I used Xcode version 11.1 and IOS deployment target as 8.0
When i use address book, the app crashes with a build error @property with strong or retain must be object type. I don’t know how to solve this. please help me

It is possible to display contacts in swift. But some times i got error in my -swift.h file that @property AddressBookRef must contain object type

It run well on the simulators, but when I run on my iPhone 6 plus, tapped the cat, it crashed with the following message:
Authorized
fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
(lldb)

Greetings,

It issues with Optional value of ABAddressBook. Make it optional and problem will be solved.

let addressBookRef : ABAddressBook? = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(nil, nil)?.takeRetainedValue()

Thank you

Is it normal if the app crashes when you don’t give it permission and then it asks you to change your permission settings, and navigates you to your settings page, and when you click to give it permission, the app crashes?

@thomasbaldwin Yes, it’s normal. After user changes any of the App permissions in settings App is force closed and restarts.
