Hello,
anyone else out there who run into problems with iOS 9 and davical
hosted addressbooks? I have iOS 9.1 public beta running on my iPhone.
Now when I try to update an photo of a contact, the contact's photo
disapears (it's cleared on the davical server). Don't know, if this
happen's with official 9.0 as i don't have a device running it.
It got two different experiences:
1) I had a davical server (and belonging awl) version about 1.1.2, dated
latest around May, 2013, updated via git (davical/awl) in 2013.
2) I actually updated davical and awl to the latest available ZIP from
gitlab (available on "Files" section). Runned "update-davical-database"
to get newest schema
Runnig iOS 9.1 against 1) and updating a contact photo on the iPhone,
the photo was cleared on the server, but the iOS client locally kept the
new picture, giving the illusion of a successful update. But checking
the contact with InfCloud-/CardDAV-Client, Contacts of OSX 10.10 showed
an empty picture.
After 2) changing an photo with iOS 9.1, the picture is still deleted
from the davical server, but immediately the iOS client get's the
"delete" back and the picture is also cleared locally on the iPhone.
Changing a photo with an other client (InfCloud, Contacts of OSX
10.10.5), the update is reflected on the iOS client. So reading the pic
from the server seems to work. I think, Apple again changed something in
the CalDav protocol handling.
There is also a problem editing contacts with the flag "it's a busyness
card". When changing such a contact with iOS 9, this flag get's lost and
the contact further is not handled as a busyness contact and is therefor
sorted by last and first name, not longer by the company name.
I reported both issues to the Apple beta team. Don't know, if they see
this as a bug or not. Maybe, OSX servers own caldav server supports iOS 9.
Best regards,
Rudolf
