Fetching all contacts in ios Swift?

Question

I am aware of the ios swift has a Contacts Framework where I can fetch contacts, but I cannot find any method to fetch all the contacts together where I can access each of t

Answer 1

A Swift 4.0 implementation to pull in all of the contacts.

let contactStore = CNContactStore()
var contacts = [CNContact]()
let keys = [CNContactFormatter.descriptorForRequiredKeys(for: .fullName)]
let request = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: keys)

do {
    try contactStore.enumerateContacts(with: request) { (contact, stop) in
        contacts.append(contact)
    }
} catch {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
}

This creates a local property to store the contacts, which are then populated via the enumeration against contactStore.
