purpose of asking to access contacts

[James Walker]

On iOS, you can give the user a hint of why you need access to contacts
by putting a purpose string in the Info.plist. There isn't any way to
do that on macOS, is there?

There is: NSContactsUsageDescription in your Info.plist

Oh, cool. The " Information Property List Key Reference" seemed to
indicate in one place that it's only for iOS, but now I see another
place where it says macOS 10.8 and later. Do you happen to know if it
works with the old AddressBook framework, or do I need to rewrite with
the CNContact stuff?

It works with the old AB framework. I haven't even moved to the newer one yet, but I assume it works there too.
