The problem here is the use of indexForIndentifier. The identifiers in an ABMultiValue are unique keys, they are not mappable to a lable like kABPhoneMainLabel (i.e., you could have multiple Main phone numbers for someone). If you specifically want to get the phone number with a Main label, you'll have to iterate through the values checking labelAtIndex. If you just want the primary phone number, you can ask for [myValues valueAtIndex:[myValues indexForIdentifier:[myValues primaryIdentifier]]] ... not the most intuitive approach, but it works.

I have been working on adding Address Book support (10.2) to my app and
everything is going great, except for one thing. I have been reading about
this whole ABMultiValue thing, and thought I had gotten it. But when I try
and use the following code:

ABMultiValue *myValues;
int myIndex;

myValues = [[peopleFound objectAtIndex:0]
valueForProperty:kABPhoneProperty];
myIndex = [myValues indexForIdentifier:kABPhoneMainLabel];
string = [myValues valueAtIndex: myIndex];

I get an error that:

-[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (2147483647) beyond bounds (2)

So when I am supposed to supply an identifier, is it not supposed to be one
from ABGlobals.h? I know there is a value in the address book for
kABPhoneMainLabel, and another in the phone tree (the fax number) so I think
something should be returned.

I have read through the manual (page) on this, and from my understanding
this should work, right?

Thanks,
Ben
