I'm attempting to add a feature to my app that allows the user to select a contact from an ABPeoplePickerNavigationController, which then displays an ABPersonViewController corresponding to the contact they picked. At that point, I want the user to be able to click on a contact's phone number and have my app respond with custom behavior.

I've got the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController working fine, but I'm running into a problem displaying the ABPersonViewController. I can get the ABPersonViewController to animate onto the screen just fine, but it only displays the contact's photo, name, and company name. None of the contact's other fields are displayed.

I'm using the 'displayedProperties' element in the ABPersonViewController to tell the program to display phone numbers. This creates some strange behavior; when I select a contact that has no phone numbers assigned, the contact shows up with "No Phone Numbers" written in the background (as you'd expect), but when selecting a contact that does have a phone number, all I get is a blank contact page (without the "No Phone Numbers" text).

Here's the method in my ABPeoplePickerNavigationController delegate class that I'm using to create my PersonViewController class, which implements the ABPersonViewController interface:

- (BOOL) peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {

    BOOL returnState = NO;

    PersonViewController *personView = [[PersonViewController alloc] init];
    [personView displayContactInfo:person];

    [peoplePicker pushViewController:personView animated:YES];

    [personView release];

    return returnState;
}

Here's my PersonViewController.h header file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>

@interface PersonViewController : UIViewController <ABPersonViewControllerDelegate> 
{

}

- (void) displayContactInfo: (ABRecordRef)person;

@end

Finally, here's my PersonViewController.m that's creating the ABPersonViewController to view the selected contact:

#import "PersonViewController.h"

@implementation PersonViewController

- (void) displayContactInfo: (ABRecordRef)person
{
    ABPersonViewController *personController = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];

    personController.personViewDelegate = self;
    personController.allowsEditing = NO;
    personController.displayedPerson = person;
    personController.addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();

    personController.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
            [NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty], 
            nil];

    [self setView:personController.view];

    [[self navigationController] pushViewController:personController animated:YES];
    [personController release];
}

- (BOOL) personViewController:(ABPersonViewController*)personView shouldPerformDefaultActionForPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifierForValue
{
    return YES;
}


@end

Does anyone have any idea as to why I'm seeing this blank Contact screen instead of one with clickable phone number fields?
