Hey KMT, I haven't been able to get answers to my posts. What do I need to do about this? Daniel

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I would like to also like my iOS app to access a Note in the Notes app on an iOS device.

Did you ever figure this out an easier way than how Claude31 did it?

I noticed that at https://developer.apple.com/download/all/, there is a button at the bottom of the list that says "View More". I didn't see that before. It was easy to miss. When I continue to click on that button, I eventually find Xcode 10.1.

The sample iOS Swift project ManagingContacts found in Apple's Documentation Archive, uses both enumerateContacts(with:usingBlock:) and unifiedContact(withIdentifier:keysToFetch:). Understanding why they choose to use each when they do may help answer the question. The name "unifiedContacts" suggests it only fetches unified contacts, and does not fetch non-unified contacts that otherwise would meet the specified criteria, but it doesn't make sense to me why there would ever be a need for it or why it is used in the said project when it is used.

I want to convert this code in the answer to this stackoverflow post. I got as far as the line that creates an instance of CNFetchResult -- the fifth line not counting the spaces. I didn't know how to translate that to Swift.

@OOPer. I tried to write code in a post or a comment, and it wouldn't recognize a carriage-return, so the code shows as a long line of string that wraps at the end of each line in the text box, so I decided not to include the code. I tried also using the inline code feature, but that didn't seem to help. I will try again.

Here is my identical post on stackoverflow: iOS Contacts Framework Change History Data using Swift and Xcode 13. I just updated that post with what code I've tried to make. There is a post on stackoverflow similar to this, that had an answer with a code sample in Objective-C that effectively used CNFetchResult with CNContactStore enumeratorForChangeHistoryFetchRequest, but that function is only available for Objective-C. I just now sent a question to Apple Developer Support. I found somewhere someone saying they went to a WWDC and asked about this to someone from Apple and the person from Apple told him Apple will be supplying documentation in the future. I don't know how long ago that story happened. Do you know why there isn't current documentation on this?

This is the only code I've found using CNFetchResult: stackoverflow. It's the same post I put in my comment earlier. It's in Objective-C because it uses a function of CNContactStore that is only available in Objective-C. UPDATE: I deleted the code I put in this comment because I wasn't able to format it in any way worth trying to follow.

@OOPer The code still doesn't show formatted right in the comment. What do you suggest? I deleted the code in the comment above because it wasn't showing it formatted well. I put what code I've tried in my post of a similar question on stackoverflow. They are formatted well in that post.

I am resuming this thread because I have the same question as this one that I posted. I did a search on the Internet to answer a question and I found this old post that I posted. I think the problem is I don’t understand what you’re referring to when you say “console”. Is that an app on macOS? Wouldn’t I be able to get this information if the user installed the app using TestFlight? I think there’s things I haven’t thought through I don’t understand, so my question doesn’t really make sense.

That only fetches the contacts in the default container. Is there a way to fetch all the contacts in the entire store using CNContactStore instance method enumerateContacts(with:usingBlock:)?

Did you ever find an answer to this problem?

Anyone figure this out?

Hi. Did you ever figure this out? I found this thread at discussions.apple.com. It seems to say that when an iOS device is powered down and then powered on again, whatever app that was in the foreground when the device was turned off will show in the foreground again when it's powered on. Perhaps that fact opens up some options. I would like to know if anyone has found any leads to consider that might lead to a solution.
