I am developing an app that would like to access the contacts on the user's device. There was a recent article published that said Apple was restricting access to a user's contacts on their device. This was due to some current apps accessing the contacts and using that list for spam email and texts.
Is that they case? if so, are there specific cases that allow an App to access the contacts?
To access contacts, use the… Contacts framework.
This can be restricted by the user. Historically this was an allow/deny switch. On the latest system the user has a third option, allowing them to choose which contacts your app can see.
Share and Enjoy
