How to get special phone numbers for labels in your address book

Question

I am trying to get a custom phone number using the address book (swift).

I tried using the kABOtherLabel property, but I did not get the desired result.

I would like to know if there is a way to get custom shortcut properties.?

Here I share what I am currently doing.

Thanks in advance.

//phone


var phones : ABMultiValueRef = ABRecordCopyValue(contactRef,kABPersonPhoneProperty).takeUnretainedValue() as ABMultiValueRef

        for(var numberIndex : CFIndex = 0; numberIndex < ABMultiValueGetCount(phones); numberIndex++)
        {

            // Number in contact details of current index

            let phoneUnmaganed = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, numberIndex)


            let phoneNumber : NSString = phoneUnmaganed.takeUnretainedValue() as! NSString

            // Label of Phone Number

            let locLabel : CFStringRef = (ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex) != nil) ? ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex).takeUnretainedValue() as CFStringRef : ""

            //check for home
            if (String(locLabel) == String(kABHomeLabel))
            {
                contact.sUserTelHome =  phoneNumber as String
                contact.sUserTelHomeTrim = contact.sUserTelHome?.trimmedContactNumber()

            }

                //check for work
            else if (String(locLabel) == String(kABWorkLabel))
            {
                contact.sUserTelWork = phoneNumber as String
                contact.sUserTelWorkTrim = contact.sUserTelWork?.trimmedContactNumber()

            }

                //check for mobile
            else if (String(locLabel) == String(kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel))
            {
                contact.sUserTelMobile = phoneNumber as String
                contact.sUserTelMobileTrim = contact.sUserTelMobile?.trimmedContactNumber()
            }

            else if(String(locLabel) == String(kABOtherLabel)){



            }
}

let customLabel = String (stringInterpolationSegment: ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(locLabel))

This will print a phone number label. I believe that this is what you are looking for, for more details, please visit here . Find the full code below.

Swift 3 ( Aju):

let status = ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus()
        if status == .denied || status == .restricted {
            // user previously denied, to tell them to fix that in settings
            return
        }

        // open it

        var error: Unmanaged<CFError>?
        let addressBook: ABAddressBook? = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(nil, &error)?.takeRetainedValue()
        if addressBook == nil {
            print(error?.takeRetainedValue() as Any)
            return
        }

        // request permission to use it
        ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook) {
            granted, error in

            if !granted {
                // warn the user that because they just denied permission, this functionality won't work
                // also let them know that they have to fix this in settings
                return
            }

            if let people: Array<ABRecord> = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(self.addressBookRef)?.takeRetainedValue() as Array<ABRecord>? {
                // now do something with the array of people

                for record:ABRecord in people {
                let phones : ABMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(record,kABPersonPhoneProperty).takeUnretainedValue() as ABMultiValue

                for numberIndex:CFIndex in 0 ... ABMultiValueGetCount(phones)-1
                {
                    let phoneUnmaganed = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, numberIndex)
                    let phoneNumber : String = phoneUnmaganed!.takeUnretainedValue() as! String

                    let locLabel: CFString = (ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex) != nil) ? ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex).takeUnretainedValue() as CFString : "" as CFString

Works for Swift 4 (Aju code update). Also edited for SwiftLint.

func getAllContactPhoneNumber() {
    let phones: ABMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(person,
                                                 kABPersonPhoneProperty).takeUnretainedValue() as ABMultiValue
    for numberIndex in 0..<ABMultiValueGetCount(phones) {
        let phoneUnmaganed = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, numberIndex)
        guard let phoneNumber = phoneUnmaganed!.takeUnretainedValue() as? NSString else {
            return
        }
        let locLabel: NSString = (ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex) != nil) ?
            ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, numberIndex).takeUnretainedValue() as NSString: ""
        let cfStr: CFTypeRef = locLabel
        guard let nsTypeString = cfStr as? NSString else {
            return
        }
        let swiftString: String = nsTypeString as String
        let customLabel = String (stringInterpolationSegment: ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(locLabel))
        print("Name :-\(swiftString) NO :-\(phoneNumber)" )
    }
}
