Update Contact Causes Android to crash

Ionic Native
1

Disclaimers… Now I know that this is likely something that is better answered by either the Cordova team or perhaps the android team itself, but I was wondering if anyone had seen this before. Additionally the cordova-contacts-plugin is deprecated, so I am not expecting too much help there.

I have an application that provides some tools for contact management. I can read contacts no problem, I can even add contacts fairly easily. When I attempt to update a contact that I just created by adding a new phone number of email address and attempt to save the contact again, my application crashes.

Looking at the logcat of when my application was killed by android I see the exceptions below.
I have had this happen on Android 5.0.1 and Android 7.0, so I am guessing it will happen on all versions.
I have also had this result with cordova-contacts-plugin@2.3.1 and cordova-contacts-plugin@3.0.1.

Any ideas?
