Contributions summary:Afraz primarily focused on migrating existing Objective-C code, specifically within the `FBSDKLoginKit` and `FBAEMKit` modules, to Swift. This involved rewriting classes such as `FBTooltipView`, `FBAEMRequestBody`, `FBAEMRule`, `_AEMEvent`, and `_AEMAdvertiserSingleEntryRule`, updating related tests, and bridging signatures for Objective-C compatibility. The user also migrated the `SKAdNetworkReporting` protocol to Swift and updated the `FBAEMNetworker` class. These changes represent a significant effort in modernizing the Facebook iOS SDK codebase, transitioning towards Swift, and potentially improving code maintainability.
