Using facebook graph API to fetch app users returns only the test users

Question

I'm using the Facebook Graph API Explorer to fetch all of my friends that are using my app. I am trying to do it with graph API:

me/friends?fields=id,installed,name

or

FQL: SELECT uid, name, pic FROM user WHERE is_app_user AND uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())

and in both ways I only get the test users although I definitely have friends that using my app. The app is not in development mode and public. What is going on?

FB.api('me/friends?fields=id,installed,name', function(response) {console.log(response);} What response you are getting. Is there any errors coming. — Gowri

No error. I get a list of my friends that use my app but the only problem is that I only get the testers (friends that are defined as testers) and not the rest. — Rotem

That is by design. In Facebook API v2.0 you only get friends that have installed the app. — WizKid

I found the solution for this and it's because the app didn't asked for user_friends permission in the authentication.

when you were in the development mode, can you get the list of your friends who are using your app? I can't seem to be able to do it...

Make sure you are asking for the 'user_friends' permission in the app settings
