Alex,

it's probably because of bad code style in my app.

The apps needs to serialize Person records to ship them through a network. Thus,
the app traverses a Person record and creates a flattened representation.
I never received problem reports before Tiger - and the app is somehow robust
against custom fields anyway.


I need to check the final cause of the problem. Currently, I'm happy, that I found
the problem - since I always see - due to uncertain reasons - assembly code, not
ObjC source ;-)


Kind regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

as the Address Book API is currently designed any and all applications can add any number of properties to the Address Book database. I am not sure when this particular one was added, and seeing its name I would imagine that it is related to speech synthesis. However, I am also pretty sure that if it's not documented it must be because it's something speech uses internally, and that is not intended for public use.

Also, I am curious, how is this property actually breaking your app?

Thanks,
Alex.

Today, we found a new property in address book:

	com.apple.speech.ABSpeakable

Example values:

"com.apple.speech.ABSpeakable" = {person = 1; speak = 1; useFirst = 0; useLast = 0; useNickname = 1; };

Since I've never seen this property before, I suppose the property is new in Tiger.

Since this property breaks one of our apps since Tiger, I really wonder, why I've never seen this property
in any documentation.


Is this property not documented? Even Google does not know anything about 'com.apple.speech.ABSpeakable'.
