iCloud address books have always been a challenge for users to connect. This is because Apple doesn’t provide a guided OAuth flow to authorize other apps. Instead they make users manually create an app-specific password for each third party app. The good news is that this method provides the same functionality as OAuth. The bad news is that the user experience is … less than ideal. Which is a surprising choice for Apple, UX leaders.
