I’m writing an game for android which uses facebook to keep track of user to save his game state in the cloud. We want to allow the user to invite his friends from facebook. However the facebook graph api no longer supports to get invitable friends (since April 4th https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/invitable_friends/)
I can’t find in page any information about how to workaround it. Is that it? No more ways to invite friends?

Currently no work arounds.

We have written an article on this subject, read here.
If you have a gaming app you can still use the GameRequest dialog. Facebook App invites was also deprecated back in Feb. However, our data has shown that organic installs through Facebook are only 1% when compared to other channels like WhatsApp (see a study by Sega and GetSocial).
