I agree that Genie is deceitful and manipulative, but not to the point of being evil. So technically, the first wish granted was when Genie saved Aladdin's life. The 2nd being that Genie was freed. And because the wish was made while Genie was under his power, Aladdin becomes a prince.
Jafar stops him and uses the lamp to make his final wish: To turn himself into an all-powerful genie. Aladdin grabs Jafar's lamp and genie sends Jafar and Iago to the Cave of Wonders. Genie, wanting Aladdin to be happy, urges him to wish to become a prince so he can marry Jasmine.
For the most part, the ending is pretty much the same in both versions of Aladdin. The titular street rat manages to trick Jafar into turning himself into a Genie so he can then be trapped in a lamp. Rather than use his third wish for himself, Aladdin chooses to free the Genie.

However, Aladdin convinces Jasmine that he truly is a prince who, much like her, only occasionally disguises himself as a commoner. Jasmine and the Sultan are finally freed, and she and Aladdin become engaged after the Sultan abolishes the law so that Jasmine can legally marry whomever she chooses.
