Question

im building an app which grabs all the contacts from iPhone book and filter it my names having only emails. i use the following function for that (filtering with names having email address)

- (long)personRecord:(ABRecordRef)paramPerson{

    if(paramPerson == nil){

        NSLog(@"The given Person is Null");
    }

    ABMutableMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(paramPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty);
    if(emails == nil){

        return 0;
    }

    NSLog(@"%ld",ABMultiValueGetCount(emails));
    // return (ABMultiValueGetCount(emails));

    return (ABMultiValueGetCount(emails));
}

When analysed I’m geting potential leak

how can i resolve this Leak ….????

Answer 1

You are getting a copy of that object from ABRecordRef. So you need to release it.

Change your method like;

- (long)personRecord:(ABRecordRef)paramPerson
  {

    if(paramPerson == nil)
    {

        NSLog(@"The given Person is Null");
    }

    ABMutableMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(paramPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty);
    if(emails == nil)
    {

        return 0;
    }

    NSLog(@"%ld",ABMultiValueGetCount(emails));
    // return (ABMultiValueGetCount(emails));

    long count = ABMultiValueGetCount(emails);
     CFRelease(emails);
     return count;
}
