Open Address Book and select a phone number of a contact which is having multiple numbers in iOS

I am developing a dialer application in XCode. In my application there is a button to pickup phone numbers from AddressBook. When a user click on that button I need to open the original iOS AddressBook and the user must be able to select a contact. If the contact has multiple numbers saved, the user should be able to select the number he need. After selection the number should be displayed in a UITextField. I have seen the same option in Skype Application.

Thanks in advance.

This is not possible to my knowledge. You'll have to fetch the contacts yourself and present them. My guess is that the apps you have seen that you think does this is simply just skinning the views as in the iOS Contacts app.

Have a look at https://github.com/Alterplay/APAddressBook for a convenient and easy-to-use wrapper around the Contacts API.
