I'm trying to retrieve birthday data of facebook friends, but it's returning null. I'm using this code:
FBRequest* friendsRequest = [FBRequest requestForMyFriends];
[friendsRequest startWithCompletionHandler: ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
NSDictionary* result,
NSError *error) {
NSArray* friends = [result objectForKey:@"data"];
NSLog(@"Found: %i friends", friends.count);
for (NSDictionary<FBGraphUser>* friend in friends) {
NSLog(@"I have a friend named %@ - birthday %@", friend.name, friend.birthday);
}
}];
Friend name is ok, but friend birthday or all data that is not one of the basics friends data is returning null. Note i'm already added user_birthday and friends_birthday permissions in facebook.com app page and in openSession method (login):
- (void)openSession
{
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
@"user_birthday",
@"friends_birthday",
nil];
[FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions
allowLoginUI:YES
completionHandler:
^(FBSession *session,
FBSessionState state, NSError *error) {
[self sessionStateChanged:session state:state error:error];
}];
}
Needing some help here, i've already tried everything.
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
In v2.0 of the Graph API, you cannot get a person's friends birthdays - the friends_birthday
permission has been deprecated.
