    Try the NSWorkspace method:

    - (NSRunningApplication *)launchApplicationAtURL:(NSURL *)url options:(NSWorkspaceLaunchOptions)options configuration:(NSDictionary *)configuration error:(NSError **)error

    Also note you should use URLForApplicationWithBundleIdentifier: rather than a fixed path. This will work even if Address Book.app is moved in a future version of OS X, or the user moves it to a different folder.
