Retrieving contact names and phone numbers in Swift

I know this has been asked a lot, but I am struggling to find a complete solution and some of them are in Objective C

I managed to get this far

public static func refreshContacts(){
    let status = ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus()
    if status == .Denied || status == .Restricted {
        // user previously denied, to tell them to fix that in settings
        return
    }

    // open it

    var error: Unmanaged<CFError>?
    let addressBook: ABAddressBook? = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(nil, &error)?.takeRetainedValue()
    if addressBook == nil {
        println(error?.takeRetainedValue())
        return
    }

    // request permission to use it

    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook) {
        granted, error in

        if !granted {
            // warn the user that because they just denied permission, this functionality won't work
            // also let them know that they have to fix this in settings
            return
        }

        if let people = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook)?.takeRetainedValue() as? NSArray {
            for person in people{
                var name = //??????
                var phoneumber = //??????
            }

        }
    }
}

      

If you read the comment, you will see that there is one point where I'm not too sure what to do. How can I get the name and phone numbers?

I found a solution

public static func refreshContacts(){
    let status = ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus()
    if status == .Denied || status == .Restricted {
        // user previously denied, to tell them to fix that in settings
        return
    }

    // open it

    var error: Unmanaged<CFError>?
    let addressBook: ABAddressBook? = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(nil, &error)?.takeRetainedValue()
    if addressBook == nil {
        println(error?.takeRetainedValue())
        return
    }

    // request permission to use it

    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook) {
        granted, error in

        if !granted {
            // warn the user that because they just denied permission, this functionality won't work
            // also let them know that they have to fix this in settings
            return
        }

        if let people = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook)?.takeRetainedValue() as? NSArray {
            for person in people{
                if let name = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty).takeRetainedValue() as? String {
                    println(name)//persons name
                }
                let numbers:ABMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(
                    person, kABPersonPhoneProperty).takeRetainedValue()
                for ix in 0 ..< ABMultiValueGetCount(numbers) {
                    let label = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(numbers,ix).takeRetainedValue() as String
                    let value = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(numbers,ix).takeRetainedValue() as! String
                    println("Phonenumber \(label) is \(value))
                }
            }

        }
    }
}
