Hi, how can I get access to the 'digits' value? when i do a NSLog of 'phoneNumbers' i get this on console:
2015-10-19 12:33:41.423 testContacts[7064:2001002] (
"<CNLabeledValue: 0x7b72eed0: identifier=A73ABAA0-7698-47D7-A2BD-630E04C0C811, label=_$!<Mobile>!$_, value=<CNPhoneNumber: 0x7b734db0: countryCode=us, digits=8885555512>>",
"<CNLabeledValue: 0x7b72eb80: identifier=BC927A1D-AA98-4E67-82A9-BB5AD09A6CAE, label=_$!<Home>!$_, value=<CNPhoneNumber: 0x7b72ecd0: countryCode=us, digits=8885551212>>"

Answer 1

If the phone number is localized with phone characters like 1 (234) 456-78, stringValue returns exactly that string.
To obtain the digits, the correct code (in Swift) is
(contact.phoneNumbers[0].value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as! String

Answer 2

The digits are a private variable.
For getting a phone number:
CNLabeledValue<CNPhoneNumber*>* labeledValue = contact.phoneNumbers[0];
NSString *phone = labeledValue.value.stringValue;
E.g. to get a mobile number:
// get mobile
NSString *phone = nil;
for (CNLabeledValue<CNPhoneNumber*>* labeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers)
{
if ([labeledValue.label isEqualToString:CNLabelPhoneNumberMobile])
{
phoneNumber = labeledValue.value.stringValue;
break;
}
}

Answer 3

This worked for me in Swift 2.1. / Xcode 7.2. and iOS 9.2.1.
import ContactsUI
Import the contacts framework at the bottom of your file
Get your contacts from your addressBook
This is my example:
let contacts = XXXContactsAccessManagerM.sharedContacts.getAll()
Add this code to the class Model or ViewController in which you are working
for var ctcCtr = 0 ; ctcCtr < contacts.count ; ctcCtr++
{
let contact = contacts[ctcCtr]
let phoneNumbers = contact.phoneNumbers
for var phnCtr = 0 ; phnCtr < phoneNumbers.count ; phnCtr++
{
let phoneNumberLabel = phoneNumbers[phnCtr]
let phoneNumber = (phoneNumberLabel.value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as! String
print(phoneNumber)
}
}
I got a normal phone number, the exact way I wrote them in my phone book 097XXXXXXX and so on... (with out hte (XXX) and XXX-XXX)

Answer 4

Using KPKContacts package was simple as calling
contact.firstNumberAvailable() which returns a String value
or you can do contact.numbers.first!.number

Answer 5

This code very helpful for getting both Phone number value and phone number label in swift 3.1
let ContactNumber: NSString = (phoneNumber.value).value(forKey:"digits") as! NSString
print(ContactNumber)
let localizedLabel = CNLabeledValue<NSString>.localizedString(forLabel: phoneNumber.label!)
print(localizedLabel)
