Requesting user email from Facebook

Hi Kinvey Team,



Could you confirm whether your current implementation of "connect" request the user's email?



There was an old thread that said you did. (https://support.kinvey.com/discussion/200530858/requesting-facebook-users-e-mail-permission)



However, during my testing I could never get an email returned by Facebook even though my test user has everything set to Public.



We seem to be getting the default "public_profile", which doesn't include the email (needs to be requested explicitly in Kinvey's call to Facebook) in what's returned in _socialidentity.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1#reference



I'm not certain where the problem is, but knowing how you guys are calling Facebook would help. Thanks!

Yes, Kinvey only returns the `public_profile`, and it looks like the latest Facebook Graph API does not include any e-mail address any more.
