Answer 1

Andrei brother if you have not got answer still,I give you answer.I tried and got the solution.It works fine.
The AddressBookUI framework is deprecated in iOS 9, so we need to use Contact Framework.
First I set or hook up the tableView using XIB or Storyboard for showing contacts.
Must import the Contacts framework
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <Contacts/Contacts.h>
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate>
{
}
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITableView *tableViewShowContacts;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
{
NSMutableArray *arrayContacts;
}
#end
#implementation ViewController
#synthesize tableViewShowContacts;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
arrayContacts = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[self getAuthorizationandContact];
//Register the cell
[tableViewContactData registerClass:[UITableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"cell"];
[self.view addSubview:tableViewShowContacts];
}
-(void)fetchContactsandAuthorization
{
// Request authorization to Contacts
CNContactStore *store = [[CNContactStore alloc] init];
[store requestAccessForEntityType:CNEntityTypeContacts completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (granted == YES)
{
//keys with fetching properties
NSArray *keys = #[CNContactFamilyNameKey, CNContactGivenNameKey, CNContactPhoneNumbersKey, CNContactImageDataKey];
NSString *containerId = store.defaultContainerIdentifier;
NSPredicate *predicate = [CNContact predicateForContactsInContainerWithIdentifier:containerId];
NSError *error;
NSArray *cnContacts = [store unifiedContactsMatchingPredicate:predicate keysToFetch:keys error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"error fetching contacts %#", error);
} else {
NSString *phone;
NSString *fullName;
NSString *firstName;
NSString *lastName;
UIImage *profileImage;
NSMutableArray *contactNumbersArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (CNContact *contact in cnContacts)
{
// copy data to my custom Contacts class.
firstName = contact.givenName;
lastName = contact.familyName;
if (lastName == nil) {
fullName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",firstName];
}else if (firstName == nil){
fullName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",lastName];
}
else{
fullName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",firstName,lastName];
}
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:contact.imageData];
if (image != nil) {
profileImage = image;
}else{
profileImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"person-icon.png"];
}
for (CNLabeledValue *label in contact.phoneNumbers)
{
phone = [label.value stringValue];
if ([phone length] > 0) {
[contactNumbersArray addObject:phone];
}
}
NSDictionary* personDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: fullName,#"fullName",profileImage,#"userImage",phone,#"PhoneNumbers", nil];
[arrayContacts addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[personDict objectForKey:#"fullName"]]];
NSLog(#"The contacts are - %#",arrayContacts);
}
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[tableViewShowContacts reloadData];
});
}
}
}];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#pragma mark - UITableView Data Source Methods
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return arrayContacts.count;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *strCell = #"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:strCell];
if(cell==nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:strCell];
}
cell.textLabel.text = arrayContacts[indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
The printed results of Contacts are
The contacts are - (
"John Appleseed",
"Kate Bell",
"Anna Haro",
"Daniel Higgins",
"David Taylor",
"Hank Zakroff"
)
