To use the FB plugin, you first have to create a new Facebook App with your Facebook developer portal at https://developers.facebook.com/apps.

Retrieve the App ID and App Name

Then type in the following command in your Terminal, where APP_ID and APP_NAME are the values from the Facebook Developer portal .

You can replace APP_NAME and APP_ID in config.xml file.

Now you'll need to add the native platforms you'll be using to your app in the Facebook Developer portal under your app's Settings:

Click 'Add Platform'.

Now you need to open your project's config.xmlfile, found in the root directory of your project.

To integrate Native Google Plus Login you need to follow same as above but this time select Android platform and fill all the required Info . You need to create certificate signing request from the command provided there and add package name from Androidmanifest.xml files.

​Similarly if you want google plus login for IOS you can select that option and provide the required details like bundle Id and all.

Create Twitter App ID and setup of user Login

Go to https://fabric.io and create account or Login.

Navigate to https://fabric.io/kits/android/crashlytics/install and click on Add your API key on right side.

Copy your API key and replace API of Config.xml FABRIC_KEY .

Now you need to goto https://apps.twitter.com and create a new app you need to enter value in all the required fields.

Click on Key and access token tab.

Copy that API key and API Secret key to your XML file . These 2 information also needed in your Firebase twitter setup.

Please be patient if you are looking to integrate Native social Login to your app. It takes lots of time sometime if you are doing it First-time need to spent a day on this as well. Cordova based normal social login is very easy but in that user need to log in with there credential each time we open the app in App browser but In case of Native it access info from user install the app on the device. In the future if they make the process simpler, we will update our docs as well.

Once you setup native Module better Delete your old platform and install platform again so the new platform will sink with your new config.xml file where you added all the social key stuff.
