Answer 1

First you know how to fetch contacts.now every contact you need to add Xmpp Roaster.like below call this method called at your contact fetching class.

[[self appDelegate] addNewBuddyToMyAccount:tempNumber withNickName:[[tempContactList objectAtIndex:i] fullname]]; //in my terms tempNumber is the phone number that is JID.

in your xmpp class follow below code to add to roster NSString * buddyNameJID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@@serverName",buddyUserID]; XMPPJID *jid = [XMPPJID jidWithString:buddyNameJID]; //if you don't need permission then use below line otherwise comment [[self xmppRoster] acceptPresenceSubscriptionRequestFrom:jid andAddToRoster:YES]; //here we are adding our contact to our roster then check once in roaster in openfire [[self xmppRoster] addUser:jid withNickname:nickName]; NSString * buddyNameJID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@@serverName",buddyUserID]; XMPPJID *jid = [XMPPJID jidWithString:buddyNameJID]; //if you don't need permission then use below line otherwise comment [[self xmppRoster] acceptPresenceSubscriptionRequestFrom:jid andAddToRoster:YES]; //here we are adding our contact to our roster then check once in roaster in openfire [[self xmppRoster] addUser:jid withNickname:nickName];

hope this helps.
