<key>FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled</key>
<false/>

Verification Steps

2. Test Build: Build and run app to ensure configuration applied
3. Monitor Events: Verify Facebook SDK not sending events using Facebook Analytics dashboard

Configuration Method

Follow Facebook's official instructions under "Disable Automatically Logged Events" in Getting Started with App Events for Android.

AndroidManifest.xml Configuration

Add following metadata to your AndroidManifest.xml file within <application> tag:

<application>
    ...
    <meta-data 
        android:name="com.facebook.sdk.AutoLogAppEventsEnabled"
        android:value="false" />
    ...
</application>

Alternative: Programmatic Configuration

Alternatively, disable automatic logging programmatically in your Application class:

import com.facebook.FacebookSdk;
import com.facebook.appevents.AppEventsLogger;

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        
        // Disable automatic event logging
        FacebookSdk.setAutoLogAppEventsEnabled(false);
    }
}

import com.facebook.FacebookSdk
import com.facebook.appevents.AppEventsLogger

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        
        // Disable automatic event logging
        FacebookSdk.setAutoLogAppEventsEnabled(false)
    }
}

Verification Steps

1. Check AndroidManifest: Verify metadata added correctly with value set to false
2. Build Application: Clean and rebuild app to ensure configuration applied
3. Monitor Events: Verify Facebook SDK not sending events using Facebook Analytics dashboard

Singular SDK Validation

1. Testing Console: Use Singular Testing Console to verify events tracked correctly
2. Event Logs: Check Singular Export Logs to confirm events recorded
3. Attribution Verification: Verify Facebook installs attributed correctly in Singular reports

Facebook Platform Validation

1. Events Manager: Open Facebook Events Manager and verify events appearing from Singular
2. Event Count Comparison: Compare event counts between Singular and Facebook to ensure no duplication
3. Session Tracking: Verify session counts match expected values without inflation

Data Accuracy Checks

Symptoms

• Event counts in Facebook double expected values
• Same event appears multiple times with identical timestamps
• Facebook campaign optimization affected by inflated metrics

Cause

Facebook SDK automatic event logging not disabled, causing both Facebook SDK and Singular SDK to send same events to Facebook platform.

Solution

1. Verify FacebookAutoLogAppEventsEnabled set to false in iOS Info.plist
2. Verify com.facebook.sdk.AutoLogAppEventsEnabled set to false in Android AndroidManifest.xml
3. Clean and rebuild app to ensure configuration applied
4. Monitor Facebook Events Manager for 24 hours to confirm issue resolved

Symptoms

• Facebook installs not appearing in Singular reports
• Installs attributed to Organic instead of Facebook campaigns
• Campaign data missing in Singular analytics

Cause

Facebook not configured as attribution partner in Singular platform or Facebook App ID missing/incorrect.

Solution

1. Navigate to Singular → Attribution → Partner Configuration and search for Facebook
2. Verify Facebook App ID entered correctly
3. Confirm Facebook integration enabled and active
4. Check attribution window settings match campaign requirements
5. Review Facebook Ads Attribution Integration guide for complete setup

Symptoms

• Facebook Login fails or returns errors
• Facebook Share button not functioning
• Facebook SDK features unavailable in app

Cause

Facebook SDK not properly initialized or configured despite automatic event logging being disabled.

Solution

1. Verify Facebook SDK initialized correctly in app (disabling automatic logging does not affect SDK initialization)
2. Check Facebook App ID and configuration in app settings
3. Review Facebook SDK documentation for specific feature requirements
4. Test Facebook features independently to isolate integration issues
