Answer 1

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/faq#invite_to_app

Request dialog and invitable_friends are out of the question, as you are talking about an iOS App (not a Game on Canvas). So according to the docs, this is the best option: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/share/#message-dialog

Answer 2

Facebook API call now only returns friends who have used the app. so, you can't fetch your whole friend list, only friends who are also using the app.

Answer 3

As you got, /me/friends returns friends who are using the app.

From the Facebook doc references

1. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/invitable-friends/v2.0
2. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/requests/v2.0

use @"/me/invitable_friends" instead of @"/me/friends"

UPDATED

As of April 30th'2014, apps can only get the list of friends who are also using the app, and you have to request the user_friends permission as you are getting now. For those users who have never logged in to your app before April 30th'2014 will get an app_scoped_id instead of their real facebook id.

With Facebook SDK 3.0 you can do this:

FBRequest* friendsRequest = [FBRequest requestForMyFriends];
[friendsRequest startWithCompletionHandler: ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
                                  NSDictionary* result,
                                  NSError *error) {
    NSArray* friends = [result objectForKey:@"data"];
    NSLog(@"Found: %i friends", friends.count);
    for (NSDictionary<FBGraphUser>* friend in friends) {
        NSLog(@"I have a friend named %@ with id %@", friend.name, friend.id);
    }
}];
