Find Contact Having Email Address

Demonstrates how to fetch the Google Contact for a given email address. Swift

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Note: The code for setting up the Chilkat REST object and making the initial connection can be done once.
    // Once connected, the REST object may be re-used for many REST API calls.
    // (It's a good idea to put the connection setup code in a separate function/subroutine.)
