I'm wondering if someone could direct me to an article that explains how to access the address book contacts in the form that Address Book on the desktop can read.
Thanks for any help!
In the stanford uni lectures on iPhone development there is a lecture dedicated
to using the address book. These can be accessed via iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Here is a thread I saw on MacRumors that looks promising:
Accessing Address Book in iPhone SDK?
Apple now has an official guide as part of the iOS Reference Library:

I wrote a small how-to many moons ago.

I am new to objective-c. It is even hard for me to understand how to write the methods given in Apple documentation. As I am a beginner I need suggestion from people who can understand my situation. I want to become a IPhone application developer.
Give me your mail id, I will forward you some reading material. First you need to learn Objective-C, not in details, but basic syntax atleast. Then you move to simple Hello World iPhone Application. You will pick up soon then.

A good place to start is with Stanford's Developing Apps for iOS course.
Apple-provided documentation:
Introduction to The Objective-C Programming Language
Your First iOS Application
Getting Started with iOS
iOS Memory Management Guide
View Controller Programming Guide
Table View Guide
iTunes U
iTunes U: Stanford — Developing Apps for iOS by Paul Hegarty

I was wondering what would be the steps I need to follow if I am just an individual looking to write my own apps and get it approved by apple to feature on their store. Also, is it just objective-c I need to learn or what other skills would I require ?
What would be a good tutorial or a place to start ? What are the tools I require? I found this but still for those of you developing there...I would appreciate any help sorry if this was too generic..all I want is good direction..
Personally I think that books are a good way to learn. For example, here are a few:

You will need:
An Intel Mac
XCode
A $99 developer fee if you want to actually build for a device/put it on the actual device
I recently started with iPhone app development in school. I read the Head First iPhone book which was a decent start just to get into it. I highly recommend the iPhone lecture series from Stanford University available for free on iTunes U.
I agree with Andrew M - but would add that Apple's sample code is a good way to learn by example. You can look at code and reference material without becoming an iOS Developer.

You can do a lot in the iPhone Simulator but at some point you will need to pony up $99 (per year) to start testing on devices.
I want to be able to let users of my iPhone app communicate using the GKVoiceChatClient classes. The documentation for the 3.0 SDK is very vague and I don't see any good samples in the Sample Code either.
Can someone please tell me where I can find some working example of in-game voice using which I can learn how to use it!
Thanks.
You'll need an account on the Apple Developer forums, but I stumbled across this a little while ago. I don't know if its functional but comments further along in the thread lead me to believe it is.

Can anyone give me a short version of what it takes to develop an app which connects to an accessory? I signed up to the 'made for ipod' program and got a huge pile of technical specifications docs which I have no idea how to start with.
Any help would be appreciated.

Reading the accessory section in Apple's iPhone app programming guide is probably a great place to start, and includes links to other, more formidable, documentation.
I need a list, or sg. like it about upcoming iPhone developer events...can someone help me?

I've written a blog post with a summary of iPhone & Mac conferences I found around the world... by no means authoritative nor complete I'm sure, but I hope it can be of help:
