                                         {
                                             if (granted)
                                             {
                                                 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

Answer 1

First pick the required contact:

    - (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController*)peoplePicker
  shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
     {
      [self peoplePickerNavigationController:peoplePicker didSelectPerson:person];
      return NO;

}

Refer this: for setting and getting first name and last name

  ABRecordRef aRecord = ABPersonCreate();
  CFErrorRef anError = NULL;
  bool didSet;

  didSet = ABRecordSetValue(aRecord, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, CFSTR("Katie"), &anError);
   if (!didSet) {/* Handle error here. */}

    didSet = ABRecordSetValue(aRecord, kABPersonLastNameProperty, CFSTR("Bell"), &anError);
    if (!didSet) {/* Handle error here. */}

   CFStringRef firstName, lastName;
   firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(aRecord, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
   lastName  = ABRecordCopyValue(aRecord, kABPersonLastNameProperty);

    /* ... Do something with firstName and lastName. ... */

   CFRelease(aRecord);
   CFRelease(firstName);
   CFRelease(lastName);
