AddressBookCocoa

This sample demonstrates how to create, access, add, search, and retrieve records using Address Book's Objective-C APIs. It defines and implements the addContact and findContact methods to perform these tasks. The addContact method creates a person named Elba, sets the first and last name, address, and phone number information, and adds them to the Address Book. The findContact method looks for Elba in Address Book using ABPerson’s searchElementForProperty:label:key:value:comparison: API and fetches the first name, street address, and work fax number.
