Facebook FQL gives error for friends_birthday permission

Question

I am try to execute fql to get permissions for myapp. here is my fql query

    SELECT read_friendlists,friends_birthday FROM permissions where uid='.$uid

It works fine with app I had created earlier but with newly created app I get following error

"friends_birthday is not a member of the permissions table"

Any Idea what is causing this?

Until April 30 2015 you should still be able to use the v1.0 of the Graph API. As CBroe wrote, the friends_* permission will be removed then.

You should be able to specify the Graph API version you want to use till then as described here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/versions#calling_from_supported_sdks

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?fql=SELECT%20read_friendlists%2Cfriends_birthday%20FROM%20permissions%20where%20uid%3Dme() 

works for me if I choose v1.0 as version in the upper right corner's dropdown.
