Read VCFCard from QR Code?

Question

I want to ask if is it possible to read VCF Card as CNContact data like givenName, familyName...

This is my QR Code Scanner output function

  func captureOutput(_ captureOutput: AVCaptureOutput!, didOutputMetadataObjects metadataObjects: [Any]!, from connection: AVCaptureConnection!) {

    if metadataObjects == nil || metadataObjects.count == 0 {
        qrCodeFrameView?.frame = CGRect.zero
        messageLabel.text = "No QR/barcode is detected"
        return
    }


    let metadataObj = metadataObjects[0] as! AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject

    if supportedCodeTypes.contains(metadataObj.type) {
        let barCodeObject = videoPreviewLayer?.transformedMetadataObject(for: metadataObj)
        qrCodeFrameView?.frame = barCodeObject!.bounds

        if metadataObj.stringValue != nil {
            messageLabel.text = metadataObj.stringValue
        }
    }
}

printed output

"

I cannot test with your QR Code, but this would be some help:

        if
            let metadataString = metadataObj.stringValue,
            let data = metadataString.data(using: .utf8)
        {
            do {
                let contacts = try CNContactVCardSerialization.contacts(with: data)
                print(contacts)
                //Use `contacts` as you like
                if let contact = contacts.first {
                    print(contact.givenName)
                    //...
                }
                //...
            } catch {
                //Unreadable as CNContact
                print(error)
                //...
            }
        } else {
            //May never happen...
        }
