Question

Using the standard add record code I am getting a very strange error when setting properties other than FirstName and Organization (the first 2 lines work):

ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, location.title , nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonOrganizationProperty, location.title , nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, [location telephone], nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonAddressStreetKey, [location addressLine1], nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonAddressCityKey, [location addressTownCity], nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonAddressZIPKey, [location addressPostcode], nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonAddressStateKey, [location addressCounty], nil);

FYI it isnt the difference between location.title and [location addressLine1] as I have tried setting kABPersonAddressStreetKey to location.title with the same problem

Even with this code I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS

ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
ABRecordRef person = ABPersonCreate();
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, location.title , nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, @"0208 1567890", nil);
ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBook, person, nil);
ABAddressBookSave(addressBook, nil

Cause of the telephone line, I must be doing something stupid surely!?!?!?

Answer 1

Ah it seems it is cause the telephone and address fields are multi value, I hadnt realised this
