That's what we're currently working on. > Surely what an app does with the contacts is more important than the > source of the contacts? We need to follow the terms of service from where we sync the contacts, or they might revoke our API keys without warning, which then would affect the whole userbase. In doing so we need to allow for creative interpretation of the TOS on their end as well -- we're the ones in trouble if they decide to revoke our API keys after all. TLDR: Lawyers are making our contacts middleware unnecessarily complicated, not all features implemented yet. Bernd _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
