Adding vCard data directly to the system Address Book

#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>

// This gets the vCard data from a file in the app bundle called vCard.vcf
//NSURL *vCardURL = [[NSBundle bundleForClass:self.class] URLForResource:@"vCard" withExtension:@"vcf"];
//CFDataRef vCardData = (CFDataRef)[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:vCardURL];

// This version simply uses a string. I'm assuming you'll get that from somewhere else.
NSString *vCardString = @"vCardDataHere";
// This line converts the string to a CFData object using a simple cast, which doesn't work under ARC
CFDataRef vCardData = (CFDataRef)[vCardString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// If you're using ARC, use this line instead:
//CFDataRef vCardData = (__bridge CFDataRef)[vCardString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

ABAddressBookRef book = ABAddressBookCreate();
ABRecordRef defaultSource = ABAddressBookCopyDefaultSource(book);
CFArrayRef vCardPeople = ABPersonCreatePeopleInSourceWithVCardRepresentation(defaultSource, vCardData);
for (CFIndex index = 0; index < CFArrayGetCount(vCardPeople); index++) {
    ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(vCardPeople, index);
    ABAddressBookAddRecord(book, person, NULL);
    //CFRelease(person);
}

Programmatically Show Call Out on Annotation

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mymapView didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views
{
    //Show call out
    [mapView selectAnnotation:[[mapView annotations] lastObject] animated:YES];
}

Bring MKAnnotation to Front

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views {

        if([mapAnnotation.type isEqualToString:@"Call Out"])
        {
            [[annView superview] bringSubviewToFront:annView];
            break;
