Access user's phone number on iOS 7

Question

I know that iOS 4 and 5 do not allow the access of a user's phone number since its outside the sandbox of an application (if it needs to be accepted by apple). I would like to know whether this has changed in iOS 7 - with permissions whether it can be accessed etc.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

No. Apple APIs do not provide access to this information. What's more, attempting to get this information without asking the user is generally considered a huge breach of privacy.
