iOS 9: get CNContact country code and phone number

Question

I want to get the country code and phone number from CNContact on iOS 9. I tried many things but couldn't find a way. The best result I achieved is printing:

<CNPhoneNumber: 0x7f886389a140: countryCode=us, digits=5555648583>

Here's how I do that:

func contactPicker(picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelectContact contact: CNContact) {
    print(contact.phoneNumbers.count)
    for number: CNLabeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers {
        print(number.value)
    }
}

What I want is the values for countryCode and digits. Any ideas how to access them in Swift? Thanks!

Answer 1

Unfortunately you can't get them since they are private.

let numberValue = number.value

let countryCode = numberValue.valueForKey("countryCode") as? String
let digits = numberValue.valueForKey("digits") as? String

This works but if you do something in this lines your app will most likely be rejected.

You can see all the nice stuff you could use here .

If you don't plan on uploading your app to the store the solution above is OK, otherwise I'd stick with some kind of regex knowing it can break in the future:

countryCode=(\w{2}),.*digits=(.+)>$

Answer 2

Objective-C:

[number.value valueForKey:@"countryCode"]

Swift:

number.value.valueForKey("countryCode") as? String

valueForKey is not private, and your app will not get rejected.

Answer 3

They two members can be accessed via valueForKey :

let countryCode = number.valueForKey("countryCode") as? String
let digits = number.valueForKey("digits") as? String

Please note that due to the fact that these two fields are part of a private API, there's no guarantee that in the future versions of the Contacts framework they won't be removed/replaced.

/* Get only first mobile number */

    let MobNumVar = (contact.phoneNumbers[0].value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as! String
    print(MobNumVar)

/* Get all mobile number */

    for ContctNumVar: CNLabeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers
    {
        let MobNumVar  = (ContctNumVar.value as! CNPhoneNumber).valueForKey("digits") as? String
        print(MobNumVar!)
    }

/* Get mobile number with mobile country code */

    for ContctNumVar: CNLabeledValue in contact.phoneNumbers
    {
        let FulMobNumVar  = ContctNumVar.value as! CNPhoneNumber
        let MccNamVar = FulMobNumVar.valueForKey("countryCode") as? String
        let MobNumVar = FulMobNumVar.valueForKey("digits") as? String

        print(MccNamVar!)
        print(MobNumVar!)
    }

fetch contacts without country code, spaces ,braces and dash  from contacts book with contact picker and textfield both 
*********** without country code

 import ContactsUI
 var phoneString:String!

    func contactPicker(_ picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelect contact: CNContact) {
            let numbers = contact.phoneNumbers.first
            let a = (numbers?.value)?.stringValue ?? ""
            let myString = a
            let formattedString = myString.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
            let newFormattedString = formattedString.replacingOccurrences(of: "(", with: "")
            let formatstring = newFormattedString.replacingOccurrences(of: ")", with: "")
            let  last10  = formatstring.replacingOccurrences(of: "-", with: "")
            phoneString = String(last10.suffix(10))
            phonetextField.text = phoneString
            
        }
        
        func contactPickerDidCancel(_ picker: CNContactPickerViewController) {
            self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
       @IBAction func inviteButton(_ sender : Any)
        {
            if phoneString == nil{
                phoneString =  phonetextField.text! //fetching from phonetextfield
                Phone = phoneString
            }
            else  {
                Phone = phoneString //fetching from phone contacts
            
            }
          }

To get Country code you can use this:

(contact.phoneNumbers[0].value ).value(forKey: "countryCode") as! String

in for loop, and key; "digits" is to get full phone number.
