Timo Kapanen: Ok, switched to the SAP AppGyver Previewer for Android. Error message about contacts permissions disappeared but still no contacts showed up at all! At first it requests permission to access contacts and then does nothing every other time. Haven't tried it on the standalone build with version 3.0.5 yet. Any clues as to what's going on?

Hi Bruno Oliveira, what is the model of Android phone you are using? Is "Get all contacts" flow returning any error message (outputs at port2)? Could you also provide the appID of your app for us to further study this. AppID can be found from the URL when app is open in Composer. Best Regards, Timo Kapanen

Timo Kapanen: https://platform.appgyver.com/builder/applications/229163/pages/36 - this page uses the get-all-contacts flow function. Tested on Android 8, Samsung S7. No error message shows up.

Bruno Oliveira: I managed to look at this on device. iPhone8 returns and shows the phone contacts (iOS 15.0.1), same with Samsung Galaxy A51 (Android 11). We tested also with one Android 8 device and that worked as well. Have you checked with debugger if the flow function is returning any error message when testing with your Android 8 phone? Best Regards, Timo Kapanen

Timo Kapanen: Is there a limitation concerning the number of contacts on the phone? If there are many (say, over 500), what shall be the behavior? Lazy load? I changed the hide spinner for when the get-all-contacts finishes and it never hides, indicating it never finishes...

Timo Kapanen: I set the get-all-contacts ouput to populate a page variable this way:

MAP(outputs["Get all contacts"].contacts, {Name: item.givenName +" "+ item.familyName, Phone: "" + item.phoneNumbers[0].number, Email: ""+ item.emailAddresses[0].email})

Should this cause any trouble?

Bruno Oliveira: based on my testing the current formula works as I am seeing contact list in both my Android Galaxy A51 and iPhone8. Android is little slower to show the contacts but eventually those are appearing. Do you have any other phone than the Android8 to test with? Also with Android8 would be good to see what the flow function Get all contact returns. You can use either debugger or then but alert to show the response. We suspect that there is empty response.

Hi Bruno Oliveira, looping back to this issue. Does it still occur? Best Regards, Timo Kapanen

Timo Kapanen: Unfortunately yes. If you can't easily reproduce it, I suspect it is likely related to the large number of contacts and no lazy-load behavior. It spins and never finishes now. Or it stays at a blank screen if I change the logic for the spinner. But never actually loads any contact info.

Bruno Oliveira: have you managed to check for example with debugger if the flow function is returning any error message? Do you have any other phone but Android 8, Samsung S7 to test with? And yes, it could be related to the amount of phonebook entries but would be good to see if there is any error message.

Timo Kapanen: Also tested in Android 10 on Samsung Galaxy J8. Using the debugger is a bit of a luxury to me, I never got around to it. But I checked for error messages and got none. Seems to be due to the number of phone book entries. In both cases, over 1.000 (which, I presume, is not so extraordinary)

Bruno Oliveira: I am going through old tickets and noticed that this one has been left unmanaged for far too long time. Are you still experiencing this issue? Back then we could not reproduce it in our test setup. Any clues how it could be reproduced would greatly help. Best Regards, Timo Kapanen

Timo Kapanen: No, not the permission error anymore, that is solved.

Bruno Oliveira: great, thanks for confirming

Kristian Gerkman: thanks for the reply. Same behavior on android 10 and 8. Also on the preview app.

Bruno Oliveira: Thanks, Got it to reproduce!

Kristian Gerkman: facing same issue here. is there any workaround to utilize this feature.
