The documentation for hightlightProperty(withKey:identifier:) describes the parameter "key" as the "Key of the property to highlight." I believe that refers to the CNKeyDescriptor, such as CNContactGivenNameKey, which can cast from a type CNKeyDescriptor to String. The documentation for identifier is "the value to highlight". I believe an example of that would be "John" as the given name. Am I correct about all this? In any case, I'm not able to highlight an email property when I use CNContactEmailAddresses as the key, and an actual email address as the identifier. I have also tried using the identifier property of CNLabeledValue, which is how an email address is stored. I can't find anything on the internet to explain this. I didn't even find a similar question, except my own question asking this exact same question about two months ago. Anyone have any idea or a good answer for this?

The application I am creating is using CNContact() and I am trying to attach an Instagram profile. There currently is no CNSocialProfileService for Instagram. Does anyone know of a way to do so? Currently I have: let socialProfile = CNLabeledValue(label: social.service, value: CNSocialProfile(urlString: "https://www.instagram.com/" + social.username, username: social.username, userIdentifier: nil, service: "Instagram")) That works but when it saves to contacts it creates a Custom Service and then capitalizes the service name and the username.

So I only recently uncovered the Contacts Framework through this video: https://youtu.be/sHKir2ZMk5Q. As such I'm not yet accustomed to the API. Basically my main problem is that I can't seem to find a way to access the name of the group a CNContact is in. The only support I can find is in Apple's own documentation, which isn't very helpful. if someone could point me in the right direction towards how to print the group name, I would be very grateful. My code is below, Cheers // ModelData.swift // B-Day import Foundation import Contacts import SwiftUI struct Contact: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let category: String let firstName: String let lastName: String let birthday: DateComponents? } func fetchAllContacts() async -> [Contact] { var contacts = [Contact]() let store = CNContactStore() let keys = [CNContactGivenNameKey, CNContactFamilyNameKey, CNContactBirthdayKey, CNContactIdentifierKey, CNGroupNameKey] as [CNKeyDescriptor] let fetchRequest = CNContactFetchRequest (keysToFetch: keys) do { try store.enumerateContacts(with: fetchRequest, usingBlock: { contact, result in //this should print the name of the contact's group print(contact.groupName) contacts.append(Contact(category: contact.groupName, firstName: contact.givenName, lastName: contact.familyName, birthday: contact.birthday)) }) } catch { print("Error") } return contacts }

After presenting a CNContactViewController to create a new contact once I open the image editor and instead of going through the whole flow I decide the cancel it once I get back to my contact VC the cancel and done buttons are gone and I have no way to dismiss the contact info. Note: If you do go through setting an image at the end of the flow once you are back to the contacts VC the buttons are enabled again and the VC can be dismissed. Here's a quick code example of the presentation logic. This is all this app did. class ViewController: UIViewController { let button = UIButton(primaryAction: UIAction(handler: { _ in self.presentContacts() })) func presentContacts() { let mutableContact = CNMutableContact() let newPhone = CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelPhoneNumberMobile, value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: "randomnumberhere")) mutableContact.phoneNumbers += [newPhone] let cont = CNContactViewController(forUnknownContact: mutableContact) cont.contactStore = CNContactStore() cont.allowsActions = false cont.isEditing = true cont.delegate = self let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: cont) nav.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance() navBarAppearance.configureWithTransparentBackground() nav.navigationBar.standardAppearance = navBarAppearance nav.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance self.navigationController?.present(cont, animated: true) } } extension ViewController: CNContactViewControllerDelegate { func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, shouldPerformDefaultActionFor property: CNContactProperty) -> Bool { return false } func contactViewController(_ viewController: CNContactViewController, didCompleteWith contact: CNContact?) { viewController.dismiss(animated: true) } }

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Everywhere where Apple offers it, I use Apple's Private Relay e-mail addresses. However, they can't be manually generated, so for the rest, I use https://anonaddy.me. Because it offers infinite aliases, I use a different alias every time I give my e-mail address to someone. However, I ensure that they're all under the @rokejulianlockhart.anonaddy.com (.com and .me are equivalent in this case) domain so that they can be identified as me by a human. I use different aliases to combat spam, not be anonymous. Additionally, when messaging others, I ensure that I add a sub-address with my name to their e-mail address so that they can filter all messages from me (even if I'm using a different alias for my own filtering purposes). Others use the same when communicating with me, especially family. The current identification system doesn't take sub-addresses into account whatsoever. Describe the solution you'd like I should therefore be able to set RY7I0I+RY7I0R@rokejulianlockhart.anonaddy.com as an e-mail address, and beneath it add, for instance [A-Za-z0-9]+\+[A-Za-z0-9]+@rokejulianlockhart\.anonaddy\.com in another input form to ensure that Nextcloud identifies any (in this case sub-addressed) alias as me. Describe alternatives you've considered The sole current alternative is to list literal tens of thousands of aliases as myself, which is insane. It also wouldn't work, because https://anonaddy.me generates a new alias when someone else uses one, so I'd have to retroactively add those whenever someone else uses one. It also wouldn't account for sub-addresses. Additional context Like most more powerful features of Nextcloud, this only need be visible when clicked on. Adding a button beside each e-mail address to show a form which allows the user to enter custom regex is enough. Additionally requested at: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/ed4261f8-af28-ee11-a81c-6045bd8534ad. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255016441. https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/3530#issue-1816825315.

We use Eventkit Framework to synchronize the meeting calendar to the system calendar, read the System Calendar with -[EKEventStore calendarsForEntityType:], Use - [EKEventStore saveEvent: span: commit: error:] wrote system calendar. This usage currently triggers the Contacts Permission Alert on a user. Through the log, we identified no use - [CNContactStore requestAccessForEntityType: completionHandler:] and Contacts API.

On my iPhone, in Settings, I've added my company Exchange account. Consequently, within the Contacts app, 4 new lists appear - the bottom as shown in the attached image. There's a few thousand contacts in the Company Exchange account, so why are the count values showing as 0? If I click on the Global Address list and search, it can succfully find whatever I search for. I want to programatically retrieve the contacts within the Exchange account, in addition to those stored locally or within iCloud, however if I execute the following code, for the container of type exchange, the count of results of the call to unifiedContacts() is 0. How can I programatically get the Exchange contacts? If the call to unifiedContacts() is resulting in 0 because the count for the lists when viewing the Contacts app is 0, then how to make it not 0 in the Contacts app (but if that were the case, how come manually searching for a contact is successful?) let keysToFetch = [ CNContactFormatter.descriptorForRequiredKeys(for: .fullName), CNContactPhoneNumbersKey, CNContactEmailAddressesKey, CNContactThumbnailImageDataKey] as [Any] var allContainers: [CNContainer] = [] do { allContainers = try CNContactStore().containers(matching: nil) } catch { print("Error fetching containers") } var results: [CNContact] = [] for container in allContainers { let type = container.type let identifier = container.identifier let fetchPredicate = CNContact.predicateForContactsInContainer(withIdentifier: container.identifier) do { let containerResults = try CNContactStore().unifiedContacts(matching: fetchPredicate, keysToFetch: keysToFetch as! [CNKeyDescriptor]) let count = containerResults.count results.append(contentsOf: containerResults) } catch { print("Error fetching containers") } }

Hi, we are using following setting in our web app to capture customer contact/shipping details: we have selected "detailed request" from "Apple pay payment request" It leads to parsing of following data: However, we do not need the **postal address, ** just email and contact is enough. The problem is in many cases users have not added a shipping address to their apple account, which leads to this screen in case they try to pay: Is it possible to just ask users for "contact number" and "email address" and EXCLUDE asking shipping address which they might have not added, so the payment goes through even if the user has not updated the "address".

Hi, Im using the CNContactStore.currentHistory (available from iOS 13) to get token and check version of contacts. Everything is good til I try it on iOS 13 and iOS 14. Token is always nil from both ObjC and Swift. Is it a bug? Or have any way to handle that instead? Have any way to get token in iOS 13, 14? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If I have located (or created) a CNContact record on one device (e.g., iPhone), and I want to retrieve that same record programmatically from another device (e.g., iPad or Mac), is there any unique id that identifies that record? The identifier property on CNContact seems to be assigned for the local replica of the contact record, but I don't believe it can be used to retrieve the record on another device (e.g., using unifiedContact(withIdentifier...). I can unifiedContact(matching...) but not guaranteed to get same record if there are multiples with same predicate property values. I'm pretty new to Swift and CNContactStore, so sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

You can programatically get/set a picture and a thumbnail for a contact, however the new poster field added to iOS 17 apparently has no programatic access? I'm not able to see anything new being added to CNContact.h

In the WWDC, there was a mention of the CallKit framework that it would be possible for 3rd party VoIP apps to create Posters programmatically. However, there are no new methods around this in the CallKit framework. Are we missing something?
