Issue while pushing ABNewPersonViewController

I am using AddressBookUI Framework for Adding contact, when I tried to pushing this view controller then cancel and done button not working properly, I don't want to present it

Here is my code

ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:abnpvc animated:YES];

I am also tried add as subview rather then pushing it but when I am adding as subview then it was not added

As per comment i have tried like 

UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentViewController:navigation animated:YES completion:nil];

Can anyone help me out why properly not working ?

Apple guideline(IMPORTANT) :: New-person view controllers must be used with a navigation controller in order to function properly. It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.

Add Delegate

@interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>

Pushing the viewController

ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:abnpvc];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

And Now Add Delegate Method

#pragma mark ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate methods

- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonViewController didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}

That will work fine.

You can implement that too considering also the other answers and the deprecations to ABNewPersonViewController in iOS 9.

As per your remarks:

cancel and done button not working properly

They are working if you have included the ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate on interface like this:

@interface ViewController () <ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate>

Pushing the viewController on navigation stack like this:

ABNewPersonViewController *controller = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
controller.newPersonViewDelegate = self;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

And by conforming to the protocol by implementing this method:

- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonView didCompleteWithNewPerson:(nullable ABRecordRef)person {
    // Trick to go back to your view by popping it from the navigation stack when done or cancel button is pressed
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

The tricky line is to pop the newPersonController from the navigation stack when either Done or Cancel button are pressed.

Enjoy it

Why can't you just do it as the docs say?

It is recommended that you present a new-person view controller modally.

Use

ABNewPersonViewController *abnpvc = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] init];
[abnpvc setNewPersonViewDelegate: self];
[self presentViewController:abnpvc animated:YES completion:nil];

That should work fine.

Edit

On second thought, did you set your delegate correctly and do the implementations get called? I suspect they are not implemented or the delegate is not set correctly.
