“ Earlier today, a code change triggered crashes for some iOS apps using the Facebook SDK. We identified the issue quickly and resolved it. We apologize for any inconvenience.” (1)
At the scale of Spotify and other massive blue chip apps, this bug could have very well cost companies hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in damages. This apology on the bug tracker seems so insincere. With this type of issue occurring twice in a couple months, I’ll be ensuring that no clients of mine ever install or rely on Facebook services within their mobile apps. Facebook has a responsibility to developers to ensure that their SDKs and integrated components are stable, and they have failed.
