Cannot drag vCard from Apple's Address Book to app in Mac OS X Lion

Question

I'm working on an Objective-C app that is Mac OS X Lion only. I'm trying to accept drag & drops from Address Book. It looks like in Lion, Address Book vCard representations are not returning any data. Unfortunately I cannot test the code under a previous OS, though I had found sample code suggesting that it was possible before.

I setup my table to receive kUTTypeVCard like the docs suggest for 10.6+ (though NSVCardPboardType works, too) and I do receive the drop event. So to debug I setup a loop to output the data types and their values from the drop: 

- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView acceptDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info row:(NSInteger)row dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation
{
    NSPasteboard *pb = [info draggingPasteboard];

    NSArray *types = pb.types;
    for (NSString *type in types)
    {
        NSLog(@" ");
        NSLog(@"%@:", type);
        NSLog(@"    property list = %@", [pb propertyListForType:type]);
        NSLog(@"    data = %@", [pb dataForType:type]);
        NSLog(@"    string = %@", [pb stringForType:type]);
    }
    NSLog(@" ");

    return YES;
}

The results are as follows:

Most of the types looks like private Address Book data types. But you can see that the vCard representations are null. And I'm thinking that even if I used ABPeopleUIDsPboardType , it would get rejected from the App Store because it's not available in any header file.

Any suggestion in how to handle a drag & drop from Address Book under Lion?

Thanks.

* Edit 2/5/12 *

Tried researching promised drags and promised contents, but still coming up empty: 

- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView acceptDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info row:(NSInteger)row dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation
{
    NSPasteboard *pb = [info draggingPasteboard];

    // Supposed to call this before readFileContentsType:toFile: for some reason
    NSArray *types = pb.types;

    NSString *destPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();
    NSURL *destURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:destPath isDirectory:YES];
    NSArray *fileNames = [info namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination:destURL];
    NSLog(@"fileNames = %@", fileNames);

    NSString *afile = [pb readFileContentsType:nil toFile:@"random_filename"];
    // Tried with (NSString *)kUTTypeVCard as well, same results
    NSLog(@"afile = %@", afile);
    // What do I do with this result?
    NSString *card = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:afile];
    NSLog(@"card = %@", card);

    NSFileWrapper *wrapper = [pb readFileWrapper];
    NSLog(@"wrapper = %@", wrapper);

    return YES;
}

Results: 

2012-02-05 12:36:58.419 MyAppName[3650:60b] fileNames = (null)
2012-02-05 12:36:58.419 MyAppName[3650:60b] afile = random_filename
2012-02-05 12:36:58.419 MyAppName[3650:60b] card = (null)

I run also into this issue. Summary for readers.

On 10.7 register for NSFilesPromisePboardType and kUTTypeVCard. Process NSFilesPromisePboardType.

On 10.8+ register for kUTTypeVCard and process kUTTypeVCard

You are right, the AddressBook changed its Pasteboard behavior from former OS versions to Lion. Formerly the vCard data were directly stored in the pasteboard with type NSVCardPboardType. But also in Lion you can find all informations to read a dropped vCard.

There are two ways to deal with a pasteboard. The 'direct' way and a 'dialog' way. (My words, not Apple's). In the direct way all data are put to the pasteboard, where the receiver finds them and can read them. Sometimes it is very time and space consuming, when the data are big as is very often with images or long text (RTFD with images). Therefore another way exists, which needs a small dialog between sender and receiver. The sender (of the drag operation) puts (nearly) no data to the pasteboard but promises to store the data somewhere in the filesystem. The receiver (of the drag operation) has to tell where this place (a folder) should be. The answer from the sender is then the name of the newly created file(s) so the receiver can read the data from this file. All this should be done in the method -(BOOL)performDragOperation:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)sender . But if the drop is done over a tableView, outLineView, browser etc. you need to implement another method. Search for acceptDrop: in the documentation. Essentially they do all the same.

In your case (drop over a tableView) the following (pseudo-)code will (I hope so) do the job: 

- (BOOL)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView acceptDrop:(id < NSDraggingInfo >)info row:(NSInteger)row dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation
{
    NSPasteBoard *pb = [info draggingPasteboard];

    NSArray *types = pb.types;

    if( ([types containsObject: NSVCardPboardType]) && *data_exist for this type* ){
       // read the data directly from here
       . . . . 
       return YES;
    }

    if( [types containsObject:NSFilesPromisePboardType] ){
      // create a place for the promised data
      NSString *destPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();
      NSURL *destURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:destPath isDirectory:YES];
      // let the sender know it
      // the sender answers with filenames (without the path)
      NSArray *fileNames = [sender namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination:destURL];
      if( fileNames == nil ) return NO;  // Firefox likes to return nothing
      NSString *resultStr = [destPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[fileNames objectAtIndex:0]];
      // read the vCard data from here
         . . . . . 
      return YES;
    }
    // search for other pbTypes or just return  without success
    return NO;
}

As you can see in your log of all types on the pasteBoard, the type NSFilesPromisePboardType (the internal name is Apple files promise pasteboard type ) has a nonempty propertyList which simply says that data are of type vcf (file suffix). To use this pbType is the new way AddressBook works. This is btw the preferred way to send data to the finder.

I do not know why you had no success, but I have a question: Did you register your tableView for NSFilesPromisePboardType ? Otherwise it doesn't work! I will now show a code snippet from one of my apps which is tested and which works: 

- (BOOL)  tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
         acceptDrop:(id <NSDraggingInfo>)info
                row:(NSInteger)row
      dropOperation:(NSTableViewDropOperation)operation
{
    NSPasteboard *pboard = [info draggingPasteboard];
    NSArray *types = pboard.types;

    if( [types containsObject:NSFilesPromisePboardType] ){
        NSString *destPath = NSTemporaryDirectory();  // or whatever you want
        NSURL *destURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:destPath isDirectory:YES];
        NSLog(@"destURL %@", destURL);
        NSArray *fileNames = [info namesOfPromisedFilesDroppedAtDestination:destURL];
        NSLog(@"fileNames %@", fileNames);
        if( fileNames == nil ) return NO;
        NSString *resultPath = [destPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[fileNames objectAtIndex:0]];
        NSLog(@"resultPath %@", resultPath);
        // read the vCard data from here
        NSString *vCard = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:resultPath
                                                    encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
                                                       error:NULL];
        NSLog(@"vCard =\n%@", vCard);
        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}

The test output is; 

destURL file://localhost/var/folders/j2/78r9kp_d08gc52z04w2dwkv80000gn/T/
fileNames (
    "Heinrich Giesen 2.vcf"
)
resultPath /var/folders/j2/78r9kp_d08gc52z04w2dwkv80000gn/T/Heinrich Giesen 2.vcf
vCard =
BEGIN:VCAR
VERSION:3.0

. . . and so on. ending with 

END:VCARD
