You can use it like this:
iPhoneAddressBook.RequestAccess(delegate(bool granted,
NSError error) {
//do something in here
//this is called back with granted = true if the user
allowed it.
});
This is an async call, so your app will continue to run until the user
says yes or no. Then the delegate gets called.
You dont need to show the dialog yourself - iOS does that for you. You
just need to handle when they say yes/no.
