Robert La Ferla commented on CB-223:
------------------------------------
I think there needs to be an additional set of API methods for dealing with
groups/categories independent of the individual contact.
e.g.
(1) get a list of groups/categories
(2) get a list of contacts for a specific group/category.
I think this approach can work cross-platform or at least rounds out the
current API to give access to this needed functionality yet maintains some
level of platform independence.

> Key: CB-223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-223
> Project: Apache Callback
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Environment: iOS
> Reporter: Robert La Ferla
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: addressbook, categories, contacts, groups, ios
>
> Contacts on iOS are organized by group. There is the default group "All
> Contacts" plus any custom groups that the user set up. Contacts retrieved by
> Apache Cordova / phonegap do not contain which group they are in.
> CONTACT CATEGORIES PROPERTY
> I believe that iOS groups are analogous to phonegap contact categories and
> thus should be mapped to them. If not, another property should be created.
> From the Cordova docs:
> "categories: An array of all the contacts user defined categories.
> (ContactField[])"
> IOS IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
> In the iOS AddressBook API, the function ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllGroups()
> gets the list of groups.
