Facebook API - How to get user's nationality (location)? - facebook

Question

I'm using Facebook Phonegap plugin for my mobile game project. My problem is I can't get user's location after call facebookConnectPlugin:
facebookConnectPlugin.login(["email"], function(response) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.authResponse.userID));
sessionStorage.setItem("userID", JSON.stringify(response.authResponse.userID));
facebookConnectPlugin.api(
"me/?fields=id,email,first_name,last_name,location", ["user_birthday"],
function(response) {
alert(JSON.stringify(response))
}, function(response) {
alert(JSON.stringify(response))
});
$state.transitionTo('app.home');
}, function(response) {
alert(JSON.stringify(response))
});
facebookConnectPlugin.js

You don't ask for the appropriate permission user_location, and if you don't, you can't get access to the data. That's plain simple.
