How to fetch Email,User connections from linkedin using oauth2?

Currently I am working implementing linkedin login for a website. (Following http://www.raymondcamden.com/2013/04/03/ColdFusion-and-OAuth-Part-2-Facebook/ ). I am successfully able to login, but there are issues while fetching user data from linkiedin. While creating an application in LinkedIn, there is no option for getting permission to user network connections and other data. Here is a screenshot.

enter image description here

When I tried to get the user connections using this url

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/connections?oauth2_access_token=#session.liaccesstoken# I am getting the below error.

enter image description here

When I tried to get the firstname,lastname and email, Its only fetching firstname and lastname but not the email address.

https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,maiden-name,email-address)?oauth2_access_token=#variables.accesstoken

enter image description here

Anyone having idea on it, why its not behaving as per the api expectation?

for fetching the email from linkedIn you need to set the scope in authorizationURL to which you need to add r_emailaddress as 

    let responseType = "code
    let redirectURL = "https://com.appcoda.linkedin.oauth/oauth".stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.alphanumericCharacterSet())!
    let state = "linkedin\(Int(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970))"
    let scope = "r_emailaddress"
    var authorizationURL = "\(authorizationEndPoint)?"
    authorizationURL += "response_type=\(responseType)&"
    authorizationURL += "client_id=\(linkedInKey)&"
    authorizationURL += "redirect_uri=\(redirectURL)&"
    authorizationURL += "state=\(state)&"
    authorizationURL += "scope=\(scope)"

I have used this APPLE's SWIFT Language Repo for Linkedin Login and User email fetch. It uses WebView Controller for launching linkedIn Login page. Just drag drop the WebViewController in your project simply push the Controller at the time of need . Here is the URL
