How to determine the type of an address in AddressBook FrameWork (iOS 4.2) - iphone

Question

I´ve one big problem... I plan to write an app that deals with the users addressbook and it´s addresses. Everything´s fine - except the fact that I´m not able to determine whether the addesse´s type is "work", "home" or "other".
Does anybody know how to get the label for home, work and other?
Thanks in advance

This is the function I´m using at the moment:
+ (void)testing {
//Get the addressbook
ABAddressBookRef _addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreate ();
//Fetch all contacts
NSArray* allPeople = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(_addressBookRef);
//Walk the contacts
for (id record in allPeople) {
//Get the contact´s id
NSInteger recordId = ABRecordGetRecordID((ABRecordRef)record);
//Get the contact´s name and company
NSString* recordName = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyCompositeName((ABRecordRef)record);
NSString* recordCompany = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue((ABRecordRef)record, kABPersonOrganizationProperty);
//Get the contact´s addresses
CFTypeRef adressesReference = ABRecordCopyValue((ABRecordRef)record, kABPersonAddressProperty);
NSArray *adressesArray = (NSArray *)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(adressesReference);
CFRelease(adressesReference);
NSLog(#"ID: %d", recordId);
NSLog(#"Name: %#", recordName);
NSLog(#"Firma: %#", recordCompany);
for (NSString *adress in adressesArray) {
NSLog(#"Adresse: %#", adress);
}
[adressesArray release];
}
CFRelease(_addressBookRef);
[allPeople release];
NSLog(#"\n");
}
And here´s the log output:
ID: 1
Name: The first user
Firma: (null)
Adresse: {
City = Reutlingen;
Country = Germany;
CountryCode = de;
Street = "some street";
ZIP = 23456;
}
Adresse: {
City = Reutlingen;
Country = Germany;
CountryCode = de;
State = BW;
Street = "Street number 2";
ZIP = 98765;
}
ID: 2
Name: The second contact
Firma: Firma
Adresse: {
Country = "United States";
CountryCode = us;
Street = Test;
}

here is how you get the address book values extracted:
ABMultiValueRef addresses = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonAddressProperty);
for (CFIndex j = 0; j<ABMultiValueGetCount(addresses);j++){
CFDictionaryRef dict = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(addresses, j);
CFStringRef typeTmp = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(addreses, j);
CFStringRef labeltype = ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(typeTmp);
NSString *street = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressStreetKey) copy];
NSString *city = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressCityKey) copy];
NSString *state = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressStateKey) copy];
NSString *zip = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressZIPKey) copy];
NSString *country = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressCountryKey) copy];
[street release];
[city release];
[state release];
[zip release];
[country release];
CFRelease(dict);
CFRelease(type);
CFRelease(typeTmp);
}
CFRelease(addresses);
the label type is what you are looking for.
good luck
