Or it could be possible that a normal user doesn't know how to resolve the error, so they ignore the app until a later time that it works.
Apparently (in 2015 at least), the iOS app had over 18,000 classes. There was even a presentation with a FB dev bragging about it's 'scale' tho suspiciously it's been scrubbed from the web
Overall, I can't fault them for this testing. It's understandable given the impact that Google could have on Facebook by dropping their app from the store.
In my experience, it provides little value for startups except in narrow arenas (cause or nprofit/physical consumer product) and is a time sink.
It reminded me of what a pain it was and it was worth having an hour as a sunk cost. If you are raising, it provides a minimal amount of validation and credibility, but time is much better spent elsewhere
I always view Facebook in Chrome on Android...
