How do I get a user's email address (with permission) on iPhone?

Typing on iPhone is tedious; I'd like to prompt my users for their email address without requiring them to actually type it.

Ideally they'd receive a dialog saying: "This app would like to use your email address. Don't Allow / Allow"

If the user tapped "Allow," it would auto-fill their email address (the one they have configured in Mail.app) in a text field.

Is this possible?

Yes it is possible, have a look at ABGetMe for iOS. Note that you would have to write the allow/don’t allow dialog yourself. Also, make sure to read and understand the Limitations section of the README.

Nope. But you can load up the contact picker interface and ask the user to select themselves from it-- that's much more friendly than making them type it in.
