Michael,

Change the boolean to false on shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson. Doc reference attached below. I’ve been learning and coding-by-google-search for several days now, so I’m very happy to finally answer a question for someone else. I hope this helps you.

If the user selects a property, the people picker calls the method peoplePickerNavigationController:shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:property:identifier: of the delegate to determine if it should continue. To perform the default action (dialing a phone number, starting a new email, etc.) for the selected property, return YES. Otherwise return NO and dismiss the picker.

Michael, I haven’t experienced that before. I don’t know what you’re doing that would make that happen. I’d recommend posting some code on stackoverflow.com with the iPhone tag; that’s a little more visible than my blog and more likely to get answered well. Good luck!

Robert, it’s been a while since I wrote this, but I think you’re talking about this line:

NSArray *theArray = [(id)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(multi) autorelease];

This is for situations where the person has multiple addresses. Each item in the array is a dictionary.

Thanks for this – really helpful.

Was just wondering why you needed to create an array of keys and values and populate those from the dictionary? They don’t seem to be used anywhere else and you continue to use the dictionary directly to generate the address for display in the label.

Comment on Google Delivers Mac Google Earth API Plugin, But at What Cost? by DaveyJJ

In addition, for users who haven’t yet downloaded and run Google Earth 5, or for those who have and have removed the four files above from their system and want to reinstall GE5 but not get these items reinstalled, simply download GE5, install it (but don’t run it), and follow the following instructions …

Locate your copy of Google Earth, control-click on the application and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Now remove the following two files, based on starting at the top of the application bundle:

Contents/Frameworks/KeystoneRegistration.framework/Resources/install.py
Contents/Frameworks/KeystoneRegistration.framework/Resources/Keystone.tbz

The first file is the python script used to install the updater service, while the second is a tar-bzip’d bundle that contains the updater service. If the source files aren’t there, Google Earth will be incapable of installing the updater service, no matter what you tell/told it on first run.
