FBRequest not returning user birthdate

Question

I'm using Facebook SDK v.3.18.2

I only wants user's first name, last name, email and date of birth, I'm getting everything except date of birth.

I'm surely doing wrong with the permission? Not sure.

Here's some code to help you find out my problem,

    [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:@[@"public_profile"] allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler:
     ^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState state, NSError *error) {
         // Call the sessionStateChanged:state:error method to handle session state changes
         [self sessionStateChanged:session state:state error:error];
     }];

// This method will handle ALL the session state changes in the app
- (void)sessionStateChanged:(FBSession *)session state:(FBSessionState) state error:(NSError     *)error
{
    // If the session was opened successfully
    if (!error && state == FBSessionStateOpen){
        NSLog(@"Session opened");
        if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {

//            This is not working though I'm putting it as comment
//            [[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:
//             ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
//               NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user,
//               NSError *error) {
//                 if (!error) {
//                     NSLog(@"User Info : %@",user);
//                 }
//             }];
        
        [[FBRequest requestForGraphPath:@"me"] startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
            NSLog(@"%@",result);
        }];
    }
    return;
}

Here's Output Log:

{
    email = "email@domain";
    "first_name" = Hemang;
    gender = male;
    id = someId;
    "last_name" = Shah;
    link = "https://www.facebook.com/app_scoped_user_id/someId/";
    locale = "en_US";
    name = "Hemang Shah";
    timezone = "5.5";
    "updated_time" = "some date and time";
    verified = 1;
}

But date of birth is missing, I've it set in my profile too.

Update:

Tried with the following permissions NOT WORKED!

"user_birthdate" or "birthday"

you need to ask for "user_birthday" along with public_profile .
