I'm confused. I thought that AddressBook has been replaced by Contacts. This documentation doesn't say so: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/addressbook#//apple_ref/c/func/ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel

Depends on the version OS you intend to support...from that link:


Important

To work with the user’s contact information in apps that target macOS 10.11 and later, it’s recommended that you use the APIs defined in the Contacts and ContactsUI frameworks. To learn more about these frameworks, see Contacts, ContactsUI.


But since you're in the cocoa touch forum, hinting at iOS...


Note that addressBook began w/iOS 2 - hitting the contacts API link shows support at iOS 9 and up.
