Description
Queries all contacts.You an get the list unified, so contacts in several accounts are merged.
Or you get list of all contacts with those merged which appear in multiple accounts.
Seems like Addressbook.people and CNContactStore.Contacts with unifyResults = 0 is the same list.
Examples
Query names for all contacts:
While(
[
names = "";
// query list of contacts IDs
list = MBS( "CNContactStore.Contacts"; 1 );
count = ValueCount(list);
index = 1
] ;
index ≤ count ;
[
id = GetValue(list; index);
// query name for each ID
name = MBS( "CNContact.Name"; id);
names = names & name & ¶;
index = index + 1
] ;
// return all the names
names )
