Facebook extension crashes on Android

Questions
#1

Hello,

I’ve been trying to get the Facebook extension to work on Android, but it crashes on the login function. I’m bundling the build in a Windows machine. In iOS, it seems to be working well.

I’ve followed this manual: https://www.defold.com/manuals/facebook/ to set it up.
I’ve got my key hash in, and for Class Name, I’ve put “com.dynamo.android.DefoldActivity”.
In the editor side of things, I just added the App Id into the Facebook section of game.project.

I also tested this on a clean project, and it’s crashing too. No logcat information about the crash.

This is the code I’m using:

local permissions = { "publish_to_groups" }
facebook.login_with_publish_permissions(permissions, facebook.AUDIENCE_EVERYONE, function(self, data)
		if (data.status == facebook.STATE_OPEN and data.error == nil) then
				print("Successfully logged into Facebook")
			else
				print("Failed to get permissions (" .. data.status .. ")")
			end
		end)

Did I set things up wrong? Am I missing something?

Thank you

What error message do you get?
What extension version are you using?

#3

I’m not getting any error messages. It just crashes.
And I’m using the latest one from the github (master).

#4

I don’t know if this helps, but instead of using the login function, I tried using the show_dialog function.
It still crashed, but before it did, it told me I was not logged in.

At the moment now the recommended stable version is 1.4:

https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/archive/v1.4.zip

#6

Ok, and if you get the log from the Android device, what does it say?
E.g. using adb logcat

#7

Using the 1.4 version still crashes!

This is the log:

That did the trick! The extension is working properly and does not crash on 1.2.156.

Thank you all again!
