Not asking permission for fetching contacts from user's address book

Question

I have to access user contacts from his phone book and show it in skstableview. For getting contact and showing it on tableview I am using below code but neither it is not asking for accessing contact permission nor getting contacts and print this statement on console:

"Access Denied" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Access Denied, NSLocalizedFailureReason=This application has not been granted permission to access Contacts.}

I have done entry in plist file for accessing contacts but nothing is working for me.

Here is the code snippet which I am using in Xcode 8.3.3 in swift.

 func getContacts() {
    let store = CNContactStore()

    if CNContactStore.authorizationStatus(for: .contacts) == .notDetermined {

        store.requestAccess(for: .contacts){succeeded, err in
            guard err == nil && succeeded else{
                return
            }
            self.contactList()
        }
    } else if CNContactStore.authorizationStatus(for: .contacts) == .authorized {
        self.contactList()
        NSLog(" move to contact list ")

    }
}

func contactList() {
    let req = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: [
        CNContactFamilyNameKey as CNKeyDescriptor,
        CNContactGivenNameKey as CNKeyDescriptor,
        CNContactPhoneNumbersKey as CNKeyDescriptor
        ])

    arr_contacts.removeAllObjects()

    try! CNContactStore().enumerateContacts(with: req) {
        contact, stop in
        print("contacts \(contact)") // in real life, probably populate an array
        self.arr_contacts.add(contact)
    }

    tbl_List.reloadData()
    print("added all contacts")

}

Can any one suggest what am I doing wrong.

Thanks
