Unless there's a major security vulnerability, you can only delegate access to data you have access yourself. So your friend did the equivalent of giving Cambridge Analytica your data - the technical implementation of it (as to whether CA got the data off your friend's phone or from Facebook directly) doesn't really change the outcome.
