Yes i got it, but what is the reason not getting contacts in previous

• (BOOL)testContacts
  {
  CFErrorRef error = NULL;

  ABAddressBookRef addressBook =
  ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, &error);
  if (addressBook != nil)
  {
  NSLog(@"Succesful.");

  NSArray *allContacts = (__bridge_transfer NSArray
                          *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
  

  if(allContacts.count > 0)
  return YES;
  else
  return NO;
  }
  return NO;
  }

  while([ABContactsHelper contacts] > 0)
  {
  NSLog(@"TRUE");
  }

    NSLog(@"FALSE");
  

i am just testing like this, but this code doesn't work some times not getting contacts. do you have any idea ??
