# Address book entitlement

A Boolean value that indicates whether the app may have read-write access to contacts in the user’s address book.

## Discussion

To add this entitlement to your app, enable the App Sandbox capability in Xcode and then select Contacts, or enable the Hardened Runtime capability and then select Address Book.
