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).

https://developers.facebook.com/policy/ - 8.2

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

Just to clarify, when I say "the developer" I don't necessarily mean the person writing the code: I mean the organisation developing the software, so they definitely have the choice.

In terms of the person writing the code, they can certainly push back. Being asked to add the Facebook SDK is either a red flag enough for him/her to do so, or they don't mind. In either case, they've made that choice.

True, you're just facilitating, not profiting.

Such a clear and obvious good reason to drop support and walk away.
