• javascript
• facebook
• jsapi

• What do you need the list of friends for? With API v2, you only get a user’s friends that are also using the same app. And invitable_friends is for use by canvas apps in the Games category only; if you’re app isn’t in that category, then don’t misuse invitable_friends for anything else. – C3roe Commented Sep 16, 2014 at 23:45
• I am making simple app just unable to get friends list. – Vinay Commented Sep 16, 2014 at 23:48

You need to ask for user_friends in the authorization process:

FB.login(function(response) {
    if (response.authResponse) {
        window.location.reload();
    }
}, {scope:'email,user_friends'});

You need this both for /me/friends and for /me/invitable_friends, see Facebook docs: https://developers.facebook./docs/games/invitable-friends/v2.1

Although you will only get friends who are using the App too with /me/friends. See changelog for more information: https://developers.facebook./docs/apps/changelog

What CBroe mented in your question is very important too. invitable_friends is for Games on facebook. only.

If your app is public and live also some of the friends who are using the app then you can get the list of them.

See what the documentation state #reference-user_friends:

user_friends - Provides access to a person's list of friends that also use your app.

After that you will be able to see what you want.

FB.api('/me/friends', function(response){
    console.log(response);
}, {scope: 'user_friends'});
