create method

Future<Group> create(
  1. String name, {
  2. Account? account,
})

Creates a new contact group.

account - Optional account. If null, uses the default account, falling back to a local, device-only group when there is no default — which is the case on Android 12 and below, where the platform exposes none. A local group only accepts contacts that are themselves local.

Returns the created group with its assigned ID.

Implementation

Future<Group> create(String name, {Account? account}) async {
  final result = await _channel.invokeMethod<Map>('groups.create', {
    'name': name,
    if (account != null) 'account': account.toJson(),
  });
  return JsonHelpers.decode(result, Group.fromJson)!;
}
