There is CNContact property keys to display in the contact detail card. You can do this by setting displayedPropertyKeys property of CNContactPickerViewController when you showing the contact list:

    let contactPicker = CNContactPickerViewController()
    contactPicker.displayedPropertyKeys = [CNContactPostalAddressesKey]

If you are showing the contact using CNContactViewController then can disable action using allowsActions property:

    let controller = CNContactViewController(for: SELECTED_CONTACT)
    controller.contactStore = CNContactStore()
    controller.allowsActions = false
    controller.delegate = self

Complete implemention:

Function for showing CNContactPickerViewController:

@IBAction func showContactList( sender: Any) ->Void{
    let contactPicker = CNContactPickerViewController()
    contactPicker.delegate = self
    self.present(contactPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Implement delegate for CNContactPickerViewController:

public func contactPicker(_ picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelect contact: CNContact){
    print(#function)
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion:{
        self.showDetailFor(contact: contact)
    })
}

to display details of contact open CNContactViewController:

func showDetailFor(contact: CNContact) -> Void{
    let contactViewController = CNContactViewController(forUnknownContact: contact)
    contactViewController.contactStore = CNContactStore()
    contactViewController.delegate = self
    contactViewController.allowsActions = false
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(contactViewController, animated: true)
}

implement CNContactViewControllerDelegate to get selected property or handle action for any property:

func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController,
                           shouldPerformDefaultActionFor property: CNContactProperty) -> Bool{
// return true if want to perform any action on selected property otherwise return false
    return false
}
