facebook search code or friends list display

I was using user_friends tag to display a user's facebooks friends. However, with the new update it will only show friends who have used the app before (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user/friends)

The only information I want to get from the API is the friend's names. Is there a way to get and display these names without going through the app approval process.

Alternatively, Is there a way I can add something like the facebook search, where a user can start typing out a name and have facebook bring up search results. Again the only thing I need are the names. (I don't need friends' emails, profile info etc)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Even with any approval, for just listing the names of your friends there is no possible way anymore. You don´t need to get user_friends approved (it is approved by default), but it will only show the friends who authorized your App too, as you already found out.

About searching users, please take a look at the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.2#search
