Xcode version

Version 14.1 (14B47b)

Facebook iOS SDK version

14.1.0

Dependency Manager

CocoaPods

SDK Framework

Core

Goals

On iOS 14, Custom Events should be logged and show up as Test Events AppEvents.shared.logEvent(AppEvents.Name(CUSTOM_EVENT)) n the Events Manager using iOS 14+

If there is ANY issue with the event not being sent, it SHOULD SHOW UP IN THE LOGS

Expected results

After executing AppEvents.shared.logEvent(AppEvents.Name("applicationDidEnterBackground"))
the applicationDidEnterBackground event should show up in the Events Manager using iOS 14+

Why does it respond

FBSDKLog: Response <#1226>
Duration: 172 msec
Size: 11 kB
Response Body:
(
        {
        body =         {
            data =             (
            );
        };
        code = 200;
    }
)

when it doesn't work???

Actual results

The only events that show up are

fb_login_dialog_confirm_accept Automatically logged
fb_login_dialog_confirm_impression Automatically logged

If I run the SAME code on iOS 13.x, it works fine!

iOS 13.x debug :

Steps to reproduce

Install iOS 13.7 Simulator
Install iOS 14.5 Sinulator
Download the Example

git clone https://github.com/codeconsole/fbTestEvents
cd fbTestEvents

Update FB_APP_ID, FB_APP_ID, and FB_APP_ID in ios/App/App/Info.plist or run ./setupOSX.sh if on a Mac

        AppEvents.shared.logEvent(AppEvents.Name("applicationWillEnterForeground"))

Ok, this is ridiculous and it all came down to the Facebook App "Allow tracking" setting on my iPhone?!?
What does that have to do with running in the simulator where there is no Facebook App?
What does that have to do with custom events? Why do fb_login_dialog_accept Automatically logged
fb_login_dialog_confirm_impression Automatically work either way??

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
why does

Response Body:
(
        {
        body =         {
            success = 1;
        };
        code = 200;
    }
)

the response return successful?
Why isn't this properly documented?? Why isn't there some sort of error ANYWHERE?

AT THE VERY LEAST THERE SHOULD BE AN API CALL TO DETERMINE IF THE USER ALLOWS FACEBOOK APP TRACKING

If there is a permission issue with determining the use allowed App Tracking, the Response should still not return OK / 200 iF THE USER IS A TEST USER OR IS AN OWNER OF THE APP. If the user is a Test User or Owner of the App, it should return an error and state that the User does not have Tracking enabled on the Facebook app so Events are disabled.
