None of the apps on my phone are crashing because of this. I also don't have a Facebook account, nor do I have the Facebook app installed. So it looks like there's an easy fix, delete your account, delete Facebook.

#123Given how protective Apple is about the experience of apps on the App Store and this happening the second time, I'm surprised they have not come up with a way to prevent this from happening. Also, a monolithic SDK should not exist in this day and age.
Indeed, and if the FB SDK (as used by the Spotify app among others) does in fact call home, it might violate Apple's TOS and give rise to rejecting those apps on the App Store. I'm not up to date with Apple's policies, but wasn't Apple specifically rejecting apps that seek to establish a platform within Apple's platform? Now if Apple are going to play hardball on this one is another question alltogether.
A quick solution on Apple's part could be to add an easy to use domain blocker as part of there tracking blockers for Safari. Could be buried in the safari settings pages, but with a toggle to apply at an OS level.

#124Waze, a google owned app for the past 4 years, crashes because of the FB app. WhatsApp, a Facebook owned app, will not give you read access to your own chat database - it’s encrypted. But they have an arrangement with Google where it’s will back up unencrypted to your Google account (though, Google won’t let you retrieve it ... only the WhatsApp app can) Everything about this duopoly, their cooperation and lack of co…
Yes, it's definitely time for some slightly enhanced armchair activism! Convert all active whatsapp contacts to signal? 80%? 50%? Same for Facebook messenger! It needs to be uncomfortable enough - if they want to communicate with us and are minimally tech savvy ("click link to install app") they have to switch to signal . That's it. I'm starting to send out messages over my morning coffee. Let's do this together: htt…
I've been converting people to signal for years, I've got everyone in my life to switch except for my parents and 2 coworkers.

#125Seems like it's just been fixed again. All apps are working.

#126I fucking hate that Spotify uses this.
Use Apple Music!

#128Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you sure? Seem to recall needing FB SDK to manage marketing pixels that provide detail on marketing campaign analytics. If you’re spending money on those platforms to drive traffic you’re going to want to optimize your spend and see performance. To do that I believe you need the FB sdk - are you saying there’s an alternative or are you saying “just don’t optimize performance”.
Can't you optimize ad performance by generating unique URLs for each campaign and then counting the number of clicks/installs per campaign on your own infrastructure?
“Can” is true but not the question at hand!
If Facebook, which charges money for advertising, let go of controlling that tracking relationship, they’d lose a lot of money. So they won’t.

Do you know which domains one would need to block?
facebook.com fbcdn.com fbcdn.net fbsbx.com fb.com instagram.com WhatsApp can work without these, but maybe a smaller subset would suffice. NextDNS[0] for iOS can be used for the blocking. [0] https://nextdns.io/
Excellent, I was looking for this, thank you! Spotify launched on my iPhone immediately after I added these domains to my NextDNS denylist.

#130Workaround for users: Enable airplane mode and disable WiFi, or block facebook domains Workaround for developers: Go to Facebook Developer page > Analytics and disable automatic Events.[0] Apparently this doesn't solve the issue for everyone. Issue in Facebook's tracker: https://developers.facebook.com/status/issues/17391881029111... [0] https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/issues/1427#iss...
Better workaround for everyone: Delete the Facebook SDK from your app and start caring about your users' privacy (and app stability).
