for iOS users looking for this, here is what helped me out (using version 5 of the graph, June 2016):

- (void)getUsersFaceBookFriends {
NSDictionary *params = @{@"fields": @"name, id, picture"};
FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc] initWithGraphPath:@"/me/friends" parameters:params HTTPMethod:@"GET"];

 [request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    if (!error) {
        NSArray * friendList = [result objectForKey:@"data"];
        for (NSDictionary * friend in friendList) {
            NSLog(@"Friend id: %@", friend[@"id"]);
            NSLog(@"Friend name: %@", friend[@"name"]);
            NSLog(@"Friend picture: %@", friend[@"picture"]);
        }
    }
 }];
}

this code will get the user's Facebook friends who are also using the app, along with their name, id, and profile photo url.

If you use Three20, you can try this extension:

https://github.com/RIKSOF/three20/tree/development/src/extThree20Facebook

It allows you to use all Graph API features with just a few line of code.

One line solution:

https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=[oauth_token]&fields=name,id,picture

You can get a list of your friends at this endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends. Then, you can get a friend's profile picture at this endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com/[profile_id]/picture.

Be sure to use this SDK: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-iphone-sdk

Hope this helps!
