I ran into this issue the fix was to add some attributes to a couple of the nodes in the AndroidManifest.xml file (platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml):

  • Add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" to the <manifest> node
  • Add tools:replace="android:theme" to the <activity> node (the one with android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity")

You might also need to shuffle around the <activity> nodes.

Good luck!
