kABPersonPhoneProperty Only Detecting Home Phone Numbers

Question

I followed Apple's tutorial on obtaining a contact's phone number and it works great but it only detects phone numbers with the "Home" label. Here is my code:

- (void)displayPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
NSString* phone = nil;
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person,
                                                 kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) {
    phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)
    ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0);
} else {
phone = @"[None]";
}
self.contactNumber.text = phone;
CFRelease(phoneNumbers); }

Anyone know why it is doing this?

Answer 1

That's because this line

ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0);

tells it to get the first phone number, i.e "Home" number.
