mobileGetContact and email address

Post by giovanni_c » Thu Jan 21, 2016 2:05 pm

Hi all,
I've found that under iOS wher I read the contact data the email addresses are present in the returned array only if they are stored under standard categories ("home", "work", "other").
If I use a custom category these email addresses are not returned.

Can you confirm this behavior?
It's a LC bug?

Thank you for your time!

Hi giovanni,
I had some problems with this kind of thing recently and was able to tie the offending contacts to MS Outlook. that is things did not work if the contact came from outlook.
I had 3 email accounts on my phone and 1 of them was a work account that was outlook. Contacts from that email account did not work with the LC commands re contacts.

Hi Tom, thank you for your reply.
I can confirm that what you said is true but it's not strictly related to the fact that the contact came from outlook.
The same thing happens even if you change the email address label adding your own one.
So I can say that every email label category that is from "home", "work" or "other" is not catched by the mobileGetContact function.
