Using your own address book in the iPhone Simulator

Jailbroken iPhone with openssh:

scp mobile@iPhone:~/Library/AddressBook/* ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/User/Library/AddressBook

Non-jailbroken iPhone:

	#!/bin/bash
	cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup
	backup=`ls -t1 | sed -n '1p'` # most recent backup
	for f in "$backup"/*.mdinfo; do
	grep -q "Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb" $f
	if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	addressbook=`basename $f .mdinfo`
	cp -v "`pwd`/$backup/$addressbook.mddata" ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/User/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb
	exit $?
	fi
	done
	echo "Address Book not found in iPhone backup" >&2
	exit 1
