Facebook build problem

[serpri]

My project named “dar” had no problems in building till yesterday.
It stopped to build about now.
Then I’ve created new empty project “dar2”, then importing step-by-step all additional packages I use in main “dar” project. Every build was successful till I’ve add sdkbox import facebook
The build error from console:

It stopped building just after facebook package was added.
The code is just empty project.
Any hint? Thank you.

Now I’ve checked my project two-days-old version: it successfully shares the screenshot via Facebook.

Changing in build.gradle version of used facebook sdk:
dependencies { compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:5.12.0' }

4.34.0 - builds ok;
4.41.0 - builds ok;
5.12.0 - builds ok;
5.15.1 - builds ok;
5.15.2 - build fails;

https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md says:

[5.15.2] - 2020-02-03
### Fixed
* Attempts to fix #665

“Houston we have a problem” ©
A small problem.

Also I don’t see facebook-places-5.15.2.aar in my ...\gradle\caches\...

Let’s ask @yinjimmy

This problem disappeared without fix: I’ve try to build the project with
dependencies { compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,6)' }
– builds successful without errors… But it does not use “5.15.2” libs/jars - mainly 5.15.1.
The reason:

Facebook SDK sdk-version-5.15.3
facebook-sdk-bot released this 15 hours ago

Seems Facebook has rolled-back libs by hotfix. Solved, fixed.
No need to disturb yinjimmy

[yinjimmy]

It seems A mistake of FB. It’s great you solved it.

I want to code, I want to create games!
Instead of that I have to waste a lot of time trying to make it work.
This is why I hate new lib versions.
This is why I use
com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0 , but not the last
com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.1.0 – it’s not working for me.
