I am trying to integrate Facebook pixel in my ecommerce flutter app to show ads according to customers search behavior but could not get any documentation or library for flutter. How can I integrate facbook pixel in Flutter app?
Facebook Pixel is strictly for webapps, but for native app development, Facebook SDK is required.
Flutter Facebook Login Package will provide you, not only the login but also the required SDK.
Next up, you probably want Facebook_App_Events Package, which is going to help you in sending tracked data to FB, for eg. when a person clicks to watch a video on your app or makes a purchase etc.
An app event is an action that takes place in your app or on your web page such as a person installing your app or completing a purchase. Facebook App Events allows you to track these events to view analytics, measure ad performance, and build audiences for ad targeting.

Background
I have an app that's available on the web, iOS and Android.
I’m using CapacitorJS, Angular and Firebase as main tech stack. By using Capacitor I have a single codebase for all 3 platforms.
How Capacitor works on iOS and Android is that it takes your web-projects dist-folder and wraps it in a native WebView. Sort of like how Ionic works. And this is what makes showing ads tricky.
Problem/Question
I would like to use one single ad provider across all 3 platforms. From my understanding AdSense is only to be used on websites while AdMob is used on mobile apps.
BUT, my whole app is web based, even the ios/android app is just the website shown in a webview. Doesn't this mean I could use AdSense even in my mobile apps, or are there any restrictions I'm unaware of?
How would you handle my scenario? What options do I have? I appreciate any suggestions or insights.

Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be:
Integrated into a software application (does not apply to AdMob) of any kind, including toolbars.
So to answer your question adsense cannot be used in any software application ( does not apply to Admob). So you can use it in native android and ios app.
Also refer to https://support.google.com/admob/answer/48182?hl=en ( Refer Technical requirements section ) You need to check what type of adsense ads you are using within the app.
WebView
AdSense for content (AFC) and Ad Exchange (AdX) display ads are not supported through all WebView technologies.
App developers wishing to monetize by publishing AFC and AdX display ads through a WebView must use one of the following supported viewing frames:
Android: Chrome Custom Tab
iOS: SFSafariViewController (iOS9 and iOS10 only)
Google AdMob and AdX in-app ads may be shown in an app next to a WebView so long as the Google Mobile Ads SDK is in use and the publisher is compliant with all other AdSense program policies.
Using a third party website within your android app also requires permission from website owner. So you might be asked to present the proof of ownership or your app might be removed from play store. Refer to admob policy for using website within your app.
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/2753860#Exceptions_AdSense&zippy=%2Cview-exceptions%2Cview-ad-placement-policies
Displaying a third party site in your app
When an app displays someone else's site within a frame, this is considered framing content. Publishers are not permitted to frame third party content and monetize it without permission from the owners of that content.
If a publisher owns the content, it can be framed in their app and monetized. However, if the framed content is already being monetized by Google Ads, the framed content should not contain any additional code for AdSense or AdMob inside the version on the mobile app.
Apple is strict on approving apps which are mimicking a website so chances of rejecting on apple are high ( not related to advertisement ) https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#design
4.2 Minimum Functionality
Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value, it may not be accepted. Apps that are simply a song or movie should be submitted to the iTunes Store. Apps that are simply a book or game guide should be submitted to the Apple Books Store.
Displaying ads within webview doesn't give native experience to end user. So technically you are not violating any rules ( as long admob other policies are followed ). Its recommended to implement native Ads for rich UI experience
I'm working on building an IOS/android app and I'm wondering how i can use Facebook Analytics for apps.
There is no social login for the app, but i would like to use in-app events to retarget users of the app as they browse facebook owned platforms, even though they have not used facebook to sign in etc on the IOS/Android app.
Can this be done by implementing the Facebook analytics SDK?
I appreciate that i'm not a developer, so this question may yet prove to be totally misinformed.
Thanks
Facebook Analytics doesn't acquire Facebook login. See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/analytics/faqs/#faq_529032737286063
You can send app events with Facebook Analytics that you can use to view reports in Facebook Analytics as well as use for tracking conversions from Facebook ads and building remarketing audiences (custom audiences) in Facebook ads.

I need to implement facebook login in Adobe AIR app for Desktop/Mobile.
I saw some docs on the code required for this.
My concern is, which platform should be selected in facebook apps console. Is it web ? Then what should be the web urls & where to place them ?
Well if you are building a mobile app, then you might want to select Android or iOS depending on the platform. If you are building the same app for both platforms then select any one of those and later under settings of your app dashboard you can click on Add Platform and add the other one. If your app has a canvas presence then you can add that as well later on. Regardless of what you pick initially, you can always add/edit platforms on your app dashboard.
I'm about to use Facebook to advertise my app.
here's my question, for data tracking in FB analytics:
Is this data the actual app installation? OR
is it just how many people click on "Install" button?
Thank you
In order to track installs you need to integrate the Facebook SDK or use an SDK of one of the Mobile Measurement Partners.
See the Mobile Ads guide.
