This will work on iOS6 and lower..

There could be different ways to retrieve AddressBook in IOS but one way which I use to retrieve addressbook is as follows, make sure you are using ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate You can open the AddressBook Controller on a button click like this

-(IBAction)getContact:(id)sender {
    // creating the picker
    ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
    // place the delegate of the picker to the controll
    picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;

    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}

after addressBook is presented you can use the delegate methods to receive the contact information as follows

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {

// setting the first name
firstNameTxt.text = (__bridge NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);

// setting the last name
lastNameTxt.text = (__bridge NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty);

// setting the number
/*
 this function will set the first number it finds

 if you do not set a number for a contact it will probably
 crash
 */
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
telefonTxt.text = (__bridge NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);

ABMultiValueRef multi1 = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
emailTxt.text = (__bridge NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi1, 0);


// remove the controller
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

return NO;

}

I think the problem is with you iOS version.... If you're using iOS 6.0 then ABAddressBookCreate() won't work... it is fine for iOS 5.1 or before.... so you can do like,

ABAddressBookRef addressBook;

if ([self isABAddressBookCreateWithOptionsAvailable])
{
    // iOS 6
    CFErrorRef error = nil;
    addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL,&error);

    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error)
                                             {
                                             });
    ABAddressBookRevert(addressBook);
}
else
{
    // iOS 4/5
    addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
}



-(BOOL)isABAddressBookCreateWithOptionsAvailable
{
    return &ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions != NULL;
}

By this you can get all contacts...:)
