In v2.0 of the Graph API, calling /me/friends returns the person's friends who also use the app.

Check this link: Facebook Graph Api v2.0+ - /me/friends returns empty, or only friends who also use my app

When I login with ID my friend and retry send request "me/friends" again. It return ID my Facebook to me. If you need test, you can use this way.

With the introduction of the Facebook Graph API 2.0, access a user’s friends list was removed and limited to just friends who use the same application. However, Facebook added two new APIs to allow retrieval of Friend names (and indirectly a friend count). The two new APIs are taggable_friends and invitable_friends.

Check those Links, Facebook made a big step forward towards privacy. /me/friends only returns friends who authorized the App too, that´s why the result is empty.

I have currently find this one useful, just posting a snippet:

  FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
      message: 'Please sign up .',
      filters: ['app_non_users']
    }, function(response){
        console.log("Response from app requests:"+response);
    });
