Your frined is ABAddressBook: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserExperience/Reference/AddressBook/Classes/ABAddressBook_Class/Reference/Reference.html It has (NSArray *)people that returns you all contacts. You can use that as the source for your table. I do not have complete sample code available but I think that is not the point of Stack Overflow. Search here at SO to find how to implement UITableView.

As I wrote: ABAddressBook gives you the instance method "people" that returns you an array of contacts. – Krumelur Sep 26 '11 at 10:49

Here is the solution that you are looking for. In that, you will get required data from the method -(void)collectContacts.

Yeah, I got the solution...

Use this code

// creating the picker
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
// place the delegate of the picker to the controll
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;

// showing the picker
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:NO];
// releasing
[picker release];

and It will display all contacts from iPhone as shown in figure..but not display that type of view in simulator..you have to run it in device...

Happy Coding...
