USAGE Copy Chapter

Facebook SDKs are broken up into separate modules as shown above. To ensure the most optimized use
of
space only install the modules that you intend to use. To get started, see the Installation section
below.

Any Facebook SDK initialization must occur only in the main process of the app. Use of Facebook SDK
in processes other than the main process is not supported and will likely cause problems.

INSTALLATION Copy Chapter

Facebook SDKs are published to Maven as independent modules. To utilize a feature listed above
include the appropriate dependency (or dependencies) listed below in your app/build.gradle file.
