Not able to retrieve gender in google plus ios sdk

Question

I used GTLQueryPlus.queryForPeopleGetWithUserId("me") for retrieving logged in user information. I am not getting the gender in json. When I set the gender visibility to 'public' instead of 'my circles' from my google plus profile, then I got the gender.

How to get the gender info without changing the settings from googe plus profile settings?

scopes used: signIn.scopes = [kGTLAuthScopePlusMe, kGTLAuthScopePlusUserinfoProfile, kGTLAuthScopePlusLogin];

You can only access what a user has set to public. If the user doesn't want this information public then you cant have the information.

Just because I authenticate your application doesn't mean that I want you to for example to see my address or in this case my gender. So I don't set them public you cant see them.
