Hi Guys,

I have faced below error on iOS. i am using react native 61 version.

Error: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeContactsWrapper.default.getContact')

It's working fine on Android but in iOS, it's showing error.

Below is my code:
ContactsWrapper.getContact()
.then((contact) => {
console.log("phone number",contact.phone);
// console.log("Contact List",contact);
this.setState({phone:contact.phone});
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log("ERROR CODE: ", error.code);
console.log("ERROR MESSAGE: ", error.message);
});

can you please me to resolve my issue for IOS?

Thanks

@aqib1604 you can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-select-contact which is originated from this library. Works like charm

@aqib1604 If you're still looking for a solution — react-native-pick-contact is a lightweight alternative that doesn't have this null reference issue. Built from scratch for RN 0.76+ New Architecture (TurboModule + codegen), uses CNContactPickerViewController on iOS directly.

Single function: pickContact() → { name, phone }.
