Getting all Facebook friends using Graph API

Question

Answer 1

I don't think this is the cause. I was also struggling with this case. Using taggable_friends instead of friends will bring your friends.

The point is that "friends" for facebook are those who use the same APP you are using/doing.

Hope it helps.
