Reloading/changing displayed person with ABPersonViewController on iOS7

I have a class which contains an ABPersonViewController child view controller. Until iOS7, I was able to pass the setDisplayedPerson: message several times, updating or replacing the displayed information. However, with iOS7, once the viewDidLoad fires for the ABPersonViewController child view controller, any subsequent calls to setDisplayedPerson: are seemingly ignored.

I could replace the child view controller with another, and even animate the transition between them, but this is very inelegant.

There is an open radar for this: rdar://14682982

Anyone seen this?

Edit: The issue has been solved with iOS8 beta 1.

I've been dealing with the same issue. My current solution is to have the ABPersonViewController as a property (I need it in several places) with delayed instantiation, and I set it to nil before using it. In this way I always have a new one to use.

As a temporary workaround, if ABPersonViewController is already presented, you can get ABContactViewController via self.navigationController.topViewController.childViewControllers.firstObject and call reloadData: to reload displayed person info.
