Read / Write to phone's contact list.

Hi there

I've been asked to firstly:

Read the list of contacts on a device.
Add contacts to the device's list.

Does anyone have any idea on how this may be achieved with Unity?

First of all that has nothing to do with Unity and is device specific (iOS / Android).

Second most applications that require such a permission is malware. The API documentation of the specific device uaually has a detailed documentation how this should be done. In most cases you need to code a native code plugin specific for the device. In the case of Android you can also use JNI.

The reason I ask if Unity has something is because I started mobile app dev with "CoronaSD$$anonymous$$" which the Corona $$anonymous$$m supplied a plugin for viewing and creating contacts.

I'll look into creating a native code plugin, thanks for the reply.
