How to install facebook sdk for iOS using cocoapods?

Question

In the facebook's documentation: Here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/getting-started

It's written that we could use:

pod \'Facebook-iOS-SDK\'

For installing pods in our project. But I added it in the pod file at line 10 and try to run pod install, it shows following error on terminal:

[!] Oh no, an error occurred.

It appears to have originated from your Podfile at line 10.

Answer 1

Changing the pod link to

pod "Facebook-iOS-SDK"

solved it why do they put \' in documentation is the question now?

EDIT: This answer is now outdated. The correct way to install facebook Pod is as @aramusss described above.

Answer 2

Facebook-iOS-SDK has been deprecated (see the message cocoapods give you when you use pod install).

According to Facebook You should use:

pod "FBSDKCoreKit";
pod "FBSDKLoginKit";
pod "FBSDKShareKit";
pod "FBSDKMessengerShareKit";
