    <p>I'm trying to use Facebook's Graph API to retrieve a list of checkins for myself from an iPhone application. I've requested a token and am able to access my profile information and a list of my friends, but when I request checkins I always get back an empty record set. I'm guessing it has something to do with the permissions I'm requesting, but I can do the query with the same permission on the Facebook Graph API Explorer (<a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&amp;path=me%2Fcheckins" rel="nofollow">https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&amp;path=me%2Fcheckins</a>) and I do get data.</p> <p>Token request:</p> <pre><code>NSArray *perm = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"user_status", @"user_events", @"user_location", @"friends_checkins", @"friends_status", nil]; [FBSession openActiveSessionWithReadPermissions:perm allowLoginUI:YES completionHandler: ^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState state, NSError *error) { //handle the session opening }]; </code></pre> <p>Then when I try to retrieve the checkins (in seperate view controller):</p> <pre><code>[[FBRequest requestForGraphPath:@"/me/checkins"] startWithCompletionHandler: ^(FBRequestConnection *connection, NSDictionary&lt;FBGraphObject&gt; *checkins, NSError *error) { if (!error) { NSLog(FBSession.activeSession.description); NSArray *data = [checkins objectForKey:@"data"]; for (FBGraphObject *c in data) { //execution never gets here because data is empty } } }]; </code></pre> <p>The execution never reaches the <code>for</code> loop because the <code>data</code> variable is empty.</p> <p>I've printed out the current session state just before the <code>for</code> loop to ensure that everything is correct. the result was:</p> <pre><code>&lt;FBSession: 0x15555555, state: FBSessionStateOpen, loginHandler: 0x5555555, appID: 55555555555, urlSchemeSuffix: , tokenCachingStrategy:&lt;FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy: 0x15555555&gt;, expirationDate: 4001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000, refreshDate: 2013-05-15 06:55:56 +0000, attemptedRefreshDate: 0001-12-30 00:00:00 +0000, permissions:( "user_status", "user_events", "user_location", "friends_checkins", "friends_status" )&gt; </code></pre> <p>I can't figure out what I might be missing.</p>

    1. COHave you tried to print current session state and error! If you're not reaching to `for` loop block then it may chance of error there!

    2. COThe `error` is `nil` (execution gets to the `for` loop, but not into it). I've added the print out of session description to the question. Thanks for that suggestion.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
