I have FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getApplicationContext()) where sdkInitialize() is displayed as deprecated. According to this article we can just delete that line. But then I get following error for the line after AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this) :
AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.daimler.moovel.android:auth, PID: 4011 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.daimler.moovel.android.DebugApplication: The Facebook sdk must be initialized before calling activateApp at android.app.ActivityThread.handleBindApplication(ActivityThread.java:5879) at android.app.ActivityThread.-wrap3(ActivityThread.java)

So what am I missing?
That is because you upgraded your Facebook SDK and you are trying to use implemention of AppEventsLogger providinig this as Context:
AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
and that is replaced from SDK 4.19 and above with:
AppEventsLogger.activateApp(getApplication());
Documentation about this says:
Notifies the events system that the app has launched and activate and deactivate events should start being logged automatically. This should be called from the OnCreate method of you application.
That have logic if Facebook SDK now is auto initialized on Application start.
Try that I hope this will solve your problem.
