Minimal Facebook SDK setup for analytics/App Events

I'm building an app with React Native and I would like to use the Facebook SDK to track conversions from FB/IG ads, for this I need support for App Events. The only thing you need to add to the Podfile is according to the docs (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-events/getting-started-app-events-ios)

 pod 'FacebookSDK'

But with that I'm getting errors saying that 'FBSDKShareKit/FBSDKShareKit.h' file not found

So I added these lines to the Podfile as well

pod 'FacebookSDK/LoginKit'

pod 'FacebookSDK/ShareKit'

pod 'FacebookSDK/PlacesKit'

And the error disappeared! However, the app I'm building has no use for Facebooks login, share or places (not sure what "places" is). And moreover, since the latest version of the SDK, Itunes Connect is complaining that my Info.plist is missing NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription, which means that the new SDK also wants access to the phones Bluetooth capabilities. My app will never need access to anything Bluetooth related.

So what I would like to know is, what is the minimal setup to get Analytics/App Events working in my app, preferably without letting the SDK use login/share/location/bluetooth/other capabilities of the users phone?
