This is an awesome little tweak. I'm really glad to see more competent people using Theos and Logos to implement useful things!

I've got one minor nit to pick, and that's that you're using Logos, but only for its %ctor directive! Not that that's a bad thing, it gets more language coverage!

You could possibly extend this to hook those parts of those apps individually or on a case-by-case basis, and present a different/better UI for them in particular.

Great to hear you like the tweak. Theos and Logos made the whole process a lot easier, so thank you!

I plan to use Logos to add a delegate class for the UIAlert such that I can pop up an "allow/deny" dialog, to start, and then to move on to a more full-featured preference system. I'm just thinking about how to block the thread requesting the address book information while I wait for the user to dismiss the alert.

I've been poking around at various Logos + Theos projects on GitHub and I'm impressed at what a little Perl magic can do - I'm definitely excited to dive deeper as I add features.
