Answer 1

if you are using OAuth Starter Kit try this . . . .

1. first go to https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer edit your App scope , make sure you have checked the r_network scope .

2. then go to OAuthLoginView of you project , then go to -(void) requestTokenFromProvider method .

edit you scope in below lines .

OARequestParameter *nameParam = [[OARequestParameter alloc] initWithName:@"scope"
value:@"r_fullprofile+rw_nus+r_network"];

OARequestParameter * scopeParameter=[OARequestParameter requestParameter:@"scope" 
value:@"r_fullprofile rw_nus r_network"];

You need to ask for permissions.. When this is not done you are not allowed to query this information.
