Try this below code. I think I am getting what you are looking for.

    let con = CNContact()
    let vc = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: con)
    _ = self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

Its possible to open this screen directly with some pre populated fields. No need of any workarounds.

let contact = CNMutableContact()
let homePhone = CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelHome, value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue :"number goes here"))
contact.phoneNumbers = [homePhone]
contact.imageData = data // Set image data here
let vc = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: contact)
vc.delegate = self
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
self.present(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)

I get the error in `vc.delegate = self ` and the last line where it says `Use of unresolved identifier 'self'` — Novak, Nov 26 '18 at 14:19

Till iOS 10.3.1 there is no public api to open contacts screen directly to add new contact. You can use ContactsUI framework to open contacts within your application and then from that contact screen add new Contact.
