Error: use of undeclared identifier 'FBSDKApplicationDelegate'

Question

I installed react-native-fbsdk-next. Followed configuration steps. Wanted to build app on iOS (as usual). I am getting an error: use of undeclared identifier 'FBSDKApplicationDelegate' and the app won't build.

The error:

My AppDelegate.mm:

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <react-native-splash-screen/RNSplashScreen.h>
#import <FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  self.moduleName = @"AppName";
  self.initialProps = @{};

  bool didFinish=[super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
  [RNSplashScreen show];
  [[FBSDKApplicationDelegate sharedInstance]application:application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
  return didFinish;
}

- (NSURL *)sourceURLForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge
{
#if DEBUG
  return [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index"];
#else
  return [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
}

- (BOOL)concurrentRootEnabled
{
  return true;
}


- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app
            openURL:(NSURL *)url
            options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options
{
  bool handled=[[FBSDKApplicationDelegate sharedInstance]application:app
                                                                     openURL:url
                                                                     options:options];
  return handled;
}

@end

I tried to switch #import <FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit.h> into #import <FBSDKCoreKit/FBSDKCoreKit-Switch.h> the app build but I was unable to open the app - crash. I also tried to fix it by deleting the pods, deleting the derived data and uninstallation of the app in the emulator.
