Unable to add contact in group !!
ABRecordRef group = ABGroupCreate(); //create a group
ABRecordSetValue(group, kABGroupNameProperty,@"My Group", &error); // set group's name
ABGroupAddMember(group, person, &error); // add the person to the group
ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBook, group, &error); // add the group
ABAddressBookSave(addressBook, nil); //save the record
Please find the working code below ...
ABRecordRef aRecord = ABPersonCreate();
CFErrorRef anError = NULL;
ABRecordSetValue(aRecord, kABPersonFirstNameProperty,
CFSTR("Jijo"), &anError);
ABRecordSetValue(aRecord, kABPersonLastNameProperty,
CFSTR("Pulikkottil"), &anError);
if (anError != NULL) {
NSLog(@"error while creating..");
}
CFStringRef firstName, lastName;
firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(aRecord, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
lastName = ABRecordCopyValue(aRecord, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
ABAddressBookRef addressBook;
CFErrorRef error = NULL;
addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
BOOL isAdded = ABAddressBookAddRecord (
addressBook,
aRecord,
&error
);
if(isAdded){
NSLog(@"added..");
}
if (error != NULL) {
NSLog(@"ABAddressBookAddRecord %@", error);
}
error = NULL;
BOOL isSaved = ABAddressBookSave (
addressBook,
&error
);
if(isSaved){
NSLog(@"saved..");
}
if (error != NULL) {
NSLog(@"ABAddressBookSave %@", error);
}
CFRelease(aRecord);
CFRelease(firstName);
CFRelease(lastName);
CFRelease(addressBook);
Don't forget add the AddressBook.Framework.
