// You may add more "keys" to fetch referred to official documentation
let keysToFetch = [CNContactFormatter.descriptorForRequiredKeysForStyle(.FullName)]
// The container means
// that the source the contacts from, such as Exchange and iCloud
var allContainers: [CNContainer] = []
do {
allContainers = try contactStore.containersMatchingPredicate(nil)
} catch {
print("Error fetching containers")
}
print (allContainers.count)
if u want to check valid input for search
var contacts: [CNContact] = []
for container in allContainers {
let fetchPredicate = CNContact.predicateForContactsInContainerWithIdentifier(container.identifier)
do {
let containerResults = try contactStore.unifiedContactsMatchingPredicate(fetchPredicate, keysToFetch: keysToFetch)
// Put them into "contacts"
contacts.appendContentsOf(containerResults)
} catch {
print("Error fetching results for container")
}
}
print (containerResults.count)
