MCKapur··on Facebook iOS SDK Remotely Crashing Spotify, TikTok, Pinterest, Winno and More
well, this would be extremely believable

the real question though is if the library is not even imported into the main app and just left hanging around, linked, would it still crash? i'd be curious to know

i'm by a longshot no facebook fan but... are you sure the SDK can actually siphon out what songs you listen or your location from the app it's sandboxed in (which, BTW, is in its own sandbox from an iOS system POV, and also has its own set of permissions)?

i mean, they offer FB sign in in the app, so the FB SDK is bundled with the app binary. looks like the mere presence of the library is causing crashes. someone on a related GH thread noted they commented out the code invoking the FB SDK but the issue remained.

it will probably take time to propagate (edit: though i didn't expect this much time, still crashing!)
