LiveCode Forums.

Hello,

My company sells a very popular Address Book product for Windows that we're currently porting to the Mac using Livecode. I'm also interested in syncing iphone/ipad contacts with our software.

The built in mobilegetcontactdata and mobileaddcontact would probably allow me to do what I need, but the problem is they open the contact user interface function on the devices. I need a silent method for this.

Alternatively I read that the iphone contact database uses SQLite, but it appears the /private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook folder is not available for read or write.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If the built in contacts stuff doesn't do what you want then your would need an external. There was one done (more comprehensive than the engine imeplemenation) but it was never released by the developer due to lack of interest.

Cheers

Monte

Who was the developer? I'm very interested!

Mike Doub had it done by Chris Bohnert. Like I said though it didn't get released.

Any chance you can give me Chris's contact information? I tried to find him in the forums without success.

Never mind- google to the rescue. Apparently the search in the livecode forum is not complete.

Hi Wunder

Did you ever produce your App for Contacts on Mac? I was thinking of something similar as Contacts is so hard to work with...
