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.
