Getting username and profile picture from Facebook iOS 7

Question

I have read a lot of tutorials about getting information from Facebook, but I have failed so far. I just want to get username and profile picture from Facebook.

- (IBAction)login:(id)sender {

   [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:@[@"email",@"user_location",@"user_birthday",@"user_hometown"]
                                   allowLoginUI:YES
                              completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState state, NSError *error) {

   switch (state) {
      case FBSessionStateOpen:
         [[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user, NSError *error) {
            if (error) {
               NSLog(@"error:%@",error);
            } else {
               // retrive user's details at here as shown below
               NSLog(@"FB user first name:%@",user.first_name);
               NSLog(@"FB user last name:%@",user.last_name);
               NSLog(@"FB user birthday:%@",user.birthday);
               NSLog(@"FB user location:%@",user.location);
               NSLog(@"FB user username:%@",user.username);
               NSLog(@"FB user gender:%@",[user objectForKey:@"gender"]);
               NSLog(@"email id:%@",[user objectForKey:@"email"]);
               NSLog(@"location:%@", [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Location: %@\n\n",
                                                                         user.location[@"name"]]);

             }
        }];
        break;
        case FBSessionStateClosed:
        case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
           [FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];
        break;
        default:
        break;
       }

   } ];


 }

I used this code for get information, but I cannot get the any information. Can you help me about it? or Can you prefer a tutorial to read it? I have read tutorials on developer.facebook.com.

Thank you for your interest.

This is the simplest way I've found to get the user's profile picture.

[[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *FBuser, NSError *error) {
    if (error) {
      // Handle error
    }

    else {
      NSString *userName = [FBuser name];
      NSString *userImageURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://graph.facebook.com/%@/picture?type=large", [FBuser objectID]];
    }
  }];

Other query parameters that can be used are:

• type: small, normal, large, square
• width: < value >
• height: < value >
  • Use both width and height to get a cropped, aspect fill image
