Class

ABPerson

The ABPerson class encapsulates all information about a person in the Address Book database—an instance of ABPerson corresponds to a single person record in the database. The ABPerson class defines properties such as the person’s name, company, address, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Overview

The ABPerson class is “toll-free bridged” with its procedural C opaque-type counterpart. This means that the ABPersonRef type is interchangeable in function or method calls with instances of the ABPerson class.
