Get Facebook Friends returns empty - ios

Question

I am trying to get a list of friends for my app, however this is what the console returns:
{
data = (
);
summary = {
"total_count" = 1221;
};
The total count is right but it doesn't show me any of my friends?
I have created two test users on the facebook developer portal and they have both logged in with my app, and they are friends with me on facebook, shouldn't their data be showing?
Here is my code for requesting the permissions and such, this class is called each time the user logs in.
#implementation UploadUser
NSString *userName;
NSString *userId;
NSString *userGender;
//UIImage *userPicture;
NSString *userPicture;
NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest;
//NSData *imageData;
//NSData *pictureData;
//NSData *tempData;
//Retrieves users name, gender and id
-(void)getUserInfo {
FBSDKGraphRequest *requestUser = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]initWithGraphPath:#"me" parameters:nil];
FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection = [[FBSDKGraphRequestConnection alloc] init];
[connection addRequest:requestUser completionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
userName = result[#"name"];
userGender = result[#"gender"];
userId = result[#"id"];
if (connection) {
if (!error) {
[self setUserData];
[self uploadUser];
}
}else if (!connection) {
NSLog(#"Get User %#",error);
}
}];
[connection start];
//Get Friends
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
initWithGraphPath:#"/me/friends"
parameters:nil
HTTPMethod:#"GET"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
if (connection) {
NSLog(#"Friends = %#",result);
}else if (!connection) {
NSLog(#"Get Friends Error");
}
}];
}
//Saves user data to class
-(void)setUserData {
DataManager *dm = [DataManager sharedInstance];
[dm setObject:userName forKey:#"userName"];
[dm setObject:userGender forKey:#"userGender"];
[dm setObject:userId forKey:#"userId"];
NSLog(#"%#",userId);
NSLog(#"%#",userName);
NSLog(#"%#",userGender);
}
//Uploads user data online
-(void)uploadUser {
PFUser *user = [PFUser currentUser];
user[#"name"] = userName;
user[#"id"] = userId;
user[#"gender"] = userGender;
[user saveInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
if (succeeded) {
NSLog(#"User Data Uploaded :)");
} else {
//Handle Error
NSLog(#"User Upload Error... %#",error);
}
}];
}
Why are isn't my query returning my friends? Is it because my friends are not authorised to use my app? Is my permissions not being asked properly?

Answer 1

Also you can use Graph API Explorer in order to quickly check if your request works:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
If you want to check you friends you should ask your friend also use this link and get token. In this way the facebook system understand that your friend login in Graph API app and you will get the list of friends.

Answer 2

Since v2.0 of the Graph API, you can only get the friends who authorized your App with user_friends too. This is subject of countless Stackoverflow threads already, for example: Facebook Graph Api v2.0+ - /me/friends returns empty, or only friends who also use my app
