iOS Facebook Sdk 3.1 Retrieve Friend Birthday Returning Null

iOS Facebook SDK 3.1 Retrieve friend birthday returning null

I have the same problem and i solve this way.

• First of all, be sure that you have the correct permissions.

   NSArray *permissions = @[@"user_birthday", @"friends_hometown",
                          @"friends_birthday", @"friends_location"];
  [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler: .....
  

• Then, DO NOT USE requestForMyFriends. I try in several ways ( changing the FBRequest and this kind of things

• Check the permissions and be sure that it was the permissions you need.

  NSLog(@"permissions::%@",FBSession.activeSession.permissions);
  

• Now generate the FBRequest this way.

  FBRequest *friendRequest = [FBRequest requestForGraphPath:@"me/friends?fields=name,picture,birthday,location"];
   [ friendRequest startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
      NSArray *data = [result objectForKey:@"data"];
      for (FBGraphObject<FBGraphUser> *friend in data) {
          NSLog(@"%@:%@", [friend name],[friend birthday]);
   }}];
  

I finally get this data. I hope it helps you

FQL query with v3.1 Facebook SDK for iOS to get birthday and email

Before you call your query, you'll need to have the user log in and ask for email and user_birthday permissions. For example:

- (BOOL)openSessionWithAllowLoginUI:(BOOL)allowLoginUI {
    NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                        @"email",
                        @"user_birthday",
                        nil];
    return [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions
                                          allowLoginUI:allowLoginUI
                                     completionHandler:^(FBSession *session,
                                                     FBSessionState state,
                                                     NSError *error) {
                                     [self sessionStateChanged:session
                                                         state:state
                                                         error:error];
                                 }];
}
