Address Book is returning old values
- by Marcus Wood
Hi there,
I am having a problem with the AddressBook framework.
It all seems to be stemming from ABCopyRecordForUniqueId returning a record with old data.
Example:
I run up the program below in one terminal window - it shows the current data.
I make a change through the address book UI - my program continues to show old data.
I run up another instance of the same program in a new terminal window - it shows the updated data.
I have tried posting on the omnigroup site with no luck :( so any guidance is really appreciated
PS: If you would like to try the code, to get an address book ID you can export a contact as a vCard and open it with a text editor
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABGetSharedAddressBook();
while(1)
{
ABRecordRef addressBookRecord = NULL;
addressBookRecord = ABCopyRecordForUniqueId(addressBook, CFSTR("4064D587-0378-4DCF-A6B9-D3702F01C94C:ABPerson"));
CFShow(addressBookRecord);
CFRelease(addressBookRecord);
sleep(1);
}
return 0;
}
