Why am i crashing here?

Question

The firstname, lastname and email address work great! as soon as I get to address, im crashing.

            NSString *firstName =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
            NSString *lastName  =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
            NSString *emailAddress  =   (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty);
            NSString *address   =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonAddressStreetKey);
            NSString *city      =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonAddressCityKey);
            NSString *state     =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonAddressStreetKey);
            NSString *zip       =       (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonAddressZIPKey);

Can you give more context around it? I expect the problem to be somewhere else. — Eiko, Apr 07 '11 at 19:45

Address is MultiValue Property ((a multivalue property of type kABMultiDictionaryPropertyType) you can not access it like this directly using ABRecordRef object.

You first need to get that multivalue property and then using this you can access the street,city and other address properties.
