So far, OS X 10.8.2’s Social.Framework works great:

NSURL *requestURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends"];
SLRequest *fbRequest = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET URL:requestURL parameters:params];

This properly delivers the list of friends of the me() object. Fine!

However, once I try to make use of Field Expansion, as follows, the request fails with the error:
An active access token must be used to query information about the current user:

[NSURL URLWithString:@".../friends?fields=cover,picture"];

This is surely reasoned by the fact, that the access_token will be appended internally in the Social.framework using st. similar to “?access_token=%@”, which will fail in conjunction with the previous ?fields= usage by myself.

So I wonder whether this is actually a bug of the framework, or whether I’m using it wrongly? I’d really be thankful for any helpful information.

    After contacting Apple directly, this is clearly the answer:
    Add the field expansion tags using the GET parameter variable, instead of adding them to the actual URL:

    SLRequest *fbRequest = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook
requestMethod:SLRequestMethodGET
URL:requestURL
parameters:@{@"fields":@"cover,picture"}];

    Which is obvious, but I didn’t think of that :). I’ll let this thread as it is if someone might stumble upon the same problem in future!
