This is what the code looks like:
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
ABRecordRef person = ABPersonCreate();
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, @”Kate” , nil);
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty, @”Hutson”, nil);
ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBook, person, nil);
ABAddressBookSave(addressBook, nil);
CFRelease(person);
