Address Book iOS Import/Export

Question

I want to move contacts from an iPhone 3G to a new iPhone. I was wondering if it's feasible to write a little app, to rip the whole address book on the 3G onto a file or DB, then use the same app to inject the contacts on her new phone?

I know this would never be approved by Apple etc, this is not for the store, just for my personal use.

So I'm wondering about feasibility, and if anyone has any experience pulling contacts via API's in the iOS SDK?

Answer 1

You can but it's a lot of effort for something that iCloud was invented for ... lol Or use the app @RUJordan suggested.

Use iTunes sync ? If you're really set on making an app then look at ABAdressBook Framework. It won't be a quick project or fun ! I found ABAdressBook a nightmare but I was doing some very custom stuff with it.
