I am retrieving contact's multiple addresses but only want Home address - ios

Question

Does anyone know how to retrieve the Home address from multiaddress in iOS? I have got permission from user and everything else but the problem is, I only want the Home address.
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
__block BOOL accessGranted = NO;
if (ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion != NULL) { // we're on iOS 6
dispatch_semaphore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
accessGranted = granted;
dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
});
dispatch_semaphore_wait(sema, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
dispatch_release(sema);
}
else { // we're on iOS 5 or older
accessGranted = YES;
}
if (accessGranted) {
CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
CFIndex nPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBook);
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for( int i = 0 ; i < nPeople ; i++ )
{
NSMutableDictionary *dic = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
ABRecordRef ref = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(allPeople, i );
// First Name
NSString *fName = (__bridge NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
// Last Name
NSString *lName = (__bridge NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
// Phone
ABMultiValueRef phoneMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
CFArrayRef allPhones = ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(phoneMultiValue);
NSMutableArray *phoneData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:(__bridge NSArray*) allPhones];
// Email
ABMultiValueRef emailMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonEmailProperty);
CFArrayRef allEmails = ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(emailMultiValue);
NSMutableArray *emailData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:(__bridge NSArray*) allEmails];
// Address
ABMultiValueRef addressMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonAddressProperty);
CFArrayRef allAddresses = ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(addressMultiValue);
NSMutableArray* addressData = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:(__bridge NSArray*) allAddresses];
for ( int j = 0 ; j < [addressData count]; j++) {
if ([[addressData objectAtIndex:j] count] > 0) {
if ([fName length] > 0 || [lName length] > 0) {
if ([fName length] > 0) {
[dic setObject:fName forKey:#"FirstName"];
}
if ([lName length] > 0) {
[dic setObject:lName forKey:#"LastName"];
}
if ([phoneData count] > 0) {
[dic setObject:phoneData forKey:#"MultiplePhoneNumbers"];
}
if ([emailData count] > 0) {
[dic setObject:emailData forKey:#"MultipleEmails"];
}
[dic setObject:addressData forKey:#"MultipleAddresses"];
}
}
}
NSUInteger keyCount = [[dic allKeys] count];
if (keyCount > 0) {
ABRecordID recId = ABRecordGetRecordID(ref);
[dic setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",recId] forKey:#"ABRecordRef"];
[dic setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",i] forKey:#"ab_id"];
[dic setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:FALSE] forKey:#"is_coordinate_fetch"];
[array addObject:dic];
}
I would really appreciate if anyone could take time and solve this for me.

You need to iterate through the kABPersonAddressProperty multivalue property and extract the one matching the kABHomeLabel identifier. Here is how you could do it in iOS 7 (assumes a reference to the address book):
NSArray *people = CFBridgingRelease(ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(localAddressBook));
// Iterate through each person in the Address Book
for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < people.count; i++)
{
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex((__bridge CFArrayRef)people, i);
// Access the person's addresses (a ABMultiValueRef)
ABMultiValueRef addressesProperty = CFAutorelease(ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressProperty));
if (addressesProperty)
{
// Iterate through the address multivalue
for (CFIndex index = 0; index < ABMultiValueGetCount(addressesProperty); index++)
{
// Get the address label
NSString *addressLabel = (NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(addressesProperty, index));
// Check for home address label
if ([addressLabel isEqualToString:(NSString *)kABHomeLabel])
{
// Your code here
NSLog(#"%#", addressLabel);
}
}
}
}

There is no single solution to this problem. What I did in my app to do this was as follows:
1) If the person just had one address, use that.
2) If there was more than one address, using cells that had the name and the first address, and a button that said "Select different Address". If the user taps that button, animate up a sheet where the user sees another table of all addresses, and can choose the one they want.
