peoplePickerNavigationController: shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson: property: identifier:

I am trying to get selected mobile phone number with

ABMultiValueRef phones = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
CFStringRef phoneNumber = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, identifier);

I have a contact with several mobile phones (all labeled 'mobile'). When I select the first one, phoneNumber gives me the first one, but if I select any consecutive one, phoneNumber gives me the previous number:

Contact: Jay Jaymes mobile +1111111111 mobile +2222222222 mobile +3333333333

Tap first one, phoneNumber = +1111111111

Tap second one, phoneNumber = +1111111111

Tap third one, phoneNumber = +2222222222

Solution

  • This is code I use. And It will give correct phone number only 

      - (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {

        if (property == kABPersonPhoneProperty) {

            ABMultiValueRef phoneProperty = ABRecordCopyValue(person,property);
            CFIndex peopleIndex = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(property, identifier);
            NSString *phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneProperty, peopleIndex);

            [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        }
    return NO;
}
