NSNumber is an object, not an integer.

To insert an NSNumber object into a format string (such as for NSLog), you should use %@ (not %d).

NSNumber *recordId = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:ABRecordGetRecordID(person)];
NSLog(@"record id is %@",recordId);

Similarly, if you have the recordID in an NSNumber object, you can get the integer value using integerValue:

ABRecordRef person = ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID(ab,recordId.integerValue);
