App crashes when adding contacts to group

Question

I have an array of contacts, when I am trying to add a contact into a group, its crash my application. Here is my code :

for (int i = 0; i < [contactArray count]; i++)
{
    ABRecordRef newPerson =  [contactArray objectAtIndex:i];
    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonFirstNameProperty,name, &error);
    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty, phone,nil);
    ABAddressBookAddRecord(iPhoneAddressBook, newPerson, &error);
    ABAddressBookSave(iPhoneAddressBook, &error);

    BOOL add = ABGroupAddMember(newGroup, newPerson, &error);
    if (add) {
        NSLog(@"added");
    }
}

My application crashes on ABRecordRef newPerson = [contactArray objectAtIndex:i];

How can I get the record of a person from the array to add it to a group ?

In which os its crash? In ios 6 you get permission access use address book contact — Nims, Mar 20 '13 at 09:37

Use:

ABRecordRef newPerson = (id)[contactArray objectAtIndex:i];

A ABRecordRef is a typedef for CFTypeRef and that in turn resolves to const void *.

Use below code and try:

CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBookRef);

    CFIndex nPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBookRef);
for (int i=0;i < nPeople;i++) {
 ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(allPeople,i);


        NSString *firstName, *lastName;
        ABMultiValueRef phones;
        firstName =(__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonFirstNameProperty));
        lastName  = (__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonLastNameProperty));
        phones = (ABMultiValueRef)ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
 }
    CFRelease(allPeople);

No, ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople will give all peoples in address book..For selection you use ABPeoplePickerNavigationController – Nims Mar 20 '13 at 10:28
