@matthewbischoff @agiletortoise Well it clearly states that they are not shared with Apple or third party developers. Considering contacts is one of the things that are an interoperable standard and not end-to-end encrypted, the statement would be false if they actually added it to CNContact. It's a local thing for the system to refer to you correctly. Not sure which privacy stance (and I think it's a privacy stance) made them decide this. I'm sure we'll learn more. Radar appreciated. @matthewbischoff @jeremyburge Does this mean they updated the version of vCard they use? If so, I have some Feedbacks/radars I can close :P @matthewbischoff amazing! /me waits for tabloids to mention “woke” iOS update to respond with “It’s been woke for years with sleep tracking.” @matthewbischoff if they are not shared with Apple or 3rd party developers where do the pronouns go? I guess thats implying they are e2ee but somehow I can't picture how that would actually work in all the places I would want to have a pronoun shown @liaizon @matthewbischoff I assume you add specific placeholders in your app strings and they are replaced at runtime by the values you provided, without being directly accessible by app developers.
@matthewbischoff i am laughing at the idea that they may want to do this for other languages at some point… and well, in german it takes 13 pages of tables @matthewbischoff what is this content can you show me how to operate money making tactics @chelming @matthewbischoff They look like free-form text entry fields, so I would imagine so. @matthewbischoff seems an oversight until pointed out. Was it? Not sure how it could be though. @billgraefe Not an oversight. It just a lot of organization internally and on external mailing lists like the vCard spec to make it happen. |
@matthewbischoff Sadly, no new property on CNContact, however. :-( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/cncontact?changes=latest_minor
