How do I get a user's email address (with permission) on iPhone?

Question

Typing on iPhone is tedious; I'd like to prompt my users for their email address without requiring them to actually type it.

Ideally they'd receive a dialog saying: "This app would like to use your email address. Don't Allow / Allow"

If the user tapped "Allow," it would auto-fill their email address (the one they have configured in Mail.app) in a text field.

Is this possible?

Nope. But you can load up the contact picker interface and ask the user to select themselves from it-- that's much more friendly than making them type it in.
