Description

Hello, I was wondering how I might be able to access contacts when I'm running my codebase locally? (The auth status is always "Denied" when running locally, even though when I build it for production everything works as it should)

I imagine this has something to do with production vs development certificates, but I haven't found a very clear tutorial on how I should go about resolving that issue.

Let me know if there is any more information that will help.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the denied authorization locally and comparing local development certificates with the production setup; research the macOS contacts permission flow used by this library. Done means a clear, tested local-development procedure is documented and contacts can be accessed without the authorization status remaining "Denied".
