ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID crash the app when recordId not available

Question

In my app I've stored ABPropertyID in database and based on that I've displayed number of ABRecordRef with ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID(addressBook, recordID). But when contact deleted in contacts and I try to get ABRecordRef, App crashes is obvious.

So my question is:

Is there any way to check that recordID is available in addressBook?

This function does not throw an exception, but it returns NULL if there is no record with this ID.

See: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ipad/#documentation/AddressBook/Reference/ABPersonRef_iPhoneOS/Reference/reference.html

try this one

ABAddressBookRef addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
        // First time access has been granted, add the contact
        ABAddressBookRef iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

        ABRecordRef newPerson = ABPersonCreate();

        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonSortByFirstName,(__bridge CFTypeRef)(firstname),&error);
        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonLastNameProperty,(__bridge CFTypeRef)(lastname), &error);
        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonOrganizationProperty, @"", &error);
        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonJobTitleProperty,@"", &error);



        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiPhone = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);
        ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, (__bridge CFTypeRef)(contact_phone), kABPersonPhoneMainLabel, NULL);

        ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, @"", kABOtherLabel, NULL);
        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty, multiPhone,nil);
        CFRelease(multiPhone);



        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiEmail = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);
        ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiEmail,(__bridge CFTypeRef)(contact_email) , kABWorkLabel, NULL);
        ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty, multiEmail, &error);
        CFRelease(multiEmail);

        //        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiAddress = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiDictionaryPropertyType);
        //    NSMutableDictionary *addressDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
        //    [addressDictionary setObject:@"750 North Orleans Street, Ste 601" forKey:(NSString *) kABPersonAddressStreetKey];

        //    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiAddress, addressDictionary, kABWorkLabel, NULL);
        //    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonAddressProperty, multiAddress,&error);
        //    CFRelease(multiAddress);

        ABAddressBookAddRecord(iPhoneAddressBook, newPerson, &error);
        ABAddressBookSave(iPhoneAddressBook, &error);

        if (error != NULL)
        {
            NSLog(@"Danger Will Robinson! Danger!");
        }


        // ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();


    });
}
else if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
    CFErrorRef error = NULL;
   // ABAddressBookRef addressBook =ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

    ABAddressBookRef iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

    ABRecordRef newPerson = ABPersonCreate();

    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, @"", kABOtherLabel, NULL);
    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty, multiPhone,nil);
    CFRelease(multiPhone);



    ABMutableMultiValueRef multiEmail = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);
    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiEmail, (__bridge CFTypeRef)(contact_email), kABWorkLabel, NULL);
    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty, multiEmail, &error);
    CFRelease(multiEmail);

    //    CFRelease(multiAddress);



    ABAddressBookAddRecord(iPhoneAddressBook, newPerson, &error);
    ABAddressBookSave(iPhoneAddressBook, &error);
    alertvalue++;

    if (error != NULL)
    {
        NSLog(@"Error not found!");
    }


    // ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();


}
 else {
    // The user has previously denied access
    // Send an alert telling user to change privacy setting in settings app
 }        }

when you get details from ,first u have to check whther is it null or not ? then add — , Dec 18 '12 at 07:31
