Facebook iOS SDK and swift: how get user's profile picture

Question

i have integrated Facebook sdk in Xcode 6 (with swift). During the login i request the public_profile permission:

FBSession.openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions(         


        

Answer 1

The profile picture is in fact public and you can simply by adding the user id to Facebook's designated profile picture url address, ex:

var userID = user["id"] as NSString     
var facebookProfileUrl = "http://graph.facebook.com/\(userID)/picture?type=large"

This particular url address should return the "large" version of the user's profile picture, but several more photo options are available in the docs.
