Question

How do you get a person’s image from an iPhone address book?

Answer 1

You can do it like this….

NSData  *imgData = (NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageData(person);

UIImage  *img = [UIImage imageWithData:imgData];

where person is of type ABRecordRef. Now, as CFData and NSData are toll-free bridged, you can simply type cast CFData to NSData and get the image

Hope this helps.
