CoronaSDK daily build error for Facebook?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

If I use the public build (which is 2731), everything works fine.

Now download the latest daily build (which is 2777, I also tested with 2775), there will be following errors for facebook module:

Runtime error module 'facebook' not found: no field package.preload['facebook'] no file '/Users/joe/Library/Application Support/Corona/Simulator/Plugins/facebook.lua' no file '/Users/joe/Dropbox/APP development/FlagMan/source/FlagMan/facebook.lua' no file '/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/facebook.lua' no file '/Users/joe/Library/Application Support/Corona/Simulator/Plugins/facebook.dylib' no file './facebook.dylib' no file '/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/facebook.dylib'

Please note there is NO source code change.  Every project with Facebook module (require (“facebook”)) has the same error.

Nothing is changed at my side except switching back to 2731, the error is gone.

CoronaSDK please help to resolve this problem.

Urgent!

Hi joe528,

Starting with daily build 2747, we’ve removed the simulator stub for the old Facebook plugin from Corona SDK. This is to encourage developers to upgrade to the Facebook-v4 plugin.

If you do a device build of your project, it should still build successfully with the latest daily build.

As you’ve already done, if you need the old Facebook plugin stub for testing in the Corona Simulator, reverting to any daily build prior to 2747 is always an option.

Didn’t find the information in the release notes.

Thanks for the clarification.
