Cannot import vcard with VERSION:4.0

[Thalley]

When attempting to import my contacts to my DivestOS (build 20.0) I was met with an error message that it could not import the .vcf (vCard) file.

I played around with the vCards in the file, and found that simply modifying the version from VERSION:4.0 to VERSION:3.0 made it work, so the (default) Contacts application may not (properly) support VERSION:4.0.

See the following examples:

This works

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:;Test Name;;;
FN:Test Name
END:VCARD

And this works

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:;Test Name;;;
FN:Test Name
END:VCARD

but this doesn't work

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
N:;Test Name;;;
FN:Test Name
END:VCARD

The underlying AOSP Contacts app largely hasn't been updated since 2014 or so making issues like this expected.

That makes sense. Maybe it's worth raising an issue for the AOSP, instead of here then?

Nah, they're deprecated in favor of their proprietary replacements, eg: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts

and merely considered "reference implementations" these days.

I see. Would the best option be to update it for DivestOS, or to update the implement in the AOSP?

On a related note, I don't know which labels exists for this repo, but I probably wouldn't call this a bug, but rather an enhancement (unless it is supposed to support version 4.0 already).

I'll look to pulling this in next update: GrapheneOS/platform_packages_apps_Contacts@8fbeedd
