get facebook user friends birthday - ios

Question

Is there a way to get facebook user friends birthday using iOS Facebook SDK? Also, I've tried to load user friends birthday from user events but I've only got the events, not birthdays.
Here is the code I've tried:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let facebookReadPermissions = ["user_events"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
if FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil {
return
}
FBSDKLoginManager().logInWithReadPermissions(self.facebookReadPermissions, handler: { (result:FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error:NSError!) -> Void in
if error != nil {
FBSDKLoginManager().logOut()
println(error)
} else if result.isCancelled {
FBSDKLoginManager().logOut()
println("cancelled")
} else {
var allPermsGranted = true
let perms = result.grantedPermissions as NSSet
let grantedPermissions = Array(result.grantedPermissions).map( {"\($0)"} )
for permission in self.facebookReadPermissions {
if !contains(grantedPermissions, permission) {
allPermsGranted = false
break
}
}
if allPermsGranted {
// Do work
println("all perm granted, success!")
let fbToken = result.token.tokenString
let fbUserID = result.token.userID
println(fbToken)
println(fbUserID)
self.getUserEvents()
} else {
println("failure")
}
}
})
}
func getUserEvents() {
if FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken() != nil {
FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me", parameters: ["fields": "events"]).startWithCompletionHandler({ (connection, result, error) -> Void in
if error == nil {
println(result)
println("----------------------")
println(result as! NSDictionary)
}
})
}
}
}
Output:
{
events = {
data = (
{
description = dfgfdgfdg;
id = 791086224356028;
name = "B party";
"rsvp_status" = attending;
"start_time" = "2015-08-30";
},
{
description = "\U0422\U0435\U0441\U0442";
id = 1624498701141585;
name = "\U0422\U0435\U0441\U0442";

};
"rsvp_status" = attending;
"start_time" = "2015-08-30";
}
);
paging = {

};

From Facebook api v2.0 onwards, all friend permissions have been removed. You cannot get a friend's birthday. Reference https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
