Hi,

Thank you to everyone who replied. It turns out that this was a retain issue -- I was passing the ABPerson into another method and I should have done a retain before passing. D'oh!! :)

It might be of interest to know, by the way, that the phone multivalue was the only one auto-released during the passing into the other method. The addresses and other fields remained intact. It just struck me as odd; I would have expected all or none of the multivalue fields to come through.

Terence

I have the following method that seems to work fine:

-(ABMultiValue *)phoneNumbers
{
return [self valueForProperty:kABPhoneProperty];
}

Note the use of ABMultiValue instead of ABMutableMultiValue. I don't know how Objective-C handles casting an object to the wrong type, perhaps it causes it to be nil? If you want to change it, do the following:

ABMutableMultiValue *updated;

updated = [[self phoneNumbers] mutableCopy];
... do changes ...
[self setValue:updated forProperty:kABPhoneProperty];
[[ABAddressBook sharedAddressBook] save];

Hopefully the colors didn't mess up the code, I've had some problems with ProjectBuilder colors when copying into email.

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with phone numbers & the AddressBook. Specifically, when
I try to retreive the phone numbers for a given person, I get no data,
regardless of the fact that the contact in question definitely has at least
one phone number.

Here's how I'm doing it... (where person is of type ABPerson *)

ABMutableMultiValue *phone;
//...
phone = [person valueForProperty:kABPhoneProperty];
//...

phone is always nil. :(

Has anyone else encountered this? Or is it just something really basic that
I've managed to overlook?

Thanks,

Terence
