Adobe Air + Facebook SDK integration part 8

Setting up the Air manifest .xml file for Android and iOS

For the Facebook SDK ANE to work properly in your Air mobile project, you need to setup the manifest correctly for Android and iOS and make sure it is correctly connected to the Facebook app you must have already created. if you don’t know how to create a Facebook app, you should first read this post.

below, I have copied the whole Air manifest for you which includes necessary settings for both Android and iOS. read comments inline to know more about the settings
