Thank you for the tutorial. I wonder whether the Contacts framework can be used for the following case: a project management app that has a staff database. Can it be used for that?

@macandyp Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

If you’re wanting to import contacts into your application’s own database, yes. If you’re trying to use it solely to back your database, that’s probably not a good idea.

Hello. Thank you for great tutorial. But if I want also import birthday date from contacts? I mean CNContactBirthdayKey. How I can do this?

6

@macandyp Do you have any feedback about this? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

You can simply add CNContactBirthdayKey to the array of keys passed to unifiedContacts(matching:keysToFetch:). The fetched CNContact will have an optional birthday property (as DateComponents)
