Body
copied!<p>I have the following code that I'm trying to use to set the AIM and Skype properties of a new contact I'm adding to Address Book:</p> <pre><code>ABRecordRef record = ABPersonCreate(); CFErrorRef an_error = NULL; ABMutableMultiValueRef multi_aim = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType); ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multi_aim, @"ExampleNick", kABPersonInstantMessageServiceAIM, NULL); ABRecordSetValue(record, kABPersonInstantMessageProperty, multi_aim, &an_error); ABMutableMultiValueRef multi_skype = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType); ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multi_skype, @"example.nick", kABPersonInstantMessageServiceSkype, NULL); ABRecordSetValue(record, kABPersonInstantMessageProperty, multi_skype, &an_error); if (an_error != NULL) { NSLog(@"Error while creating person"); } CFErrorRef error = NULL; ABAddressBookRef address_book = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, &error); ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(address_book, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) { if (!granted) { UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Unable to access address book" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil]; [alert show]; } else { BOOL is_added = ABAddressBookAddRecord(address_book, record, &error); if (is_added) { NSLog(@"Address book entry added"); } else { NSLog(@"ERROR adding address book entry: %@", error); } error = NULL; BOOL is_saved = ABAddressBookSave(address_book, &error); if (is_saved) { NSLog(@"Saved address book"); } else { NSLog(@"ERROR saving address book: %@", error); } } CFRelease(record); CFRelease(multi_aim); CFRelease(multi_skype); CFRelease(address_book); }); </code></pre> <p>(I'm also adding first and last names but left that out of the example for brevity sake)</p> <p>When the record gets added everything but the AIM and Skype fields get populated. What am I doing wrong?</p>
