Adding Contacts to Address Book(IPhone) from VCard

Question

Hi, I need to add a contact in AddressBook of IPhone from the VCard i am getting from the server. Is there a way to do it in IPhone or i need to parse the Vcard file and create the IPhone contact from it. and i also need to send the contact in form of Vcard to the server. Is there a Framework or Api that do it.

Answer 1

The address book api is a PITA... This should help you:

For the official Apple doc, I am sure you are aware that Google can help, just search "iphone os address book api".

EDIT: Oops, I forgot to mention that you will have to parse the vcard file by yourself, no API for that in the iPhone OS. Check out the ccard project at Sourceforge (can not provide link due to stackoverflow's spam control).
