It seems to be that Today Extensions (Widgets) are unable to access contact records via the ABAddressBook.framework. Apple is saying:
Because of its focused role in the system, an app extension is ineligible to participate in certain activities. An app extension cannot:
Access a sharedApplication object, and so cannot use any of the methods on that object Use any API marked in header files with the NS_EXTENSION_UNAVAILABLE macro, or similar unavailability macro, or any API in an unavailable framework For example, in iOS 8.0, the HealthKit framework and EventKit UI framework are unavailable to app extensions.
However, I cannot find any of these NS_EXTENSION_UNAVAILABLE markers in the headers of ABAddressBook.framework.
So I'm wondering if it's either my or Apple fault here?
PS: Yes, AddressBook access is set to YES in the entitlements.
