Swift (iOS 8 SDK) Convert Unmanaged to ABMultiValueRef

Question

I need to convert the return value of this function from the AddressBook framework:

ABRecordCopyValue(nil, kABPersonPhoneProperty)

to a val

Answer 1

In case someone is looking for a final way to deal with ABRecords in Swift 2, here it is:

func peoplePickerNavigationController(peoplePicker: ABPeoplePickerNavigationController, didSelectPerson person: ABRecord) {

    let firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty).takeRetainedValue()
    let lastName = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty).takeRetainedValue()

    var emails:[String] = []
    let emailRecords = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty).takeRetainedValue() as ABMultiValueRef
    let emailsCount = ABMultiValueGetCount(emailRecords)
    for index in 0 ..< emailsCount {
        if let email = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emailRecords, index).takeRetainedValue() as? String {
            emails.append(email)
        }
    }

    print("Contact selected. firstName: \(firstName), lastName: \(lastName), emails: \(emails)")

}
