addressbook

This code worked OK on iOS 5.1 and also does work in the iPhone simulator with iOS 6. It fails silently on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6. The end result is that I cannot add a person to the Contacts app. Neither of the following code snippets work (log follows each): ABRecordRef defaultSource = ABAddressBookCopyDefaultSource(_addressBook); NSLog(@"2 - defaultSource = %@", defaultSource); AB: Could not compile statement for query (ABCCopyArrayOfAllInstancesOfClassInSourceMatchingProperties): SELECT ROWID, Name, ExternalIdentifier, Type, ConstraintsPath, ExternalModificationTag, ExternalSyncTag,

The AddressBook framework provides ABPersonCopyImageData for getting the contact image for each address book entry. This is great for the image data, but the user also sizes and crops the image for framing purposes. When I get the image data, I get the full image, and not the cropped image. How do I get the frame the user used to crop the image (or in lieu of that, how do I get access to the cropped image/data)? Sceeter iOS 4.1 adds a new method: ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat in ABPerson . I'm using it like this: NSData *imageData = [(NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat(recordRef,

So I'm stumped on this one. In Mac OS X there is an easy way to get the "Me" card (the owner of the Mac/account) from the built-in address book API. Has anyone found a way to find out which contact (if it exists) belongs to the owner of the iPhone? You could use the undocumented user default: [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"SBFormattedPhoneNumber"]; and then search the address book for the card with that phone number. Keep in mind that since the User Default is undocumented, Apple could change at any time and you may have trouble getting into the App Store. Another

I have added the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController into my first view controller. I want that when I select a contact show the info to show in other view controller, but I'm trying use my code and this not show never when I click in a contact. This only open the contact into native app ABPeoplePickerNavigationController . var people = ABPeoplePickerNavigationController() var addressBook: ABAddressBookRef? func extractABAddressBookRef(abRef: Unmanaged<ABAddressBookRef>!) -> ABAddressBookRef? { if let ab = abRef { self.view.addSubview(people.view) return Unmanaged<NSObject>.fromOpaque(ab

I am designing a QR code reader, and it needs to detect and import contact cards in vCard format (.vcf). is there a way to add the card data to the system Address Book directly, or do I need to parse the vCard myself and add each field individually? Carter Allen If you're running on iOS 5 or later, this code should do the trick: #import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h> // This gets the vCard data from a file in the app bundle called vCard.vcf //NSURL *vCardURL = [[NSBundle bundleForClass:self.class] URLForResource:@"vCard" withExtension:@"vcf"]; //CFDataRef vCardData = (CFDataRef)[NSData

I don't understand why my code doesn't compile with Swift. I am trying to convert this Objective-C code: CFErrorRef error = NULL; ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, &error); if (addressBook != nil) { NSLog(@"Succesful."); NSArray *allContacts = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook); } This is my current rendition in Swift: var error:CFErrorRef var addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(nil, nil); if (addressBook != nil) { println("Succesful."); var allContacts:CFArrayRef = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook

I am developing an app that connects to another iphone using bonjour. One of its features is when I connect to the other device it will automatically check if I have the other persons phone number. So my problem is how do I check my address book for the phone number provided by the other device? Here's an example extracted from one of my address book methods. I wasn't searching by phone number but this gives you an idea have how to move forward with what you need: - (void) scanAddressBookSample { NSUInteger i; NSUInteger k; ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); NSArray *people
