Answer 1

Try this below code. I think I am getting what you are looking for.

    let con = CNContact()
    let vc = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: con)
    _ = self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

Answer 2

Its possible to open this screen directly with some pre populated fields. No need of any workarounds.

let contact = CNMutableContact()
let homePhone = CNLabeledValue(label: CNLabelHome, value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue :"number goes here"))
contact.phoneNumbers = [homePhone]
contact.imageData = data // Set image data here
let vc = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: contact)
vc.delegate = self
let nav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc)
self.present(nav, animated: true, completion: nil)

Prorogue

I get the error in vc.delegate = self and the last line where it says Use of unresolved identifier 'self' – Ribal

Answer 3

Till iOS 10.3.1 there is no public api to open contacts screen directly to add new contact. You can use ContactsUI framework to open contacts within your application and then from that contact screen add new Contact.

You need to manually click on add button over the contacts to open this screen. – Edithe
