i am trying to implement the Accessing iOS contacts using the https://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/08/13/access-to-ios-contacts/
and i am getting an err The Second argument to native.showPopup(addressbook) must be a tables
even though i am using the exact methods .
so i tried to check with a sample code here
https://github.com/coronalabs/plugins-sample-native-popup-addressbook
and this time the address book didn’t show and instead it just show a white screen ( nothing changed )
what messages are in your console log?

With ios9 you’ve got to ask permission to access ios contacts.
Danny fixed the issue a couple months ago. It works like this.

Hi Rob . i managed to make it work asking first for permission to access the contacts
but i am not yet able to get the data from the filter .
i want to copy the mobile Number so i can use it later
here is my code
local function ListContacts( event ) native.showPopup("addressbook", { option = "getPermission", option = "pickContact", hideDetails = true, --performDefaultAction = true, filter = {"firstName"}, listener = onPopupDismiss }) end local function onPopupDismiss( event ) data1=event.data pasteboard.copy( "string",data1 ) end
till now i am not able to get the event.data . i am trying here the firstName to check if i can get that data or not
btw in iphone i can see filed Mobile . but i couldnot find that field on the option parm in corona docs . i found only phonemobile but i dont think they are the same .
i will keep trying to get the data and will tell you later
Thanks Portal5B ( i were replying same time as you )
yes it was about th permission . but i still face main issue getting filtered data .
sobh…here’s my listener, give it a try and you will see what is contained in event.data.
It looks for “custom” labels for email and phone so they don’t get dropped when importing.
It also looks for Zip Codes, they are now in caps. homeZIP for ex.

I should have told you, my listener adds a suffix to emails and phone number keys so I can find them when I parse the table later where I remove then remove the suffixs.
I was frustrated I couldn’t get custom key’s, the workaround seems to work.
