Use the Facebook Connect plugin to obtain access to the native FB application on iOS and Android.
Requires Cordova plugin: cordova-plugin-facebook-connect
. For more info, please see the Facebook Connect.
Installation
To use the FB plugin, you first have to create a new Facebook App inside of the Facebook developer portal at https://developers.facebook.com/apps.
Retrieve the App ID
and App Name
.
Then type in the following command in your Terminal, where APP_ID and APP_NAME are the values from the Facebook Developer portal.
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook-connect --variable APP_ID="123456789" --variable APP_NAME="myApplication"
After, you'll need to add the native platforms you'll be using to your app in the Facebook Developer portal under your app's Settings:
Click 'Add Platform'
.
At this point you'll need to open your project's config.xml
file, found in the root directory of your project.
Take note of the id
for the next step:
<widget id="com.mycompany.testapp" version="0.0.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
You can also edit the id
to whatever you'd like it to be.
