let keys = [CNContactGivenNameKey ,CNContactImageDataKey,CNContactPhoneNumbersKey]
        var message: String!
        //let request=CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: keys)
        let contactsStore = AppDelegate.AppDel.contactStore
        // Get all the containers
        var allContainers: [CNContainer] = []
        do {
            allContainers = try contactsStore.containers(matching: nil)
        } catch {
            print("Error fetching containers")
        }



        // Iterate all containers and append their contacts to our results array
        for container in allContainers {
            let fetchPredicate = CNContact.predicateForContactsInContainer(withIdentifier: container.identifier)

            do {
                let containerResults = try contactsStore.unifiedContacts(matching: fetchPredicate, keysToFetch: keys as [CNKeyDescriptor])
                self.results.append(contentsOf: containerResults)
                self.tableView.reloadData()
                message="\(self.results.count)"
            } catch {
                print("Error fetching results for container")
            }
        }
