Question

What I want to do:

1. Present the user with all the contacts on his device that have an email address in the contact.
2. Allow the user to select/deselect any number of contacts before hitting “done”.
3. Return an array of the email addresses…or an array of dictionaries with all the contact info for the selected contacts.

What I have tried:

ABPeoplePicker but I am not able to get it to work with selecting multiple contacts.

Answer 1

You can return NO for this delegate method:

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker 
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
    NSString* name = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(person,
                      kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
    NSLog(@"Name %@", name);
    // Do stuff with the person record
    return NO;
}

This allows the user to select a number of people.
