Facebook Email field return null (even if the “email” permission is set and accepted)

I had the same problem and I think I found out why: If the user has an unconfirmed email in Facebook (i.e. Facebook sent him a validation mail to the user's email address but he didn't respond) Facebook WILL NOT pass that email to your app even if he gave you the email permissions.

So what I did is use his or her Facebook email if the user has a user name (i.e. [email protected]).


I have the same issue. It is working fine on my localhost, i am using php SDK for facebook login and when i submit my request it's return all the fields like email,name etc of the user but on server somehow it is not working.It will not returns user email. I have done lots of R&D on that and i have the solution for the issue. :)

$profile = $facebook->api('/me?fields=email,first_name,last_name');

if you are using php-sdk just passes fields like this it returns the email,first_name etc. Hopes it works for you all. thanks.


Facebook does not send the email if the user has logged in with their phone number. View the comments on https://github.com/mkdynamic/omniauth-facebook/issues/61 for more info.
