I've written the following code for getting a user's contacts with CNContact module in iOS9. What would the equivalent code be for iOS8, as I realize that the Contact module is a new addition for iOS9
CNAuthorizationStatus status = [CNContactStore authorizationStatusForEntityType:CNEntityTypeContacts];
if (status == CNAuthorizationStatusDenied || status == CNAuthorizationStatusDenied) {
UIAlertController *alert = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:nil message:@"This app previously was refused permissions to contacts; Please go to settings and grant permission to this app so it can use contacts" preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
[alert addAction:[UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"OK" style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:nil]];
[self presentViewController:alert animated:TRUE completion:nil];
return;
}
CNContactStore *store = [[CNContactStore alloc] init];
[store requestAccessForEntityType:CNEntityTypeContacts completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
// make sure the user granted us access
if (!granted) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
});
return;
}
// build array of contacts
NSMutableArray *contacts = [NSMutableArray array];
NSError *fetchError;
CNContactFetchRequest *request = [[CNContactFetchRequest alloc] initWithKeysToFetch:@[CNContactIdentifierKey, CNContactPhoneNumbersKey, [CNContactFormatter descriptorForRequiredKeysForStyle:CNContactFormatterStyleFullName]]];
BOOL success = [store enumerateContactsWithFetchRequest:request error:&fetchError usingBlock:^(CNContact *contact, BOOL *stop) {
[contacts addObject:contact];
}];
if (!success) {
NSLog(@"error = %@", fetchError);
}
//save array of fetched contacts
self.contacts = contacts;
}];
Thank you!
