ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople and ABAddressBookGetPersonCount return different sizes

Question

I have an app which crashes occasionally due to the array returned by ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeopleInSourceWithSortOrdering() having a different size to ABAddressBookGet

Answer 1

ABAddressBookGetPersonCount And ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople gives different arrays.

ABAddressBookGetPersonCount - Returns the number of person records in an address book. ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople - Returns all the person records in an address book.

So some times same person may have extra records. That's why you may getting different sizes.
