Save New Contacts<\/h2>\nContacts Framework:<\/h3>\n
Here I have created an object of model class ContactDetail<\/strong> which holds the detail of new contact like first name, last name, contact number, email etc.<\/p>\n contactInfo = ContactDetail(firstName: textFieldFirstName.text, lastName: textFieldLastName.text, PhnNo: textFieldPhoneNumber.text, street: textFieldStreet.text, city: textFieldCity.text, state: textFieldState.text, zipCode: textFieldZipCode.text, homeEmail: textFieldHomeEmail.text, workEmail: textFieldWorkEmail.text)<\/pre>\nThe below function is for creating the new contact. \u00a0First you have \u00a0to create a CNMutableContact<\/strong> object and assign the givenName, familyName etc which you want to save.\u00a0\u00a0For contact properties that can have multiple values, such as phone numbers or email addresses, an array of CNLabeledValue<\/strong>\u00a0objects is used. \u00a0Here CNPhoneNumber<\/strong> class \u00a0returns a new phone number object initialized with the specified phone number string.<\/p>\n func createContact() {\r\n let contact = CNMutableContact()\r\n contact.givenName = contactInfo.firstName\r\n contact.familyName = contactInfo.lastName\r\n contact.phoneNumbers = [CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelPhoneNumberiPhone, value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: contactInfo.PhnNo))]\r\n \r\n let homeAddress = CNMutablePostalAddress()\r\n homeAddress.street = contactInfo.street\r\n homeAddress.city = contactInfo.city\r\n homeAddress.state = contactInfo.state\r\n homeAddress.postalCode = contactInfo.zipCode\r\n contact.postalAddresses = [CNLabeledValue(label:CNLabelHome, value:homeAddress)]\r\n \r\n let homeEmail = CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelHome, value: (contactInfo.homeEmail) as NSString!)\r\n let workEmail = CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelWork, value: (contactInfo.workEmail) as NSString!)\r\n contact.emailAddresses = [homeEmail, workEmail]\r\n \r\n \/\/ Saving the newly created contact\r\n saveContact(contact: contact) { [weak self] result in\r\n if result {\r\n \/\/ show success alert\r\n let contactDetailVC = CNContactViewController(for: contact)\r\n contactDetailVC.contactStore = CNContactStore()\r\n contactDetailVC.title = \"Contact Info\"\r\n self?.navigationController?.pushViewController(contactDetailVC, animated: true)\r\n } else {\r\n \/\/ show something went wrong\r\n }\r\n } \r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nNote:<\/strong> Here CNContactViewController(for: contact) <\/strong>is used to show saved contact . This class \u00a0 is of ContactsUI Framework. So you have to import ContactsUI framework. \u00a0The CNContactViewController \u00a0class implements the view to display a contact. CNContactViewController can display a new contact, unknown contact, or existing contact.<\/em><\/p>\nimport ContactsUI<\/pre>\n <\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> To proceed any operation on contact l<\/strong>ike save, fetch, update or delete<\/strong>, \u00a0first you have to\u00a0<\/span>check permission<\/strong>\u00a0by using <\/span>checkPermission() <\/strong>method (discussed above). if access to contact is allowed then the process will proceed further otherwise catch block will execute and an alert will show to allow access contact (<\/span>showPermissionAlert() discussed above<\/strong>).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nTo save contact create\u00a0CNSaveRequest\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0object and call its \u00a0addContact(_:toContainerWithIdentifier:) \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>method to tell the Contacts framework that you want to create a new contact.

The call to\u00a0ABPersonCreate()<\/code><\/strong>\u00a0creates a reference to a new Address Book record. Once you have that, you can call\u00a0ABRecordSetValue()<\/code><\/strong>\u00a0and pass it the record, the field to change, and the value.\u00a0Since one contact can have multiple phone numbers (home, mobile, etc.) and emails, you have to use\u00a0ABMutableMultiValue \u00a0<\/strong>reference, which supports multiple values. \u00a0ABMultiValueAndLabel\u00a0<\/strong>adds a value and its corresponding label to a multivalue property (ie phoneNumbers).\u00a0<\/span>The label\u00a0kABPersonPhoneMainLabel<\/code><\/strong>\u00a0says that this is the contact\u2019s primary number. You can add another label as your requirements. The same step will be follow to create email.\u00a0ABAddressBookAddRecord() \u00a0adds a record to addressBookRef.<\/p>\nprivate func createContact() {\r\n let addressBookRef: ABAddressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions().takeRetainedValue() \r\n let contactDetail: ABRecord = ABPersonCreate().takeRetainedValue()\r\n ABRecordSetValue(contactDetail, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, contactInfo?.firstName as CFTypeRef!, nil) \r\n ABRecordSetValue(contactDetail, kABPersonLastNameProperty, contactInfo?.lastName as CFTypeRef!, nil)\r\n\r\n let phoneNumbers: ABMutableMultiValue = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(ABPropertyType(kABMultiStringPropertyType)).takeRetainedValue()\r\n ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(phoneNumbers, contactInfo?.PhnNo as CFTypeRef!, kABPersonPhoneMainLabel, nil)\r\n ABRecordSetValue(contactDetail, kABPersonPhoneProperty, phoneNumbers, nil) \r\n\r\n let homeEmail:ABMutableMultiValue = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(ABPropertyType(kABMultiStringPropertyType)).takeRetainedValue()\r\n ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(homeEmail, contactInfo.homeEmail as CFTypeRef! , kABHomeLabel , nil)\r\n ABRecordSetValue(contactDetail, kABPersonEmailProperty, homeEmail , nil)\r\n \r\n let workEmail:ABMutableMultiValue = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(ABPropertyType(kABMultiStringPropertyType)).takeRetainedValue()\r\n ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(workEmail, contactInfo.homeEmail as CFTypeRef! , kABWorkLabel , nil)\r\n ABRecordSetValue(contactDetail, kABPersonEmailProperty, workEmail , nil)\r\n \r\n ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBookRef, contactDetail, nil)\r\n saveContact(addressBookRef: addressBookRef, contact: contactDetail)\r\n}<\/pre>\nNow contact is only added to reference of Address Book. It is not saved in Address Book database. To save in Address Book implement saveContact(). \u00a0ABAddressBookHasUnsavedChanges() <\/strong>indicates whether an address book has changes that have not been saved to the Address Book database. \u00a0ABAddressBookSave()\u00a0<\/strong>save the changes in Address Book.<\/span><\/p>\nfunc saveContact(addressBookRef: ABAddressBook, contact: ABRecord) {\r\n if ABAddressBookHasUnsavedChanges(addressBookRef){\r\n let savedToAddressBook = ABAddressBookSave(addressBookRef, nil)\r\n\r\n if savedToAddressBook { \r\n let alertView = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: \"Contact saved Successfuly.\", preferredStyle: .alert)\r\n alertView.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: \"OK\", style: .default, handler: { _ in\r\n let personViewController = ABPersonViewController()\r\n personViewController.displayedPerson = contact\r\n self.navigationController?.pushViewController(personViewController, animated: true)\r\n }))\r\n \r\n present(alertView, animated: true, completion: nil)\r\n \r\n } else {\r\n print(\"Couldn't save changes.\")\r\n }\r\n } else {\r\n print(\"No changes occurred.\")\r\n }\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nNote:\u00a0<\/strong>Here personViewcontroller is used to display saved contact which is the part of \u00a0AddressBookUI.

As discussed earlier you can fetch contacts using the contact CNContactStore()<\/strong>, which represents the user’s contacts database. You can add some predicate(any string or character) to fetch contacts. CNContact<\/strong>\u00a0provides predicates for filtering the contacts you want to fetch .<\/p>\nYou can use keysToFetch<\/strong>\u00a0to limit the contact properties that are fetched. For example<\/strong> if you want to fetch only name , phone number and email address then pass these \u00a0key in keyToFetch.<\/p>\nThe Contacts framework can also perform operations on the fetched contacts, such as formatting contact names. Here in code there is a key \u00a0CNContactFormatter.descriptorForRequiredKeys(for: .fullName)\u00a0<\/strong>in keyToFetch array. This will format the name of contact. For example if fetched contact givenName = “Jhon”<\/strong> and\u00a0family<\/strong>Name = “Rich”<\/strong> then CNContactFormatter format\u00a0the fullName = “Jhon Rich”.<\/strong><\/p>\nunifiedContactsMatchingPredicate(_:keysToFetch:) <\/strong>method of CNContactStore unified the result. That is if a user has multiple contacts that relate to the same person, they can link these together in the Contacts app. When your app tries to access this user’s contacts, rather than returning multiple\u00a0CNContact<\/code>\u00a0instances, the Contacts framework\u00a0unifies\u00a0<\/strong>these together into one object so your app can display information correctly and interpret it easily.<\/p>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\nfunc fetchContactFromAddressBook() -> [ABRecord] {\r\n var result = [ABRecord]()\r\n var index = 0\r\n let addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreate().takeRetainedValue()\r\n let allContacts = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBookRef).takeRetainedValue() as Array\r\n \r\n for record in allContacts {\r\n let currentContact: ABRecord = record\r\n let currentContactName = ABRecordCopyCompositeName(currentContact).takeRetainedValue() as String\r\n if currentContactName.contains(textFieldName.text!) {\r\n result.append(currentContact)\r\n index += 1\r\n }\r\n }\r\n return result\r\n}<\/pre>\nIn AddressBook framework \u00a0you can fetch contact by reference of AddressBook .As discussed earlier \u00a0ABAddressBookCreate give the reference ok AddressBook. Tp fetch all record yo can call \u00a0ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople() <\/strong>method.\u00a0<\/strong>In AddressBook framework there is no any method to apply predicate . so you have to write the code to compare to find particular result.<\/p>\nDelete Contact<\/h2>\nContacts Framework:<\/h3>\n func deleteContact() { \r\n do {\r\n try checkPermissions() \r\n let store = CNContactStore()\r\n let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest()\r\n saveRequest.delete(newContact)\r\n do {\r\n try store.execute(saveRequest)\r\n \r\n } catch {\r\n print(error)\r\n }\r\n } catch {\r\n showPermissionAlert()\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nNote:<\/strong> In contacts Framework there is delete(_<\/span> contact:<\/span>) method to delete contact. the contact fetched is of CNContact<\/strong> type . So you have to convert it into CNMutableContact<\/strong> then pass in delete() method.<\/em><\/p>\nlet newContact = contactDetail?.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableContact<\/pre>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\nprivate func deleteContact() {\r\n let isRemove = ABAddressBookRemoveRecord(addressBookRef, currentContact, nil)\r\n print(isRemove)\r\n let isSaved = ABAddressBookSave(addressBookRef, nil)\r\n if isSaved {\r\n let alertView = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: \"Contact deleted Successfully.\", preferredStyle: .alert) \r\n alertView.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: \"OK\", style: .default, handler: nil))\r\n present(alertView, animated: true, completion: nil) \r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nIn AddressBook Framework call \u00a0ABAddressBookRemoveRecord(<\/span>_<\/span> addressBook: <\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> record: <\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> error:)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>will delete record from addressbookRef but not from the AddressBook database. So after remove call the\u00a0<\/span>ABAddressBookSave(<\/span>_<\/span> addressBook:<\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> error: <\/span>) method to reflect changes in database.<\/span><\/p>\nUpdate Contact<\/h2>\nContacts Framework:<\/h3>\n func updateContact() {\r\n do {\r\n try checkPermissions()\r\n let store = CNContactStore()\r\n let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest()\r\n \r\n saveRequest.update(newContact)\r\n do {\r\n try store.execute(saveRequest)\r\n \r\n } catch {\r\n print(error)\r\n }\r\n\r\n } catch {\r\n showPermissionAlert()\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nSimilar to delete there is update(_<\/span> contact:<\/span>) \u00a0method in contact Framework to update existing contact.<\/p>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\n
To update contact in AddressBook you can use the method ABAddressBookHasUnsavedChanges() of ABAddressBook. If it returns true then call save method to save changes.\u00a0(Similar to Add new contact).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Note:<\/strong> To proceed any operation on contact l<\/strong>ike save, fetch, update or delete<\/strong>, \u00a0first you have to\u00a0<\/span>check permission<\/strong>\u00a0by using <\/span>checkPermission() <\/strong>method (discussed above). if access to contact is allowed then the process will proceed further otherwise catch block will execute and an alert will show to allow access contact (<\/span>showPermissionAlert() discussed above<\/strong>).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nTo save contact create\u00a0CNSaveRequest\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0object and call its \u00a0addContact(_:toContainerWithIdentifier:) \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>method to tell the Contacts framework that you want to create a new contact.

func searchContacts(withName: String, keysToFetch: [CNKeyDescriptor]) -> [CNContact] {\r\n \r\n var results: [CNContact] = []\r\n do {\r\n try checkPermissions()\r\n \r\n \/\/ Fetch data using some predicate\r\n let predicate: NSPredicate = CNContact.predicateForContacts(matchingName: withName)\r\n \r\n \/\/ if you want to fetch only some record of a contact.\r\n \/\/ Then define key to fetch\r\n let keys = keysToFetch\r\n \r\n do { \r\n \/\/ Fetches all unified contacts matching the specified predicate\r\n let containerResults = try contactStore.unifiedContacts(matching: predicate, keysToFetch: keys)\r\n results.append(contentsOf: containerResults)\r\n \r\n } catch {\r\n print(error.localizedDescription)\r\n }\r\n } catch {\r\n showPermissionAlert()\r\n }\r\n return results\r\n}<\/pre>\n <\/p>\n
As discussed earlier you can fetch contacts using the contact CNContactStore()<\/strong>, which represents the user’s contacts database. You can add some predicate(any string or character) to fetch contacts. CNContact<\/strong>\u00a0provides predicates for filtering the contacts you want to fetch .<\/p>\nYou can use keysToFetch<\/strong>\u00a0to limit the contact properties that are fetched. For example<\/strong> if you want to fetch only name , phone number and email address then pass these \u00a0key in keyToFetch.<\/p>\nThe Contacts framework can also perform operations on the fetched contacts, such as formatting contact names. Here in code there is a key \u00a0CNContactFormatter.descriptorForRequiredKeys(for: .fullName)\u00a0<\/strong>in keyToFetch array. This will format the name of contact. For example if fetched contact givenName = “Jhon”<\/strong> and\u00a0family<\/strong>Name = “Rich”<\/strong> then CNContactFormatter format\u00a0the fullName = “Jhon Rich”.<\/strong><\/p>\nunifiedContactsMatchingPredicate(_:keysToFetch:) <\/strong>method of CNContactStore unified the result. That is if a user has multiple contacts that relate to the same person, they can link these together in the Contacts app. When your app tries to access this user’s contacts, rather than returning multiple\u00a0CNContact<\/code>\u00a0instances, the Contacts framework\u00a0unifies\u00a0<\/strong>these together into one object so your app can display information correctly and interpret it easily.<\/p>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\nfunc fetchContactFromAddressBook() -> [ABRecord] {\r\n var result = [ABRecord]()\r\n var index = 0\r\n let addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreate().takeRetainedValue()\r\n let allContacts = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBookRef).takeRetainedValue() as Array\r\n \r\n for record in allContacts {\r\n let currentContact: ABRecord = record\r\n let currentContactName = ABRecordCopyCompositeName(currentContact).takeRetainedValue() as String\r\n if currentContactName.contains(textFieldName.text!) {\r\n result.append(currentContact)\r\n index += 1\r\n }\r\n }\r\n return result\r\n}<\/pre>\nIn AddressBook framework \u00a0you can fetch contact by reference of AddressBook .As discussed earlier \u00a0ABAddressBookCreate give the reference ok AddressBook. Tp fetch all record yo can call \u00a0ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople() <\/strong>method.\u00a0<\/strong>In AddressBook framework there is no any method to apply predicate . so you have to write the code to compare to find particular result.<\/p>\nDelete Contact<\/h2>\nContacts Framework:<\/h3>\n func deleteContact() { \r\n do {\r\n try checkPermissions() \r\n let store = CNContactStore()\r\n let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest()\r\n saveRequest.delete(newContact)\r\n do {\r\n try store.execute(saveRequest)\r\n \r\n } catch {\r\n print(error)\r\n }\r\n } catch {\r\n showPermissionAlert()\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nNote:<\/strong> In contacts Framework there is delete(_<\/span> contact:<\/span>) method to delete contact. the contact fetched is of CNContact<\/strong> type . So you have to convert it into CNMutableContact<\/strong> then pass in delete() method.<\/em><\/p>\nlet newContact = contactDetail?.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableContact<\/pre>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\nprivate func deleteContact() {\r\n let isRemove = ABAddressBookRemoveRecord(addressBookRef, currentContact, nil)\r\n print(isRemove)\r\n let isSaved = ABAddressBookSave(addressBookRef, nil)\r\n if isSaved {\r\n let alertView = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: \"Contact deleted Successfully.\", preferredStyle: .alert) \r\n alertView.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: \"OK\", style: .default, handler: nil))\r\n present(alertView, animated: true, completion: nil) \r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nIn AddressBook Framework call \u00a0ABAddressBookRemoveRecord(<\/span>_<\/span> addressBook: <\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> record: <\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> error:)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>will delete record from addressbookRef but not from the AddressBook database. So after remove call the\u00a0<\/span>ABAddressBookSave(<\/span>_<\/span> addressBook:<\/span>, <\/span>_<\/span> error: <\/span>) method to reflect changes in database.<\/span><\/p>\nUpdate Contact<\/h2>\nContacts Framework:<\/h3>\n func updateContact() {\r\n do {\r\n try checkPermissions()\r\n let store = CNContactStore()\r\n let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest()\r\n \r\n saveRequest.update(newContact)\r\n do {\r\n try store.execute(saveRequest)\r\n \r\n } catch {\r\n print(error)\r\n }\r\n\r\n } catch {\r\n showPermissionAlert()\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nSimilar to delete there is update(_<\/span> contact:<\/span>) \u00a0method in contact Framework to update existing contact.<\/p>\nAddressBook Framework:<\/h3>\n
To update contact in AddressBook you can use the method ABAddressBookHasUnsavedChanges() of ABAddressBook. If it returns true then call save method to save changes.\u00a0(Similar to Add new contact).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
