iOS 8 requires a new delegate method be implemented for this:
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
}
Keep the old delegate method in place to support iOS 7 or earlier. What I do in my app is call the iOS 7 delegate method from the iOS 8 delegate method:
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
[self peoplePickerNavigationController:peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:person property:property identifier:identifier];
}
If this delegate method isn’t implemented in iOS 8, tapping the value causes the action. When implemented, the delegate is called instead with the selected value.
