get kABAddressCountryCodeKey from address book

I have this code to get the country of a specific person from my osx address book.

let address = person.value(forProperty: kABAddressProperty) as? ABMultiValue

print(((adresse?.value(at: 0) as? NSMutableDictionary)?.value(forKey: kABAddressCountryKey) as? String) ?? "No Country")

print(((adresse?.value(at: 0) as? NSMutableDictionary)?.value(forKey: kABAddressCountryCodeKey) as? String) ?? "No Country")

The print result for kABAddressCountryKey will be the complete country. but I would like to have the country code key. But for the second print result I get "No Country"

what did I forget?

Solution

  • I don't think you forgot anything. I just iterated through my contacts, and of the 2,020 addresses I had with countries, 1,368 had no country code.

    I just did a quick test and a contact added in macOS Sierra Contacts app did not get country code, whereas contact added in iOS 11 Contacts app did.
