UILabel Address label is blank and Local Declaration hides instance variable - objective-c

Question

I am new to Xcode, and I am attempting to have my app access the Address Book, choose a person, and then create NSString values for the person (First Name, Last Name, Organization, Address, Email and Telephone Number) I can pull the first and last name, the organization, the first email entered (it would be nice to display all of the email address, and let the user choose), and the first phone number entered in (again, it would be nice to be able to choose), but the address for the person is always blank. I would really appreciate any help you can provide. In addition, I keep getting local declaration hides instance variable warnings - I have no idea how to resolve these.

I have no answer for the problem that the address data is blank.
To get rid of the "local declaration hides instance variable" warning you need to use different variable names that do not clash with the names of the properties you are synthesizing.
For instance, in displayPerson: you have a local variable custfirstname. Because this uses the same name as a property, the local variable hides the instance variable of the same name that is being synthesized.
If you want to keep the local variable name, I believe it is also possible to tell #synthesize to use a different name for the instance variable that it generates. I am not familiar with the syntax, so if you want to go that way you have to look it up yourself.
