Question

Being fairly new to objective-c and developing for ios I’m trying to figure out how to implement the addressbook code from Address Book Programming Guide for iOS.

I want to be able to log the address a user clicked on in the addressbook.

I managed to implement the addressbook in my app.

In ios4 the following ‘works’:

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker 
      shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person  
                                property:(ABPropertyID)property 
                              identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
    if (property == kABPersonAddressProperty)  // if tapped is equal to a phone property
    {
        NSLog(@"Address tapped!");
        NSMutableDictionary * cfaddress;
        ABMultiValueRef address = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressProperty); 
        for(CFIndex i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(address); i++) {
            if(identifier == ABMultiValueGetIdentifierAtIndex (address, i)) { //if tapped number identifier is the same as identifier number tapped
                cfaddress = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(address, i); // copy the number to CFSTRING number
            }
        }        

        NSLog(@"%@", [cfaddress objectForKey:@"City"]);    
        NSLog(@"%@", [cfaddress objectForKey:@"Street"]);

        // City and street present ?

        if([cfaddress objectForKey:@"City"] && [cfaddress objectForKey:@"Street"]){
            NSLog(@"STAD EN STRAAT");
        }
        else{
            NSLog(@"GEEN STAD EN/OF STRAAT");
        }
    }

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    return YES;
}

Unfortunately in ios5 with Automatic reference counting on this gives me the following error:

error: Automatic Reference Counting Issue: Implicit conversion of a non-Objective-C pointer type ‘CFTypeRef’ (aka ‘const void *’) to ‘NSMutableDictionary *’ is disallowed with ARC

I’m guessing my way of doing this (for ios4) wasn’t a good way anyway and I would really appreciate some suggestions on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

repalace this

cfaddress = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(address, i);

with this

cfaddress = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:(NSDictionary *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(address, i)];
