ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, (__bridge CFTypeRef)phoneNum, nil); ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty, (__bridge CFTypeRef)eMailId, nil); Commenting these two lines

ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, (__bridge CFTypeRef)phoneNum, nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty, (__bridge CFTypeRef)eMailId, nil);

Commenting these two lines gives proper output (Saving the entry to AdressBook, without email and phone entry).
But, while in execution it fails and crashes the program.

Value for the Vars are:

phoneNum : 000-000-0000

eMailId : AbcdefghIjklm@qwertyuiopasdfghjk.com

Error type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Any Idea?
Or need any more info??

    It would be good to see where and of what type you define the vars. You may have also released the address book before those lines. (e.g. CFRelease(multiPhone);)
    And as far as I know, phoneNum and emailID should be ABMutableMultiValueRef. At least that was how I did it:

    Adding a single phone number

    ABMutableMultiValueRef multiPhone = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);

ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, [self.contact telephone], kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel, NULL);            
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, multiPhone,nil);

    Adding e-mail:

        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiEmail = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);
    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiEmail, @"abc@abc.com", kABWorkLabel, NULL);
    ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty, multiEmail, &error);
    CFRelease(multiEmail);

    Hope this helps.
