Cannot find FBAndroid.apk as per Facebook Android SDK docs
I am trying to use, Facebook Android SDK (Xamarin Component) in Visual Studio 2017. The chosen emulator is,
I downloaded the SDK as per the Xamarin documents,
To take advantage of the native Facebook dialogs, the Facebook application must be installed on the device. If the Facebook application is not installed on the device, fallbacks to Web based dialogs can instead be used. If you are testing on an emulator which does not have the ability to install Facebook from the Play store, you can install FBAndroid.apk which is included in the SDK which can be downloaded from: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads
The problem is, I don't see any FBAndroid.apk inside the zipped SDK file.
The questions are,
- Is my understanding correct about the installation?
- If so, from where would I find the apk to install in my emulator?
Edit: Installing an APK is not my concern now, I am worried about this part.
install FBAndroid.apk which is included in the SDK
P.S: Edited the title to reflect the change.
That section of the Xamarin doc is outdated. The Facebook APK is has not been available as a separate download since the v3 version of the SDK (circa 2015).
If you look under the Facebook SDK for Android v3.x Downloads section of the SDK Downloads you will find old FBAndroid.apk versions available for separate download.
If your emulator does not have the Play Store installed (Genymotion?), install it via OpenGApps and then install Facebook from the PlayStore.
