then push notifications didn’t work. There was a change in the NotificationBuilder, requiring a notification channel as an extra argument on SDK version 26+.

Do you mean 4.7.0 - October 7, 2015 ? (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/change-log-4x)

I’m not sure why we chose that particular version, but I believe we want the lowest supported version for the devices. Perhaps @Johan_Beck-Noren knows more?

Facebook will automatically update Graph API calls which means that even though an SDK might be old and use an old Graph API version it should in a majority of cases still work. How do you use the Facebook SDK in your specific case? For login only or more?
