    You have to check whether person has contact number in list or not..
    Try to use below modified code

    wantedname=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    

    wantednumber=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
    NSArray *thePeople = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);

    NSString *name;

    for (id person in thePeople)

    {

    name = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
    NSLog(@"!!!!!! name ---> %@",name);
    ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
    
    int count1=ABMultiValueGetCount(multi);
    NSLog(@"%d",count1);
    
    if (count1!=0) 
    {
          NSString *beforenumber = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);
          NSLog(@" contacts:%@",beforenumber );
          NSString* removed1=[beforenumber stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"-"withString:@""];
          NSString* removed2=[removed1 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@")"withString:@""];
          NSString* removed3=[removed2 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" "withString:@""];
          NSString* removed4=[removed3 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"("withString:@""];
          NSString* removed5=[removed4 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"+"withString:@""];
    }
    

    }

    importcontacts *phonecontacts = [[importcontacts alloc] init];
    phonecontacts.names = wantedname;
    phonecontacts.phonenumbers = wantednumber;
