# Introduction

> Learn about the React Native FBSDK Next SDK and how it enables Facebook integration in your React Native apps

## What is React Native FBSDK Next?

React Native FBSDK Next is a community-maintained wrapper around the iOS Facebook SDK and Android Facebook SDK, enabling seamless Facebook integration in [React Native](https://reactnative.dev/) applications. This project continues the work of the original [React Native FBSDK](https://github.com/facebook/react-native-fbsdk) after Facebook discontinued its official support.

The SDK provides access to native Facebook components through well-documented JavaScript modules, allowing you to implement Facebook features without writing any native code directly.

## Version Compatibility

The SDK maintains compatibility with modern React Native versions:

| Facebook SDK | Library Version | Required React Native |

| >= 9.3.0+    | `> 4.3.0`       | `>= 0.63.3`\*         |
| >= 9.0.0+    | `>= 3.0.1`      | `>= 0.60`             |

<Warning>
  Versions after 4.2.0 only support React Native 0.63.3 and above, as this is the oldest version compatible with the latest Xcode. While older versions may technically work, they are not officially supported.
