My application needs to send email to friends.

I found that Mail application has much more Email address than the Contact app. In Mail app or MFMessageComposeViewController, I can search for email dress from any mail that contact me before.

My question is how to retrieve those emails address to my app?

Best,

Kong

No you can only acces contact via the Address Book API this is the same API that MFMessageComposeViewController uses.

Apple does not allow any acces to other app's data because of security restrictions.

  • Thanks, I'm afraid of a NO, too. Still, I want to wait if there has other work-arounds. If not, then I'll mark this is the correct answer. – KONG Nov 19 '12 at 09:32
  • Any work arounds will probably contain private API wich will get you app reject if you plan to submit it to the app store. – rckoenes Nov 19 '12 at 09:36
