I am using @"me/taggable_friends" this query gives the detail of friends without birthday. So Give me the permission name or query any other way to get all friends with birthday.

I am using code like..

        [[[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc] initWithGraphPath:@"me/taggable_friends?limit=10" parameters:nil]
         startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id strong textresult, NSError *error) {
             if (!error) {
                 NSLog(@"fetched user:%@", result);
             }
         }];
    }

Answer 1

taggable_friends is for tagging friends only, you are not supposed to use it for anything else.

That being said, friend permissions are gone, it is not possible at all to get the birthday of a friend. The only way to get the birthday of a friend is by authorizing that friend too, with the user_birthday permission.

Btw, you also need to go through Login Review for user_birthday. And you would need to go through a review process with taggable_friends too, it will never get approved for anything else than tagging.

Answer 2

using taggable-friend you can get only friends - id, first name, last name, middle_name, name, picture

taggable-friend

Field of Taggable-friend in graph Explorer as below.

Try this code and first approved your app on facebook developer account. after that you can easily access friend detail with birth date.

FBLoginView *loginView = [[FBLoginView alloc] init];
loginView.delegate = self;
loginView.readPermissions = @[@"public_profile", @"email", @"user_friends",@"image"];

BOOL status=[[RootAppDelegate sharedAppDelegate] netStatus];

if(status)
 {
__block FBSessionStateHandler runOnceHandler = ^(FBSession *session,
                                                 FBSessionState status,
                                                 NSError *error) {
};

[FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:@[@"email",@"user_birthday",@"user_friends",@"user_photos"]
                                   allowLoginUI:YES
                              completionHandler:^(FBSession *session,
                                                  FBSessionState status,
                                                  NSError *error) {
                                  if (!error) {
                                      if (FBSession.activeSession.state == FBSessionStateOpen){

                            /// write here your code whatever you want.

                                      }
                                  }
                                  if (runOnceHandler) {
                                      runOnceHandler(session, status, error);
                                      runOnceHandler = nil;
                                  }

                              }
 ];
