How to give permission to access phone Addressbook in ios 10.0?

Question

This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app\'s Info.plist must contain an NSContactsUsageDesc

Answer 1

You have to add information list in your plist,

Here is information plist for various privacy.

Add Privacy that you want in you plist and check again.

and ADD this code in your file,

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    contactList=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    ABAddressBookRef m_addressbook = ABAddressBookCreate();

    if (!m_addressbook) {
        NSLog(@"opening address book");
    }

    CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(m_addressbook);
    CFIndex nPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(m_addressbook);

    for (int i=0;i < nPeople;i++) { 
        NSMutableDictionary *dOfPerson=[NSMutableDictionary dictionary];

        ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(allPeople,i);

        //For username and surname
        ABMultiValueRef phones =(NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
        CFStringRef firstName, lastName;
        firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
        lastName  = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
        [dOfPerson setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", firstName, lastName] forKey:@"name"];

        //For Email ids
        ABMutableMultiValueRef eMail  = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonEmailProperty);
        if(ABMultiValueGetCount(eMail) > 0) {
            [dOfPerson setObject:(NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(eMail, 0) forKey:@"email"];

        }

        //For Phone number
        NSString* mobileLabel;
        for(CFIndex i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(phones); i++) {
            mobileLabel = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, i);
            if([mobileLabel isEqualToString:(NSString *)kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel])
            {
                [dOfPerson setObject:(NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, i) forKey:@"Phone"];
            }
            else if ([mobileLabel isEqualToString:(NSString*)kABPersonPhoneIPhoneLabel])
            {
                [dOfPerson setObject:(NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, i) forKey:@"Phone"];
                break ;
            }

        [contactList addObject:dOfPerson];
        CFRelease(ref);
        CFRelease(firstName);
        CFRelease(lastName);
    }
    NSLog(@"array is %@",contactList);
    }
}
