I have an app that displays ABAddressBook contacts in a UITableView . Currently I'm reading the contacts into an NSDictionary , however this appears to crash for some users, which I suspect is a memory issue. Is there another approach to display ABAddressBook contacts in a UITableView without either first storing them in an NSDictionary or using ABPeoplePicker ? dks1725 You can use following way, ABAddressBookRef ab = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL); NSArray *arrTemp = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(ab); The above 2 lines will create an array for all your contacts on

I'm facing a (strange) problem: I'd like to retrieve the number of phone's numbers of a contact but, for some reason, I am not able to. I used ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); NSArray *contacts = (NSArray*) ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook); CFRelease(addressBook); to get the array of all the contacts. Then I would like to use ABMultiValueRef ref = ABRecordCopyValue([contacts objectAtIndex:i], kABPersonPhoneProperty); NSLog(@"%d",ref==NULL); but ABRecordCopyValue always returns nil ... Notice that I'm able to retrieve other informations about the contact: for

I have an app which crashes occasionally due to the array returned by ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeopleInSourceWithSortOrdering() having a different size to ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(). The shell of the code is shown below. Usually nPeople is the same size as the array. However, on one user's iPhone (or at least, as reported by one user), nPeople is almost twice as large. I can stop the crash by using the array size, rather than ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(). However, I am not sure if this means I am not accessing all of the Contacts in the iPhone. Has anyone come across this issue before?

Is it possible to grant access to the native address book (NAB) on iOS 7.0 Simulator programmatically? I am writing xctest Unit Tests that need write access to NAB. The unit tests are run on iOS 7.0 Simulator and are part of Continuous Integration process and doesn't involve any user interaction. Currently unless the user grants access explicitly via the “TestApp” Would like to Access Your Contacts alert, access to NAB is denied. In the spirit of sharing I am going to answer my own question. Among other permissions, Address Book access permission is stored in TCC.db database that is located in

I'm creating an application that will save a contact to the address book, but when I use ABAddressBookCreate to my code, it appear as a warning. I'm coding in iOS 7. My question is, what is the substitute for ABAddressBookCreate in iOS 7. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Use ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions() instead. ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL); More info on usage in the documentation here edit The AddressBook framework is deprecated in iOS 9 and replaced with the new and improved Contacts framework: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios

I wish to search in the iphone AddressBook through my app using the number as the key and then retrieve the image associated to that contact and display it on the UIImageView. I tried using ABAddressBook framework but was clueless to proceed. Can anyone please suggest me the solutions or any alternative path that I can follow. Any code snippet would also be of great help!! Any form of help would be highly appreciable. Thanks in advance The AB framework can be a real pain at times. But it breaks down to a series of pretty simple operations. First, you have to create an ABAddressBook instance:
