This nativescript-contacts-lite plugin provides pretty fast read-only access to the iOS and Android contact directory.

nativescript-contacts-lite's Issues

Not able to Access Contacts in IOS(though works, when page loads), if permission is disabled and then enabled from Phone Settings

Hi Jonothan Solomon,

I am using this plugin, In Android, it works fine, whereas in IOS also for the first time I am getting all the contacts.

But the catch is, in IOS if I go to phone settings and disable the permission for contacts and come back to app, since I do not have the permission, ideally it should go to the error block of promise, but it doesn't go.

Sample Code (Which does not work in IOS)

Contacts.getContacts(this.desiredFields).then( (result: Array<ContactLiteObject>) => { this.result = result; } }, e => { this.emitRes(); console.dir(e); } );

But, If I want to filter contacts based on search term in the code, and now in the app settings if I disable the contacts permission, then, it goes inside the error block of the promise, which takes care of showing the error.

Sample Code (Which works in IOS)

Contacts.getContacts(this.desiredFields, 'Kate', true).then( (result: Array<ContactLiteObject>) => { this.result = result; } }, e => { this.emitRes(); console.dir(e); } );

Desired Result:

Irrespective of search term, I should get the contacts If permission is enabled and if permission is disabled, it should go inside error block of promise (So, that i can show to the user that "You do not have access"). Any quick help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Phone Number repeated with multiple account name, though in my contacts list, I don't have multiple account names

If I have 500 contacts, I get 1000 contacts (500 from my gmail account and 500 from my MI account), but in my contacts, while saving any contact, I haven't specified any account name. Any quick help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Compilation failure on android with webpack

Hi, i tried using your plugin with webpack but it fails on android.

To reproduce:
Create a sample app based on default angular template:
Add the webpack plugin + nativescript-contacts-lite + worker loader
Add some codes using the web worker

Run the bundled project

npm run start-android-bundle 

Gradle fails at :asbg:generateBindings

Warning: there already is an extend called com.tns.FragmentClass.
Warning: The static binding generator will generate extend from:vendor.js implementation
:asbg:generateBindings
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: File already exists. This may lead to undesired behavior.
Please change the name of one of the extended classes.
File:/Users/mevindhunnooa/Documents/workspace/my-app-name/platforms/android/src/main/java/com/tns/FragmentClass.java Class: com.tns.FragmentClass

        at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Main.main(Main.java:15)
:asbg:generateBindings FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

According to #778, This occurs because the plugin loads the tns modules which are already in the vendor.ts. I even tried using android@next version but it still fails. Here is a sample project with minimalistic code to reproduce https://github.com/mevinDhun/nativescript-webpack-error-app

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

Not able to Access Contacts in Android(though works, when page loads), It asks for Permission after page loads

Hi Jonothan Solomon,
Hope you are good in this Covid-19
I am using this plugin in a ModalView , as i Click on the button to load the Modal , the permission is asked after the modal is loaded & then Permission error page comes as it ask for permission after the page loads .

So basically it doesn't update permission on the runtime to the App, even after permission is granted by the User.
Please fix this issue.

Could not create service of type OutputFilesRepository using ExecutionGradleServices.createOutputFilesRepository()

Hello,

I am trying to build my app on a Mac for Android and I am getting the following error:

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'nativescript_contacts_lite'.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thank you

How can I find contacts that start with a letter?

Good night. How can I find contacts that start with a letter? thanks.

get CONTACT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP field

I would like to have CONTACT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP => 'contact_status_ts' for my app as I have to sync the contacts for my app. and I cannot sync all contacts every time. So I need to have some timestamp which can tell me the latest update timestamp and I can filter the updated contacts according to that.

[Android] Type field returns a value not included in enum

Some contacts have a type field returning the following

type: '0'

instead of 'mobile', 'home', 'isdn' and so forth.

conflict with eslint and/or eslint-plugin-promise

Spent endless hours trying to figure out why getContactsWorker stopped working. Only the worker. GetContacts continued to work fine.

It turns out it was this:

"eslint": "^6.8.0"

and/or this:

"eslint-plugin-promise": "^4.2.1",

I removed the two from packages.json and now it works fine.

Any idea why?

Running getContacts or getContactsWorker on iOS make the app crash

Hi,

I developped an app on Android using nativescript-contacts-lite.
The problem is when I run the same code on iOS simulator it crashes. The simulator has contacts and is running on iOS 12. Note that there is not any pop up asking for permission before the crash. It just crashes!

I tried both getContactsWorker (that worked on Android) and getContacts, and no matter what are the fields. The problem is that there is no error in the NativeScript Console so I don't know how to debug it.

Any idea?

Best regards,

Webpack Compatibility

This plugin doesn't seem to be compatible with nativescript-dev-webpack.

I get errors such as

unexpected token (contacts) =>

I researched and found out that nativescript-dev-webpack does not support es6 features, but I was not able to find a work around for this. Is there any way to use babel maybe or something to compile this plugin's code first? Or maybe the plugin can be updated to compile to es5?
