after updating corona sdk from 2014.2393 to 2014.2511 app displays an error () when the scene with facebook implementation loads. everything worked fine until i rebuilt it with latest corona sdk. just want someone to tell me what they changed so i can fix this quickly please, thank you!
Hi @kbrockertii,
Facebook is now a plugin, so you need to “require()” it slightly differently than before, and include the plugin in your “build.settings” file. Otherwise, functionality should be the same. Here is the updated documentation:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/facebook/index.html
Take care,
Brent
ok i see the difference. took me a minute to notice the “plugin.” part. i also refer to this page a lot and it should be updated.
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/social/implementFacebook/index.html
it still shows the require line without “plugin.”
i feel like im still overlooking something. now i get the same error but instead of facebook.lu missing its plugin.facebook.lu
would using JDK 8 have anything to do with it? i realised that i also updated my JRE and the JDK to java 8 recently
EDIT: i tried reverting jdk it did nothing
I still need help. I’m trying to release the game before Christmas and it was working flawlessly before I updated corona
Hi @kbrockertii,
Please use JDK 6 as instructed in the docs, and make sure that you completely reverted and un-installed all traces of JDK 8.
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/androidBuild/index.html
As for your Facebook issue, can I see your entire “build.settings” file content? And also the code where you require() the plugin? Please surround everything with “lua” tags so we can read it more clearly.
[lua] ... [/lua]
Thanks,
Brent
already made sure there were no traces of JDK 8. I’ve been using JDK 7 since before i installed and started using Corona SDK so i doubt that has anything to do with it.

i left some code out hopefully u dont need any of it
EDIT: i turned my ids into Xs
EDIT; i should mention i tried leaving out line 12 on build.settings
Hi @kbrockertii,
You’re testing this on Android, but you’ve told the plugin to restrict itself to iOS by specifying the “supportedPlatforms” table. That is the reason it can’t load the plugin.
Brent
as i said before, it worked before the update and i tried removing that line and it doesn’t help. the documentation told me those lines had to be there or i wouldn’t even have them.
im going to try and remove line 12 again maybe i forgot to save.
[lua]
supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, [“iphone-sim”]=true },
[/lua]
and install only java 6 sdk. BTW thanks for your help!
EDIT: i see now i hadnt commited the changes, explaining why the line was still there in the version i submitted.
If you want to run on Android, then you need to remove the supportedPlatforms line.
However the 2nd error is line 4 of your main.lua. it should be:
local facebook = require( “facebook” )
Rob
same deal plugin.facebook not found. should i tell to to explicitly support android rather than removing the line?
well thats what i had in the beginning. i changed it according to this page… http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/53240-20142511-broke-facebook-implementation/?p=276689
ok wow just opened my working copy of build.settings and my 2nd edit didn’t take effect so im building it again…
removing the line supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, [“iphone-sim”]=true }, for the third time…
Don’t forget that our Sample Apps are great examples of how to do things.
Rob
ok u guys were both sending me the right information but this page had me change the require line to “plugin.facebook”.
whats strange is i noticed a long time ago that the line “supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, [“iphone-sim”]=true }” hadn’t made any sense but this page had me add it to support iOS and it worked on android just fine…
anyway thank you both the problem was resolved. all i had to do in the beginning was remove that line from build.settings
Hi @kbrockertii,
Yes, sorry about that, I’m correcting that citation, and also the guide right now. Changes should go into effect soon.
Brent
:’( the iOS build just crashes now and there’s no error. id wager there’s another plugin i need to implement differently. game network probably?
