ps = ABPerson.alloc.initWithVCardRepresentation(data) # MacRuby syntax ;-)

the generated person is added automatically to the AdressBook database, in opposite to:

	ps = ABPerson.alloc.init  # not added
	ABAddressBook.sharedAddressBook.addRecord(ps) # now it is added

My question is: How can I call initWithVCardRepresentation without adding the person to the database?

P.S.: I'm not sure, but I think that this is a new behavior in 10.6, I cannot remember this issue in 10.5..._______________________________________________

Yes we ran into this issue as well, it's pretty nasty. Here is my workaround (works on 10.3-10.6):


ABPerson *p = [[ABPerson alloc] initWithVCardRepresentation:vcard];

ABAddressBook *ab = [ABAddressBook sharedAddressBook];
NSString *recordID = [p uniqueId];
if (recordID && [ab recordForUniqueId:recordID])
{
	[ab removeRecord:p];
}

// do stuff with p

[p release];

Hope this helps.
