Hi all,
I was wondering on the possibility of opening a vcard directly in native contact App without downloading the file and open it manually on Android & iOS from browser? This can be done through native app but I'm unsure on browser. I tried a lot of workarounds but no avail.
Edit: It works on Safari iOS, Chrome iOS but not Edge iOS, no solution for Android yet as the file is still required to be downloaded and executed.
1. Changing to PWA but fileplugin/fileviewerplugin is not supported(cordova) for PWA .
2. Contact Picker API is not supported in major browser.
3. File System API can only download the file and open the file directory (window.showOpenFilePicker() and window.showDirectoryPicker()) but not automatically open native app with the vcf information attached.
3. Tried solution from Webflow, attaching to GDrive/Dropbox but still, it downloaded the file instead.
Or is there any way to download the file and open the .vcf file directly in native contact app (Understand that this is prevented by default due to security concern)?
Regards,
Kenny
Dear @Yung Shin .
No way. Opening a .vcf file directly in the Contacts app from the browser is not consistently possible across all platforms and browsers due to security restrictions.
