Neat. Dump your address book in a few simple lines:
#import #import
int main(){ NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
ABAddressBook *abook = [ABAddressBook sharedAddressBook]; NSArray *people = [abook people]; int ii;
NSLog(@"There are %d records in the address book\n", [people count]);
for (ii = 0; ii NSLog(@"Person %d is %@ %@\n", ii, [[people objectAtIndex:ii] valueForProperty:kABFirstNameProperty], [[people objectAtIndex:ii] valueForProperty:kABLastNameProperty]); }
[pool release];}
No wonder Apple’s pushing Cocoa’s ability to speed up development time. :)
Don’t get me wrong, though. The equivalent in Carbon’s not much longer, but still unnecessarily so, in my opinion. I find Cocoa quite self-documenting.
