# friendListDescriptionMissing

The system denies access to the local player’s friends list because the game didn’t provide a reason.

```
static var friendListDescriptionMissing: GKError.Code { get }
```

## Discussion

If your game wants access to the player’s friends, provide a reason by adding the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/BundleResources/Information-Property-List/NSGKFriendListUsageDescription> key to the information property list.
