known issue

CardDAV

  • Contact photos are not synced yet, this will follow soon. Should work now.
  • Some users reported that not all contacts get synced. First tests showed that iCloud may not report all contacts, so this looks like an iCloud bug. This is currently beeing investigated. If you can make out some pattern (like "only contacts that I uploaded with ... are missing") please let me know. Update: It seems the missing contacts sync if you modified them once in the iCloud web address book. There is a workaround in CardDAV-Sync 0.3.3 that should fix this issue. For some reason iCloud does not report proper content-types for some contacts. Editing them in the web-frontend fixed the content-type. As workaround the app accepts missing content-types when syncing with iCloud as long as the file extension is ".vcf".
