Hi there,

I've wanted to use this plugin in my ionic 5 project. sadly, I couldn't find how I have to import it to my project.
I use this plugin in a component.

I can't address ContactsX with window.ContactsX.xyz() and since the whole class is static, I don't know were Ionic instanciates it...

I tried to import it as you said
import ContactsX from 'cordova-plugin-contacts-x'

called the pick() function like so:

ContactsX.pick(function(success){ console.log(success); }, function(error){ console.log(error); });

all I got was the error message:

undefined is not an Object.

Could you help me please? :)

Using the code below the contact is created but the phone number stays empty...

    window.ContactsX.save(
      {
        firstName: "James",
        familyName: "Test",
        phoneNumebers: [{
          type: "mobile",
          value: "+36301234567"
        }]
      },
      function(success) {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(success));
        alert('Contact saved!');
      },
      function (error) {
        console.error(JSON.stringify(error));
        alert('Contact NOT saved!');
      }
    );

Android 11, Huawei P30 Pro.

Removal of compile and runtime configurations
Since its inception, Gradle provided the compile and runtime configurations to declare dependencies. These however did not support a fine grained scoping of dependencies. Hence, better replacements were introduced in Gradle 3.4:

The implementation configuration should be used to declare dependencies which are implementation details of a library: they are not visible to consumers of the library during compilation time.

The api configuration, available only if you apply the java-library plugin, should be used to declare dependencies which are part of the API of a library, that need to be exposed to consumers at compilation time.

Gradle

Need change this setup

dependencies {
compile 'com.googlecode.libphonenumber:libphonenumber:8.2.0'
}

Bug Report

I Installed the plugin on my Ionic App, but after importing the ContactsX from the module 'cordova-plugin-contacts-x', im trying to call the requestPermission() function but it throws me the next error:

It doesn't appear to be related to the plugin itself, but I cant find the answer.

Any help will be appreciated.

Environment information:

• Node version = 10.19.0
• Ionic CLI version = 6.11.9
• Cordova CLI version = 10.0.0
• Cordova platform version = android 9.0.0

Current Behavior:
build gives following error:
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'baseCountryCode' does not exist in type 'FindOptions'.

Expected Behavior:
there should be no build errors

Additional information
Adding fields to corresponding interfaces in find-options.d.ts file fixes the issue.
Alternatively you can use as FindOptions to cast object when using find(), but that's temporary workaround.

I'm trying to access the contact numbers using bellow code in Cordova IOS (using Cordova 9)

window.ContactsX.requestPermission((success) => {
        if (success.read) {
          console.log(success, 'got permission');
          window.ContactsX.find((data) => {
            console.log(data, 'found contacts');
          }, (error) => {
            console.error(error, 'contact find error');
          }, [ 'phoneNumbers']);
        } else {
          console.error(success, 'permission denied');
        }
      });

=======================================================================

window.ContactsX.requestPermission((success) => {
        if (success.read) {
          console.log(success, 'got permission');
          window.ContactsX.find((data) => {
            console.log(data, 'found contacts');
          }, (error) => {
            console.error(error, 'contact find error');
          }, {phoneNumbers: true});
        } else {
          console.error(success, 'permission denied');
        }
      });

Other properties retrieving properly but with empty contact number array

I go to swift code and change property like billows

class ContactsXOptions {

    var firstName: Bool = true;
    var middleName: Bool = true;
    var familyName: Bool = true;
    var phoneNumbers: Bool = true;
    var emails: Bool = true;

    init(options: NSDictionary?) {
        if(options != nil) {
            let fields = options?.value(forKey: "fields") as? NSDictionary ?? nil;

            if(fields != nil) {
                self.parseFields(fields: fields!)
            }
        }
    }

    private func parseFields(fields: NSDictionary) {
        firstName = fields.value(forKey: "firstName") as? Bool ?? true;
        middleName = fields.value(forKey: "middleName") as? Bool ?? true;
        familyName = fields.value(forKey: "familyName") as? Bool ?? true;
        phoneNumbers = fields.value(forKey: "phoneNumbers") as? Bool ?? false;
        emails = fields.value(forKey: "emails") as? Bool ?? false;
    }

}

var phoneNumbers: Bool = true; false to true it returns number list as well
is there a special way of sending options list to native code other than above mention code?

Hi guys, we're migrating our app to Angular 14, and Cordova 11. Code is the exact same as before, but now when I build an apk and launch the page that requests permission from the user for contacts. I get this error.

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'requestPermission')

Below is the code.

try {
// @ts-ignore
window.ContactsX.requestPermission(function (success: any) {
}, function (error: any) {
console.error(error);
});
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}

Current Behavior:
When retrieving contacts on iOS I see the "type" property for every phone number is _$!<Other>!$_. In Android the type is properly set to values like "home", "mobile", etc.

Expected Behavior:
When retrieving contacts on iOS I see the "type" property for every phone number should be set to values like "home", "mobile", etc. (as they appear when viewing contacts in iOS)

Steps to reproduce:
Just do a window.ContactsX.find() in iOS and inspect the results.

Hi!, it would be possible to add an extra parameter that allows filter the contacts by name, surname or any available field y phonebook.
If this feature is already available I didn't find it in the documentation.
I currently using Cordova.

Hello Hans,

right now i'm integrating your nice little plugin, is there any chance to add the phoneNumbers type?

Like you do with the Emails?

Feature request

• we can able to add new contact.
• we can able to edit existing contact.
  -we can able to remove contact

When trying to add "import ContactsX from 'cordova-plugin-contacts-x';" to my typescript file which requires contactsx I get error "cannot find module cordova-plugin-contacts-x". How do I work around this? I have installed the plugin through npm and can see it in window when I console.log(window) on a mobile device.

Hi there, it's me again.
I hope I'm not stupid again :D

It's working fine and the object return on ContactX.pick() looks fine too.
But when I want to do this:
this.name = contactX.firstName
the compiler shows this error:
null is not an object (evaluating this.name = contactX.firstName)
if I do a console.log, contactX.firstName is showing correctly...

Thanks for helping again!

Bug Report

Hello,
I'm building my Cordova app to release in store and I found that the .ipa file has a high size (120MB), instead of previous 45MB. I commented the contacts-x plugin line and it seems is returning to low size.

I inspected the .ipa file and it seems that the contacts plugin added SwiftSupport folder, in the .ipa root folder, with libswiftCore.dylib / libswiftFoundation.dylib etc.. (150+MB). These are duplicated also in the Payload under Frameworks (~40MB).

What can I do to decrease the .ipa size? Because it seems too high.

Current Behavior:

• .ipa file high size

Expected Behavior:

• .ipa file low size

Screenshots:

Can anyone help me?

How plugin work in ionic 4 or above

Could you please share, how it working in ionic 4 or greater

Hello!

I'm curious, why this plugin does not follow contact picker api?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ContactsManager/getProperties
It would help avoid writing additional code for webview.

Thank you!

Hi, I currently use this plugin, and works perfectly. Actually i have a big problem, a few users has around 10k contacts and the app crash :( . I see the pick function but i have a question, it's possible select multiple contacts?. Or some way to keep open pick windows to select and use?.

Thanks
Regards

There is a serious problem for iOS platform 6.2.

The access contact permission cannot be seen from iPhone settings of app itself. It means user has no way to turn it on allowing App to read contact. However, platform 6.1.2 seems ok.

I try keep both corodva-plugin-contacts and cordova-plugin-contacts-x installed and now the access permission can be seen from in iPhone's setting page.

Please help.

Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Swift, so haven't been able to debug it myself. The best I could find online was a reference to Swift 3 code throwing similar errors in Xcode versions where Swift 4+ is required.

P.S. Thanks for creating the plugin. Has worked perfectly on Android and performs better than any of the alternatives.

I am not sure if it's a bug, but while working, I came across one issue where I pressed "deny" option when permission dialog was invoked. My plan was to present user with a dialog asking for permissions for feature to work. But when app is requesting permissions again, it's just not requesting it anymore (by invoking permission dialog) but giving me previous results "false" directly.
