UIAlertView and Requesting Access to Addressbook - ios

Question

if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
if (granted) {
// First time access has been granted, add the contact
[self prepareContactsIDs];
} else {
UIAlertView *accessDenied = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Need Access to Addressbook" message:#"KeepItClean requires an access to addressbook in order to be usable" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[accessDenied show];
}
});
}
else if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
// The user has previously given access, add the contact
if ([self isFirstRun]) {
[self prepareContactsIDs];
}
}
else {
// The user has previously denied access
// Send an alert telling user to change privacy setting in settings app
UIAlertView *accessDenied = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Need Access to Addressbook" message:#"KeepItClean requires an access to addressbook in order to be usable" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[accessDenied show];
}
There is something i don't understand here, when the user is prompted to give access, if he taps cancel, i don't get my 2nd UIAlertView showing up, the (accessDenied) alert view.
Also i feel there is something i don't understand that is related to dispatching and queues.

Try this
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePicker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
peoplePicker.peoplePickerDelegate= self;
ABAddressBookRef UsersAddressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);
if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus()!= kABAuthorizationStatusDenied)
{
//Show alert of access
}
else
{
//Show alert of access denied
}
