How to get a CNContact phone number(s) as string in Swift?

Question

I am attempting to retrieve the names and phone number(s) of all contacts and put them into arrays with Swift in iOS. I have made it this far:

Answer 1

In swift 3 you can get direclty

 if item.isKeyAvailable(CNContactPhoneNumbersKey){
        let phoneNOs=item.phoneNumbers
        let phNo:String
        for item in phoneNOs{
            print("Phone Nos \(item.value.stringValue)")
        }

Answer 2

you can get contact.phoneNumbers from CNLabeledValue:

for phoneNumber in contact.phoneNumbers {
  if let number = phoneNumber.value as? CNPhoneNumber,
      let label = phoneNumber.label {
      let localizedLabel = CNLabeledValue.localizedStringForLabel(label)
      print("\(localizedLabel)  \(number.stringValue)")
  }
}

Answer 3

The definition of a CNLabeledValue:

The CNLabeledValue class is a thread-safe class that defines an immutable value object that combines a contact property value with a label. For example, a contact phone number could have a label of Home, Work, iPhone, etc.

CNContact.phoneNumbers is an array of CNLabeledValues and each CNLabeledValue has a label and a value.

To print the phoneNumbers corresponding to a CNContact you can try:

for phoneNumber in contact.phoneNumbers {
    print("The \(phoneNumber.label) number of \(contact.givenName) is: \(phoneNumber.value)")
}

Answer 4

for Swift 5+

func removeSpecialCharactersFromContactNumberOfUser(_ contactNo : String) -> String? {

    let digits = CharacterSet(charactersIn: "0123456789").inverted
    let modifiedContactNo = contactNo.components(separatedBy: digits).joined(separator: "")

    if modifiedContactNo.count > 9 {

        return modifiedContactNo

    } else {

        return nil
    }
}

var number = phone.value.stringValue
number = number.starts(with: "+91") ? number.replacingOccurrences(of: "+91", with: "") : number

if let formattedNumber = removeSpecialCharactersFromContactNumberOfUser(number)  {
    //use this formattedNumber                 
}

This is to remove +91 from your phone number and it's working fine.

Answer 5

Here is how you do it in swift 4

func contactPicker(_ picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelect contactProperty: CNContactProperty) {

    if let phoneNo = contactProperty.value as? CNPhoneNumber{
        txtPhone.text = phoneNo.stringValue
    }else{
        txtPhone.text=""
    }
}

Answer 6

/* Get only first mobile number */

    let MobNumVar = (contact.phoneNumbers[0].value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as! String
    print(MobNumVar)

/* Get all mobile number */

    for ContctNumVar: CNLabeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers
    {
        let MobNumVar  = (ContctNumVar.value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as? String
        print(MobNumVar!)
    }

 /* Get mobile number with mobile country code */

    for ContctNumVar: CNLabeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers
    {
        let FulMobNumVar  = ContctNumVar.value as! CNPhoneNumber
        let MccNamVar = FulMobNumVar.valueForKey("countryCode") as? String
        let MobNumVar = FulMobNumVar.valueForKey("digits") as? String

        print(MccNamVar!)
        print(MobNumVar!)
    }
