Contacts plugin

Ionic Native
#1

Does anyone know if the contacts plugin is able to get the contacts on Samsung phones? Samsung phones normally have their own Contacts app, not the Google one, and i have some customers reporting that they can’t see any contacts retrieved.
Is there a way to fix this or some one can point me out on some direction to investigate further?

Do you use the contacts.find or contacts.pickContact method? I found out the second one works, the fist one doesn’t.
On the code below, it throws an error (but no error message) and then the pick will work fine.

this.contacts.find(['*'], options).finally(()=>{
      loading.dismiss();
    }).then((response:Contact[]) => {            
      this.contactList = response.sort((a, b)=> a.name.formatted.localeCompare(b.name.formatted));
      this.filterResults();      
    }).catch((err) => {         
      this.log.error('Error:\n\r'+(typeof err=== 'object'?JSON.stringify(err):err), 'ContactsPlugin', 'Error loading contacts');
      this.contacts.pickContact().then((cnt:Contact) => {
        this.modalCtrl.dismiss(cnt);    
      }).catch((err) => {
        this.log.error('Error:\n\r'+(typeof err=== 'object'?JSON.stringify(err):err), 'ContactsPlugin', 'Error picking contact');
      })
    });
