Thanks In advance

you should use request like this me/friends?fields=id,name,email — Vadim Kozak, Jul 07 '17 at 09:32
then what we write in the place of parameters initWithGraphPath:@"/me/friends" parameters @VadimKozak — user7356913, Jul 07 '17 at 09:36
You simply _don’t_ get a full list of friends any more. The taggable_friends endpoint you are using is for one purpose only - tagging friends in Open Graph stories. You must not use it for any other purpose. — CBroe, Jul 07 '17 at 13:58

Here is my working code to get friends from Facebook. Hope it will help you.

-(void)getFacebookFriend
{
    if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen)
    {
           [self ListFriend];
    }
    else
    {
        NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"email",@"user_friends",@"public_profile", nil];

        [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions
                                           allowLoginUI:YES
                                      completionHandler:
         ^(FBSession *session,
           FBSessionState state, NSError *error) {
             if(!error)
             {

                 [SVProgressHUD showWithStatus:PLEASE_WAIT];
                 [self performSelector:@selector(ListFriend) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];
             }
             else
                 [SVProgressHUD dismiss];
         }];
    }
}
-(void)ListFriend
{

    NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary new];
    [params setObject:@"id, first_name, last_name, middle_name, name, email, picture" forKey:@"fields"];
    [params setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"500"] forKey:@"limit"];
    if(_strPageToken.length > 0)
    {
        [params setObject:_strPageToken forKey:@"paging_token"];
        [params setObject:_strUntill forKey:@"until"];

    }

    [[FBRequest requestWithGraphPath:@"me/taggable_friends" parameters:params HTTPMethod:nil] startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error)
     {
         NSArray *aryFriend = result[@"data"];
         [_aryContact addObjectsFromArray:aryFriend];
         NSLog(@"%lu",(unsigned long)aryFriend.count);
         NSMutableDictionary *dicPaging = result[@"paging"];

         if(dicPaging[@"next"])
         {

             _strNextURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",dicPaging[@"next"]];
         }
         else
         {
             NSLog(@"Final Array count:    %lu",(unsigned long)_aryContact.count);
         }
     }];
}

Get Permissions:

 NSArray *permissions = @[@"user_birthday", @"friends_hometown",
                        @"friends_birthday", @"friends_location"];
[FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:permissions allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler: .....
NSLog(@"permissions::%@",FBSession.activeSession.permissions);

Post FBRequest:

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]);
 }}];

Also you can try requestForMyFriends on SDK 3.0 onwards. NB: It may provide Birthday information

FBRequest* friendsRequest = [FBRequest requestForMyFriends];
[friendsRequest startWithCompletionHandler: ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
                                  NSDictionary* result,
                                  NSError *error) {
    NSArray* friends = [result objectForKey:@"data"];
    NSLog(@"Found: %lu friends", (unsigned long)friends.count);
    for (NSDictionary<FBGraphUser>* friend in friends) {
        NSLog(@"I have a friend named %@ with id %@", friend.name, friend.objectID);
    }
}];

please look my edit question, i am getting list when i am using /me/taggable_friends , but i am having 267 friends the list is only for 4-5 friends Please see — user7356913, Jul 07 '17 at 10:56
