Not receiving Facebook picture via Graph API - iphone

Question

I can't seem to properly retrieve a user's profile picture using the current iOS graph method.
My call: self.pictureRequest = [facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/picture" andDelegate:self];
What I do with the result:
-(void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result{
if(request == self.pictureRequest){
UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 500, 500)];
image.image = [UIImage imageWithData:result];
[self.view addSubview:image];
NSLog("result is %#", result);
}
So I'm just trying to get the profile picture right now. Result shows up as null in the console. I guess this means I'm not actually getting a result? (I tried if(result) NSLog(#"got a result") but it doesn't return, so I'm guessing a result isn't being sent back by fb?)
Any ideas? I also looked up a similar problem here but not sure what they do differently:

Answer 1

well I can retrieve the user pic and other info like this .. try it
- (void)fetchUserDetails {
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"SELECT uid, name, pic, email FROM user WHERE uid=me()", #"query",nil];
[fb requestWithMethodName:#"fql.query"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
}//Call this function after the facebook didlogin
and in request didLoad:
- (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result
{
if([request.url rangeOfString:#"fql.query"].location !=NSNotFound)
{
if ([result isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]] && [result count]>0) {
result = [result objectAtIndex:0];
}
if ([result objectForKey:#"name"]) {
self.fbUserName = [result objectForKey:#"name"];
// Get the profile image
UIImage *fbimage = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[result objectForKey:#"pic"]]]];
}

If you want to get the picture URL using requestWithGraph path (instead of requestWithMethodName like #Malek_Jundi provides) then see my answer here:

You can also get fb profile picture url by,
NSString *userFbId;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"https://graph.facebook.com/%#/picture", userFbId]];
NSData *imageData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
self.userProfileImage.image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
