Answer 1

You can use the below code to get user's gender, city, e-mail, and date of birth

In .h file add,

#import <Accounts/Accounts.h>
@property (nonatomic, retain) ACAccountStore *accountStore;
@property (nonatomic, retain) ACAccount *facebookAccount;
-(void)get;
-(void)attemptRenewCredentials;
- (void) getuserdetails;

in .m file

- (void) getuserdetails
{

  self.accountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc]init];
  ACAccountType *FBaccountType= [self.accountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierFacebook];

  NSString *key = @"your app id";
  NSDictionary *dictFB = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:key,ACFacebookAppIdKey,@[@"email"],ACFacebookPermissionsKey, nil];


  [self.accountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:FBaccountType options:dictFB completion:
 ^(BOOL granted, NSError *e) {
     if (granted) {
         NSArray *accounts = [self.accountStore accountsWithAccountType:FBaccountType];
         self.facebookAccount = [accounts lastObject];
         NSLog(@"facebook account =%@",self.facebookAccount);
         [self get];
     } else {
         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

            // NSLog(@"%@",e.description);
             if([e code]== ACErrorAccountNotFound)
             {
                 UIAlertView* alt = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Account not found"
                                                               message:@"Please setup your Facebook account in Settings App" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Ok",nil];
                 [alt show];
             }
             else
             {
                 UIAlertView* alt = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Access Denied"
                                                               message:@"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:@"Ok",nil];

                                           parameters:nil];
    request.account = self.facebookAccount;

    [request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *data,

        NSLog(@"Dictionary contains: %@", list );
        NSLog(@"EmailID %@",[list objectForKey:@"email"]);

        NSLog(@"Birthday %@",[list objectForKey:@"birthday"]);
        NSLog(@"Gender %@",[list objectForKey:@"gender"]);

        NSLog(@"City %@",[[list objectForKey:@"location"] objectForKey:@"name"]);


        if([list objectForKey:@"error"]!=nil)
        {
            [self attemptRenewCredentials];
        }
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^{
        });

    }
    else{
        //handle error gracefully

                [alt show];
                break;
            }
            default:
                break;
        }

    }
    else{
        //handle error gracefully
        NSLog(@"error from renew credentials%@",error);

-(void)accountChanged:(NSNotification *)notif//no user info associated with this notif

- (void)sessionStateChanged:(NSNotification*)notification
{  
  if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen)
  {
            [[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:
             ^(FBRequestConnection *connection, NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user, NSError *error)
             {

                         //for geting the user detail.
                         NSString *fbSelectDetails = [@"" stringByAppendingFormat:@"https://graph.facebook.com/me? fields=id,name,email,first_name,last_name,gender,picture,link,birthday,quotes,education&access_token=%@",FBSession.activeSession.accessToken];

                         NSMutableDictionary *userDetails = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[DataLayer getJSONContentFromURL:fbSelectDetails]];


                         NSString *uid = [userDetails valueForKey:@"id"];
                         NSString *userName= user.name;
                         NSString *userEmail=  [userDetails valueForKey:@"email"];
                         NSString *userFirstName=  [userDetails valueForKey:@"first_name"];
                         NSString *userLastName=  [userDetails valueForKey:@"last_name"];

                         NSString *userDob=  [userDetails valueForKey:@"birthday"];

                         NSMutableDictionary *imgUrl = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[userDetails valueForKey:@"picture"]];
                         NSString *userImgUrl= [[imgUrl valueForKey:@"data"] valueForKey:@"url"];
