Account class

Contact account (e.g., Google account, iCloud account, local device account).

Contacts can belong to different accounts. On Android they're called accounts; on iOS/macOS they're called containers. Each account has an ID, display name, and type identifier (e.g., "com.google" for Google accounts).

Under the hood, contacts are stored as raw contacts within each account. When you have the same person in multiple accounts (e.g., "John Doe" in both your Google account and iCloud account), the system automatically links these raw contacts together into a unified contact. This unified contact appears as a single entry to users, combining data from all linked accounts. You can see which accounts contributed data via Contact.metadata.accounts.
