Why load it unless it’s being actively used for authentication?

Well, how do you get consistent tracking then?

Obs: I'm being sarcastic but since it's either this or developer laziness, I'm betting on tracking since I always start from the principle that the developers analysed the situation and made an explicit choice.

Except, you know, when does a developer ever have a choice? You are asked to put the SDK in and you do it...

this, combined with a wrong past technical decision that we can not change it instantly. unfortunately it's not as easy to fix mobile bugs as it is on the web, as you have to both pass the approval process and wait for the full rollout to clients.

in our case, it's just a wrong decision, we don't use it for tracking.

also, if you use facebook login, the terms and conditions force you to use their SDK (which automatically initialises when included and does this crap).

"Native iOS and Android apps that implement Facebook Login must use our official SDKs for login. "
