How to Get Facebook Friends List with Profile Picture and urls in v2.1

Question

I had an application before which extracted my friends list with profile pictures but because Facebook depreciated v1.0 API so it is now not working.

Now I want to extract my friends list with API v2.0 and here is the command I am using to do this

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

The issue is that it only shows the total count of my friends but not there name and ids like this

{
  "data": [
  ], 
 "summary": {
"total_count": 258
 }
}

In the Debug menu it shows this message!

Only friends who installed this app are returned in API v2.0 and higher. total_count in summary represents the total number of friends, including those who haven't installed the app.

Can somebody let me know if I am doing something wrong or what should be the command to extract my friends information with API v2.0.

Thank You!

You are doing everything correct. In API v2.0 you only get friends that have granted user_friends permission to your app. Just like the message say — WizKid, May 01 '15 at 16:15
So isn't there any other way to gather my friends name and id using this API? — rajkumar116, May 01 '15 at 16:18

As you can read in the comments, it is not possible to get all friends anymore - only those who authorized your App too. You can read about this in detail in the answer of this thread: Facebook Graph Api v2.0+ - /me/friends returns empty, or only friends who also use my app
