iOS ContactsUI Framework Permissions

Question

I'm fetching contacts using CNContactPickerViewController, and it seems that iOS doesn't automatically ask me for access permissions.

Do I really need permissions for using CNContactPickerViewController or do I need to request for permissions manually?

If I need permissions for this, will my app get rejected if I submit this app to the App Store and if I did not ask for Contacts permissions?

Note: There is nothing stated in the ContactsUI Framework documentation.

Answer 1

Permission is not required when using CNContactPickerViewController.

The documentation for CNContactPickerViewController states:

The app using contact picker view does not need access to the user’s contacts and the user will not be prompted for “grant permission” access. The app has access only to the user’s final selection.
