I am creating an Address Book application. If I have a VCF format, is it possible to be viewed/added in my address book and not on the default address book of iphone? like having an "open in.. other application" option?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is possible.
I want to save a number after launching the app in the first view(Of course prompting the user).
This will be used when sending a message directly from the app.
Anyone tried doing this?
I believe you can do this by utilizing the Address Book UI framework in conjunction with the Address Book framework. The Address Book UI framework facilitates the displaying, editing, selecting, and creating of records in the Address Book database, and uses the Address Book framework in the background.
So in your case, you'd launch the Address Book UI on startup.
Hope this helps!

You need to an ABAddressBookRef. Read the following documentation, it shows you exactly how to do what you want: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ContactData/Conceptual/AddressBookProgrammingGuideforiPhone/Chapters/BasicObjects.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007744-CH3-SW1
Have you read this section of the Address Book Framework Programming Guide?

Hai all,
In my iphone application i want to open a my custom application(available in the iphone) when the user tapes on a particular type file sent by email or MMS ,
for example, if i sent an music file (via email or MMS) with a custom extension (for eg: .muc) i want to open my application (lets say myMusicPlayer) to play that file,
is there any way to do that in iphone ?
thanks in advance
There is currently no way to do this exactly. The only way to open an application is using a URL scheme assigned to your app via the Info.plist file but you wouldn't be able to send the local file system location of your file to it.
I am developing an application which is similar to native contact book app of iphone. I want to add additional property/field in native iphone address book database. e.g. network carrier of each contact (AT&T).
How to access the database of native address book from our app? Is that possible to do?
You cannot add custom fields. You can add data into the Notes field, but not add any custom fields into the AddressBook Person class. You can extend the AddressBook but you will need to save the data somewhere else and link the Person to the data you saved.
You can access the data from the address book using the AddressBook framework.
addPropertiesAndTypes is only available on Mac OS
