Facebook iOS Sdk - Get Friends List

How to get Friends list from Facebook iOS sdk

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

Since v2.0 you cannot get the full friend list anymore, you only get the friends who authorized your App too.

See my answer in this thread too: how to get a list of all user friends (not only who use the app)?

Facebook iOS SDK - get friends list in Graph API v2.4

You have to add permission at login time user_friends

A user access token with user_friends permission is required to view any of that person's friend lists.

you can get only that friends who installed the same apps,

Only friends who installed this app are returned in API v2.0 and higher. total_count in summary represents the total number of friends, including those who haven't installed the app.

FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
                              initWithGraphPath:@"me/friends"
                              parameters:nil
                              HTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection,
                                      id result,
                                      NSError *error) {
    // Handle the result
}];

Its possible to get Facebook friends list in app with latest SDK in IOS

             NSLog(@"result is:%@",result);
                      if ([FBSDKAccessToken currentAccessToken])
                   {
                 NSLog(@"Token is available : %@",[[FBSDKAccessToken currentAccessToken]tokenString]);

                      }
                      else

Facebook Get friends list

From the Facebook SDK page, it looks like /me/friends will only return your friends that have logged in and given permission to the same app (i.e. you and your friends need to have permitted your app to use facebook via login).

Get All friend list from Facebook using Facebook SDK 4.20 iOS]

It is not possible with Graph Api

me/friends

me/taggable_friends

returns friends that can be tagged in content published.

me/invitable_friends

This edge is only available to Games (including Gameroom), and requires the user_friends permission. its return a inevitable friends for game

Get Facebook friends list in Swift

Here is what I ended up doing. Unlike the first 2 permissions, I had to make a separate request to get the friends:

FBRequestConnection.startForMyFriendsWithCompletionHandler({ (connection, result, error: NSError!) -> Void in
        if error == nil {
            var friendObjects = result["data"] as [NSDictionary]
            for friendObject in friendObjects {
                println(friendObject["id"] as NSString)
            }
            println("\(friendObjects.count)")
        } else {
            println("Error requesting friends list form facebook")
            println("\(error)")
        }
    })
