This is great, but if i have 2 work or hone email addresses which one does it get???

The first one it finds in the Multi Valued property dictionary for kABPhoneProperty. The code right now assumes one value per label.

Hm, but doesn't make that the extension unusable? Since the AB store allows for multiple values and doesn't assign a priority, it seems pretty useless because the user cannot know what is going to get selected?


kABPhoneProperty is an MV property that is keyed for specific phone types. The problem you are outlining would only arise if there are multiple Home, Work, etc. phones for a user. So far, none of my customers have had an issue with this and I feel safe that this is an OK assumption for this helper framework to make. If there is ever a problem I would definitely have to revisit this assumption.

For what it is worth, it would not work for me, as roughly half of my AB entries have multiple work, home, or mobile numbers. Since I am not one of your customers, this is still not an issue for you, but it means I would not use your framework.
