PredicateWithBlock as predicate for ABPeoplePicker.predicateForEnablingPerson throws an exception

iOS8 introduced a new ABPeoplePicker customization scheme using NSPredicates. I needed more than the main predicate people could include for, so I tried using predicateWithBlock like this:

- (NSPredicate *)predicateForEnablingPerson
{
    return [NSPredicate predicateWithBlock:^BOOL(id evaluatedObject, NSDictionary *bindings)
    {
        return TRUE; // Just pass back true until we figure out why it crashing
    }];
}   

      

        
        
        
      

    

Nothing in this documentation about it is supported. Does anyone know why this is not working?
