toVCard method

String toVCard({
  1. bool withPhoto = true,
  2. String? productId,
  3. bool includeDate = false,
})

Exports to vCard format.

By default we use vCard format v3 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2426) which is the most widely used, but it's possible to use the more recent vCard format v4 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350) using:

FlutterContacts.config.vCardVersion = VCardVersion.v4;

The optional productId specifies a product identifier, such as "-//Apple Inc.//Mac OS X 10.15.7//EN"
