Accessing the email value from the iPhone AddressBook

Question

Need some help getting the email value from the AddressBook. This is what I have so far ...
Used to open up the picker and limit to email only
-(void) browseButtonPressed:(id)sender
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController* controller = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
controller.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
NSNumber* emailProp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty];
controller.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObject:emailProp];
controller.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
The delegate method in the same class
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
NSString *email = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
NSLog(@"selected person: %@", email);
[[peoplePicker parentViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;
The NSLog prints the following ...
selected person: <NSCFType: 0x1d81c0>
Any idea why it's not printing a string rather I am getting NSCFType ?

Great Post. One of the few times that I was able to come to a conclusion about the code I need. Here is an example of the delegate method in reference to getting the email address.
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
CFStringRef email = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, identifier);
NSLog( (NSString *) email);
self.receiverEmail.text = (NSString *) email;
[self.tabBarController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;
}
