Swift - Getting Contact Details from ContactPickerViewController

I have an application that has some fields for a person's name, email, and address. I have utilized the CNContactPickerViewController and have the delegate stated in my application header. On a button click, I have the following:

@IBAction func AddItemFromContactsPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    let contactPicker = CNContactPickerViewController()
    contactPicker.delegate = self
    contactPicker.displayedPropertyKeys =
        [CNContactEmailAddressesKey, CNContactPhoneNumbersKey]
    self.presentViewController(contactPicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

afterwards, when the user selects a contact, I have the delegate method didSelectContact and have utilized it as follows:

//DELEGATE METHODS FOR UICONTACT
func contactPicker(picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelectContact contact: CNContact){
    ItemName.text = contact.givenName + " " + contact.familyName
    if(contact.phoneNumbers.count != 0){
        ItemPhoneContact.text = contact.phoneNumbers[0].value as? String
    }
    if(contact.postalAddresses.count != 0){
        ItemAddress.text = contact.postalAddresses[0].value as? String
    }
}

However I get a runtime error on pulling the postalAddresses. When commneted out, I get the following warning on runtime for getting the phone numbers:

[Appname ####:####] plugin com.apple.MobileAddressBook.ContactsViewService invalidated

Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I would just like to note that getting the name and family name works perfectly fine.

You can use CNContactViewController to show contact details based on name.

let name = "\(contact.firstName) \(contact.lastName)"
let predicate: NSPredicate = CNContact.predicateForContacts(matchingName: name)
let descriptor = CNContactViewController.descriptorForRequiredKeys()
let contacts: [CNContact]
do {
  contacts = try store.unifiedContacts(matching: predicate, keysToFetch: [descriptor])
  } catch {
    contacts = []
  }

if !contacts.isEmpty {
  guard let contact.first else {return}
  let cvc = CNContactViewController(for: contact)
    cvc.allowsActions = true
    cvc.delegate = self
    cvc.allowsEditing = true
  self.navigationController?.pushViewController(cvc, animated: true)
  }

You are seeing this message because in IOS 9 ABPeoplePickerNavigationController is no longer works.

There is new library/framework for CNContact which will be used in IOS 9 and above: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Contacts/Reference/Contacts_Framework/index.html
