Given your email domain, and your use of the third person in your response below, this seems like a solution you could have easily provided when pointing out the flaw instead of going on the defensive.

Wow. That's all I'll say about that.

I think extending the interface of ABPerson like this is a great approach and a good demo of Obj-C's ability to do this. I'm sure this code will also help people new to the AddressBook framework (either by using it or just by looking at the source to understand the framework itself).

However, one suggestion might be to have, for example, [person workPhone] return an NSArray of strings, or better yet, add a method "workPhones" that would return an array. Still pretty simple and still avoiding indexForIdentifier and valueAtIndex calls.

Of course, anyone can make this addition on their own since the author was kind enough to make the source code freely available (that is primarily why I'm posting to the list and not the author directly).

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.

Just to make everything clear this assumption is wrong. Which is why
we wrote ABMultiValue, it wasn't done to make things difficult for > you.
