POiOS 6 contacts access alert never showed on debug
text
Body
copied!<p>My app on the appstore is accessing the iPhone contacts, after the users downloaded it on iOS 6 it can't access the iPhone contacts while its working fine on iOS 5 the problem is the new privacy settings apple has put in iOS 6 .. so after searching i found out that i have to do the following in my code to be able to access the user contacts:</p> <pre><code> //in order to test addressbook availability we have to attempt to create an addressbook instance using ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions #if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 60000 // Request authorization to Address Book ABAddressBookRef addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL); if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) { ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) { if (granted) [self loadContacts]; }); } else if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) { // The user has previously given access, add the contact [self loadContact]; } else { } #endif //end iOS6+ //ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions not available or succeeded. return YES; [self loadContacts]; </code></pre> <p>My problem now is while debugging on the device, the alert is not showing, i don't know why ? I know that the above code should work fine, but only when the app is submitted to the appstore but i want to test that in debug mode before submission ? Any advice ?</p> <p>Appreciate your support. Thanks.</p>
