I am trying to develop a mobile app which basically will help you track the location of your friends and family based on the geolocation information from them. So I understand that this will involve getting their permission, before accessing the data.
I have a basic understanding of developing apps in Titnaium Appcelerator. But I need help in figuring out how to communicate with a third party device, ask for permission and retrieve its geolocation.
The app I am developing will be very similar to this: http://goo.gl/dvCgP

Sounds like you pretty much need help with the entire app. Basically you're going to have to start digging into the docs for everything you need to know.
Geolocation: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.Geolocation
3rd Party Communication: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.Network.HTTPClient
Also, you can use ACS to both do friend requests and track and store the latest geo data for each person: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.Cloud
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/2.1/index.html#!/api/Titanium.Cloud.Friends
I would just start building one thing at a time. When you have problems with a piece, then come back and ask more specific questions and definitely provide some code.
