I don't see any mention of the CNContact being deprecated: https://developer.apple.com/reference/contacts/cncontact

Sorry, i mean contact but i use addressbooks, and some are used in the mContacts object that i was using previously.

ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus : https://developer.apple.com/reference/addressbook/1622002-abaddressbookgetauthorizationsta
ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions : https://developer.apple.com/reference/addressbook/1621991-abaddressbookcreatewithoptions
ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllGroups : https://developer.apple.com/reference/addressbook/1616131-abaddressbookcopyarrayofallgroup
All are tagged deprecated.. and it seems it kills my app.

On a IOS 9.3.5 all of these functions runs fine.
With XCode IOS 10 Simulator these functions are now shutting down the app.
No idea if this is true on REAL DEVICE or only with the simulator.

Any idea ? advise ?

You should use iContacts library: iContacts + ContactsUtils - Read and write to the contacts store

Thanks a lot for your fast anwers.

It looks OK concerning contacts cards.
What about the "groups" ? i read "Groups are currently not implemented" in the february posts.
Any suggestion ? i can live with C/C++/ObjectiveC but i'm lost in the Apple decorative docs.

Groups are not yet implemented. It is possible that you can extend iContactsUtils to support getting or setting groups.

Ok, i ve parsed your posts and will use the "new" contact framework added with IOS 9 ( https://developer.apple.com/reference/contacts?language=objc ).
The source code of iContactsUtils is available ?

Your iContactsUtils sample allow me to validate that my XCODE IOS 10 simulator have a bug with CNContactStore... so THANKS A LOT you save hours !
(it runs well with the 9.3 Simulator as well with my phone)
