APAddressBook is an Objective-C wrapper around Apple's AddressBook.framework that simplifies reading contacts from the iOS address book. It supports asynchronous loading, field selection, filtering, sorting, and retrieving contact photos.
Use cases
- load contacts from ios address book asynchronously
- read only name and phone number fields from contacts
- filter contacts that have an email address
- sort address book contacts with sort descriptors
- get contact thumbnail photos in an ios app
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app that still uses the deprecated AddressBook.framework
- you need simple asynchronous contact loading with field selection and filtering on iOS 9 or earlier
When to avoid
- you are starting a new iOS project - use the modern Contacts framework (CNContactStore) instead
- you need support for iOS 10+ privacy requirements or ongoing maintenance - the library was last released in 2017
