Facebook Android SDK 5.4.0 causing ANRs after update

Question

After updating the Facebook SDK version from 4.40.0 to 5.4.0, my app is getting a ton of ANRs. 12k ANRs in one day, the users couldn't even open the app.

I downgraded to version 4.40.0 and the issue has been resolved, but Facebook is constantly sending me alerts to update the SDK, how to solve? I lost thousands of users and several negative reviews.

Please add full stacktrace and attach the code which causes the issue. — Ernest Zamelczyk, Aug 26 '19 at 12:44
I updated with the full stack trace. There is no project code reference, it simply froze to open. I just use Facebook SDK to login with Facebook using Firebase integration, but automatically it starts collecting data from Facebook Analytics, I suspect the problem has something to do with it. — Henrique Monte, Aug 26 '19 at 19:35
If it is default facebook analytics/logging, you can turn it off.. refer.. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39994292/how-to-opt-out-from-facebook-sdk-event-logging — TheAnkush, Aug 29 '19 at 03:18
Which components of the SDK do you need (Login, Sharing, Core...)? Please attach to the question the code of where you use any API from Facebook SDK and as well how you wrote the dependency in gradle. — denis_lor, Aug 30 '19 at 08:44
It's also reported in Facebook issue tracker: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/1398287143658627/ maybe consider sharing it there and upvoting. — Yakuza, Aug 30 '19 at 11:07
@Henrique Monte do you have in your gradle, dependency that has version with sign "+" in it for example: implementation 'org.springframework:spring-w:5.+' ? — peco, Aug 30 '19 at 17:02
@denis_lor I followed the Firebase implementation guide, and they say to use lib "core" ('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:5.4.0'). But I just need to login via Facebook. — Henrique Monte, Aug 30 '19 at 18:46

We had a terrible week here too. The largest amount of reports in our app's history. And users who are still in the old version and don't upgrade continue to generate tons of errors. – Henrique Monte Sep 02 '19 at 19:55
