flutter_contacts_service 0.2.0

A Flutter plugin to read, create, update and delete device contacts natively on Android and iOS.

CHANGES

0.2.0

• Add vCard 3.0 support — FlutterContactsService.exportVCard(contacts) serializes contacts to a vCard document, and importVCard(vCard) parses one back into ContactInfo objects. iOS uses CNContactVCardSerialization; Android uses a built-in serializer/parser (name, organization, phones, emails, postal addresses, note, birthday). Resolves #5.

0.1.2

• Performance: getContacts now loads contact photos in parallel and returns the stored image bytes directly instead of decoding and re-encoding each one — much faster on large contact lists. Resolves #3.
• Add FlutterContactsService.getAccounts() — lists the device accounts that own contacts (Android). Resolves #4.
• Add favorite/starred support: the ContactInfo.isStarred field and FlutterContactsService.setFavorite(contact, favorite) (Android). Resolves #11.
• getAccounts returns an empty list and setFavorite is a no-op on iOS, which has no equivalent concepts.

0.1.1

• Fix updateContact failing with "raw_contact_id is required" on Android — it passed the aggregated CONTACT_ID to Data-table inserts instead of the RAW_CONTACT_ID, so the whole update failed. Updates (including phone numbers) now save correctly. Resolves #6 and #8.
• Fix duplicate phone numbers / emails on Android for contacts aggregated from multiple accounts — exact duplicates are now dropped. Resolves #9.

0.1.0

• Fix iOS UIScene crash — the plugin force-unwrapped appDelegate.window, which is nil under the UIScene lifecycle (Flutter 3.35+), crashing the app on launch. Window and view-controller lookup is now scene-safe. Resolves #12 and #13.
• Add Swift Package Manager support on iOS; CocoaPods still works.
• Drop the quiver dependency — hashing now uses the built-in Object.hash / Object.hashAll.
• Android: Kotlin 1.8.22 → 2.3.21, AGP 8.1.0 → 8.11.1, Gradle 8.3 → 8.14, compileSdk 36, coroutines 1.6.4 → 1.9.0; migrated to the Kotlin compilerOptions DSL.
• iOS: minimum deployment target 13.0; bundled the privacy manifest; fixed the placeholder podspec metadata.
• Removed the stale Android unit test; raised flutter_lints to 6.0.
• Fixed the broken changelog (duplicate 0.0.2+1 entries, missing 0.0.3).

0.0.3

• Add a note field to ContactInfo.

0.0.2+1

• Change the Contact object to ContactInfo in README.

0.0.2

• Change the Contact object to ContactInfo.
• Change the Item object to ValueItem.

0.0.1
