>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0

> Contacts on iOS are organized by group.  There is the default group "All Contacts" plus any custom groups that the user set up.  Contacts retrieved by Apache Cordova / phonegap do not contain which group they are in. 
> CONTACT CATEGORIES PROPERTY
> I believe that iOS groups are analogous to phonegap contact categories and thus should be mapped to them.  If not, another property should be created.
> From the Cordova docs:
> "categories: An array of all the contacts user defined categories. (ContactField[])"
> IOS IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
> In the iOS AddressBook API, the function ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllGroups() gets the list of groups.
