copied!<p>The <code>ABPersonCreatePeopleInSourceWithVCardRepresentation</code> docs state that <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AddressBook/Reference/ABPersonRef_iPhoneOS/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/ABPersonCreatePeopleInSourceWithVCardRepresentation">vCard version 3 is the supported protocol</a>. Unfortunately if you're having troubles with a standard vCard I'm not sure how to help - I did a fair bit of searching (that bounty is good motivation :P) and wasn't able to find any further information.</p> <p>I don't have my iPhone on me to test, but <a href="http://learnyii.blogspot.com/2011/04/vcard-qr-code-iphone-android-blackberry.html">this guy</a> claims to have successfully imported the following, v2.1 vCard on an iPhone 4 using a QR scanner app (which <em>might</em> be using the API in question). <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard#Properties">The 3.0 spec is a superset of the 2.1 spec</a> - can you try this vCard and let me know if it works?</p> <pre><code>BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:;Company Name FN:Company Name ORG:Company Name TEL;WORK;VOICE;PREF:+16045551212 TEL;WORK;FAX:+16045551213 ADR;WORK;POSTAL;PARCEL;DOM;PREF:;;123 main street;vancouver;bc;v0v0v0;canada EMAIL;INTERNET;PREF:user@example.com URL;WORK;PREF:http://www.example.com/ NOTE:http://www.example.com/ CATEGORIES:BUSINESS,WORK UID:A64440FC-6545-11E0-B7A1-3214E0D72085 REV:20110412165200 END:VCARD </code></pre> <p>You can read the official 3.0 spec <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2425">here</a> and <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2426">here</a>.</p> <p>As a last ditch solution, there are <a href="https://github.com/search?q=.vcf&p=1&ref=searchbar&type=Repositories&l=Objective-C">plenty of vCard parsers out there</a> - it's a dead simple protocol. You could just take any of these (or write one yourself) and manually add the contact to the Address Book using <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AddressBook/Reference/ABPersonRef_iPhoneOS/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/ABPersonCreatePeopleInSourceWithVCardRepresentation">ABPersonCreatePeopleInSourceWithVCardRepresentation</a>.</p>
