Answer 1

It worked for me too. Please note its issue at socialite2.0 for laravel 5.2 Just download and update the code. https://github.com/laravel/socialite/blob/2.0/src/Two/FacebookProvider.php

Answer 2

In socialite redirect to facebook method :

    public function redirectToFacebook()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('facebook')->fields([
            'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'gender', 'birthday'
        ])->scopes([
            'email', 'user_birthday'
        ])->redirect();
    }

To get the birth date.

Then to use it in your own models :

    public function handleFacebookCallback()
    {
        $facebook_user = Socialite::driver('facebook')->fields([
            'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'gender', 'birthday'
        ])->user();
    }

Note: it will ask for the user to accept sharing their birth date when they connect to Facebook though.
