Didn't run the below code, but try and make a few changes as required.

-(void) getFacebookContacts:(ABAddressBookRef) addressBookRef
{
    CFArrayRef allContacts = 
    ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBookRef);
    CFIndex contactCount = CFArrayGetCount(allContacts);
    CFStringRef str1 = CFSTR("FACEBOOK");

    // Traverse through contacts
    for(int i=0; i<contactCount; i++)
    {
        ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(allContacts, i);
        //Check if contact has social profile
        ABMultiValueRef social = ABRecordCopyValue(( ABRecordRef)ref, kABPersonSocialProfileProperty);

        if (social) {
        for (NSInteger i=0 ; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(social); i++) {
            CFDictionaryRef instantMessageValue = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(social, i);
            CFStringRef instantMessageString = CFDictionaryGetValue(instantMessageValue, kABPersonInstantMessageServiceKey);
            // Check if service is FACEBOOK
            if (CFStringCompare(instantMessageString, str1, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo) {
            returnValue = YES;

            NSDictionary * powerDic = (__bridge NSDictionary *)instantMessageValue;
            NSLog(@"%@", [powerDic valueForKey:@"service"]);
            NSLog(@"%@", [powerDic valueForKey:@"url"]);
            NSLog(@"%@", [powerDic valueForKey:@"username"]);
            NSLog(@"%@", [powerDic valueForKey:@"displayname"]);

        }
      }
    }
}

Hope this helps :) EDIT: Tested and working.

its also not working , if(social) gets nil not going inside for (NSInteger i=0 ; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(social); i++) ,CFIndex count is 0 always – user7356913 Jul 06 '17 at 09:53
That's what we want, right ? If social is `nil`, then there is no need to execute the below code. – Tejas K Jul 06 '17 at 09:59
but CFArrayRef allContacts there are 42 elements – user7356913 Jul 06 '17 at 10:16
@user7356913: I have edited the code. I tried and it's working, check and let me know. – Tejas K Jul 06 '17 at 11:52
instantMessage what is this,undeclared identifier and returnValue @Tejas K – user7356913 Jul 06 '17 at 12:16
@user7356913: Check now. – Tejas K Jul 06 '17 at 12:18
when i am using breakpoint and moves cursor on social then this shows ABMultiValueRef 0x60000066ed00 with 0 value(s) , and not going inside for (NSInteger i=0 ; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(social); i++) this loop but CFIndex contactCount shows 42 – user7356913 Jul 06 '17 at 12:29
@user7356913: contactCount is the total number of contacts in your address book, it's showing zero because that contact has nothing under `social`. You should edit a contact and add values to `social` under `facebook` – Tejas K Jul 06 '17 at 12:32
