"Can only send requests to friends or users of this application"

Question

Using the code

FB.ui({
            method: 'apprequests',
            filters: 'app_non_users',
            message: $filter('i18n')('voices-invite-facebookMessage'),
            to: users // an array of uIDs
        }, function(data){
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        });

I get the following dialog:

Can only send requests to friends or users of this application

From the documentation I fought I was able to invite friends to use my app, did I understand it wrong?

Thanks

are you sure the users on the array, you're passing, doesn't have the app already installed — Fabio Antunes, Jun 20 '13 at 14:20
I am :) Meanwhile I remembered that having the app in sandbox mode would be the reason, but making it live didn't solve anything out. :( — Luís Lopes, Jun 20 '13 at 15:42
One more thing this is a canvas app or an iframe app(app inside a facebook page)? — Fabio Antunes, Jun 20 '13 at 16:44

I figured out that actually the people I was inviting weren't "my friends". The access token provided to fetch the friends and the one that the SDK logged in, and used to do the FB.ui request weren't the same. Sorry for your time...
