IPhone SDK - How to serialize ABRecord?
I am writing an iPad app that uses the address book APIs to present the standard address book UI (ABNewPersonViewController) to enter contact info. I do not want these records to be stored in the standard address book but rather, in the app's database. Can I convert a ABRecordRef object directly to an NSData object and store it with core data? If so, how exactly would I do that? Thanks!!!
