Facebook Plugin Installation failed

Ionic Framework
1

I cannot install the Facebook plugin. what am i doing wrong.

  1. First i did this:
    D:\apps\vgs>ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook-connect --variable APP_ID=“123456” --variable APP_NAME=“xyz-app”
    [ERROR] Refusing to run ionic cordova plugin inside a Capacitor project.

     In Capacitor projects, Cordova plugins are just regular npm dependencies.

 - To add a plugin, use npm i cordova-plugin-facebook-connect
 - To remove, use npm uninstall cordova-plugin-facebook-connect

  2. Second i did this:
    D:\apps\vgs>npm i cordova cordova-plugin-facebook-connect --variable APP_ID=“123456” --variable APP_NAME=“xyz-app”

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME
npm ERR! Invalid tag name “APP_ID=123456”: Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

I use Ionic 5 with Capacitor

Is the Facebook SKD only available for Cordova? How can I implement Facebook SDK with Capacitor 2? I want to use it for App Tracking. Not just for login.

So … i have since found the solution myself. You can see it here:

Try installing plugin without variable app_id and app_name and then add your Facebook app_id and app name in this file manually :

android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

[APP_ID] fb[APP_ID]
