retrieve full list of friends using facebook API [duplicate]

Question

new 2.0 version has a paging that limit the numbers of friends at one request, which doesn't allow me to retrieve all friends at once although there's a parameter call 'limit', it can only be done by looping the 'offset' till the end. The problem is each user has different number of friends!

I've been looking around for few hours but still don't have a solution..

As mentioned in the Graph API v2.0 upgrading guide (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading#upgrading_v2_0_user_ids)

/me/friends returns the user's friends who are also using your app In v2.0, the friends API endpoint returns the list of a person's friends who are also using your app. In v1.0, the response included all of a person's friends.

There are two key use cases where apps need access to non-app friends: tagging and inviting. In v2.0, we've added the Taggable Friends API and the Invitable Friends API to support these flows.

After a person has logged in with v2.0 of Facebook Login, calling /v1.0/me/friends and/v2.0/me/friends` will both result in the v2.0 behaviour - both calls will return the set of the person's friends who also use the app.

So, in v2.0 you'll only be able to get all friends via the /me/taggable_friends (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/user/taggable_friends) endpoint, which only contains the fields id, name, picture, and only can be used after a review of your app by Facebook.
