Fetch Facebook friend list using SLRequest in ios 6.0

Question

I integrated Facebook in iOS 6.0 as described in this question:

How to integrate Facebook in iOS 6 using SLRequest?

But I am not able to fetch the Facebook friend list using SLRequest. Can anyone know how to do this? I want to implement "Play with Friends" kind of features in my game.

Answer 1

I figured it how it should work.

The below code is working fine for me.

 NSArray *accounts = [accountStore
                               accountsWithAccountType:facebookAccountType];
          ACAccount *facebookAccount = [accounts lastObject];
          NSString *acessToken = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",facebookAccount.credential.oauthToken];
          NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"access_token": acessToken};
          NSURL *feedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends"];
          SLRequest *feedRequest = [SLRequest
                                    requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook
                                    requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET
                                    URL:feedURL
                                    parameters:parameters];
          feedRequest.account = facebookAccount;
          [feedRequest performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData,
                                                   NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error)
           {
               NSLog(@"%@",[[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
           }];
      }
      else
      {
          // Handle Failure
      }
