The question was to get the profile data from LinkedIn after login. The demo application is from https://github.com/ResultsDirect/LinkedIn-iPhone

We have to do changes in "-(RDLinkedInConnectionID *)profileForCurrentUser " this function. The function is located at LinkedInClientLibrary -> Classes -> RDLinkedInEngine this location.

We just have to change the below url to get data.

NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:[kAPIBaseURL stringByAppendingString:@"/v1/people/~/
"]];

To get the user profile data just change the url to:

NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:[kAPIBaseURL stringByAppendingString:@"/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,maiden-name,formatted-name,phonetic-last-name,location:(country:(code)),industry,distance,current-status,current-share,network,skills,phone-numbers,date-of-birth,main-address,positions:(title),educations:(school-name,field-of-study,start-date,end-date,degree,activities))"]];

From this url we can get the data of the profile user.

To get more fields from user profile refers these links:

https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/field-selectors https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields

To get data according to fields we have to mention the parent of that fields and needed fields from that.This is listed in https://developer.linkedin.com/documents/profile-fields this link.

If we want data from education so we have to mention as 

educations:(school-name,field-of-study,start-date,end-date,degree,activities)

educations will be the parent and other data in brackets() are its fields which we can get from profile.

Hope this will work with you also.
