Question

I have created a very simple app to invite friends.

This is my code:

function sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector() {
FB.ui({
  method: 'apprequests',
  message: 'You should learn more about this awesome game.'
});
}

The friends selector appears but it doesn’t work 🙁

Live demo and complete source code:

That code works fine for me.

Jumping slightly ahead and guessing a little; when you say it doesn’t work, are you referring to a case where the recipients don’t see the request?

If so, it’s possible you haven’t configured a Canvas App (i.e a way to access your app via apps.facebook.com/something ) – requests are only valid for mobile or canvas apps and are hidden otherwise.

See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/requests/ for more information:

User to User Requests are only available for Canvas apps, not
websites, as accepting a request will direct the user to the Canvas
Page URL of the app that sent the Request.
