How can I create a CNContact with a CNPostalAddress?

Question

I tried this:

    let contact = CNMutableContact()
    contact.namePrefix = data["firstName"] as! String
    contact.nameSuffix = data["lastName"] as! String
    contact.organizationName = data["company"] as! String
    contact.jobTitle = data["jobTitle"] as! String

    let address = CNMutablePostalAddress()
    address.street = data["street"] as! String
    address.city = data["city"] as! String
    address.state = data["state"] as! String
    address.postalCode = data["zipcode"] as! String
    address.country = data["country"] as! String

    contact.postalAddresses = [address]

And I received this error:

Cannot convert value of type 'CNMutablePostalAddress' to expected element type 'CNLabeledValue<CNPostalAddress>'

So, I tried this:

let contact = CNMutableContact()
    contact.namePrefix = data["firstName"] as! String
    contact.nameSuffix = data["lastName"] as! String
    //contact.birthday =
    contact.organizationName = data["company"] as! String
    contact.jobTitle = data["jobTitle"] as! String

    let street = CNLabeledValue(label: "street", value:data["street"] as! NSString)
    let city = CNLabeledValue(label: "city", value:data["city"] as! NSString)
    let state = CNLabeledValue(label: "state", value:data["state"] as! NSString)
    let postalCode = CNLabeledValue(label: "zipcode", value:data["zipcode"] as! NSString)
    let country = CNLabeledValue(label: "country", value:data["country"] as! NSString)

    contact.postalAddresses = [street, city, state, postalCode, country]

And I received this error:

 Cannot convert value of type 'CNLabeledValue<NSString>' to expected element type 'CNLabeledValue<CNPostalAddress>'

And I don't know how to create CNLabeledValue<CNPostalAddress>.

Do you know the right way to create a CNContact with a CNPostalAddress?

Answer 1

You are mistaking the usage of CNLabeledValue. Try this:

let contact = CNMutableContact()
contact.namePrefix = data["firstName"] as! String
contact.nameSuffix = data["lastName"] as! String
contact.organizationName = data["company"] as! String
contact.jobTitle = data["jobTitle"] as! String

let address = CNMutablePostalAddress()
address.street = data["street"] as! String
address.city = data["city"] as! String
address.state = data["state"] as! String
address.postalCode = data["zipcode"] as! String
address.country = data["country"] as! String

let labeledAddress = CNLabeledValue<CNPostalAddress>(label: CNLabelHome, value: address) //<- You can create other `CNLabeledValue<CNPostalAddress>`s with other `CNLabelXxxx`s or your custom label.

contact.postalAddresses = [labeledAddress]
