Available since: Gideros 2018.3

Description

Facebook Instant Games Initialisation and Core.

It is very important that only the following API calls are made before startGameAsync has resolved:

• FBInstant.getSDKVersion()
  
• FBInstant.initializeAsync()
  
• FBInstant.getPlatform()
  
• FBInstant.setLoadingProgress()
  
• FBInstant.getSupportedAPIs()
  
• FBInstant.quit()
  
• FBInstant.onPause()
  
• FBInstant.player.getID()
  

To help do this you could create a variable called FBInstantAPI and set it to true once startGameAsync has been resolved - then only call other API commands if FBInstant is true and then if FBInstantAPI is true.

Examples

Initialisation and removal of the Facebook loading progress indicator.

 
pcall(function() FBInstant=require "FBInstant" end)
if FBInstant then
	FBInstant.startGameAsync(function() 
		print("Loading screen removed")
		FBInstantAPI=true
	end)
else
	print("FBInstant not loaded")
end
