> Windows 8 Contacts - Find+Create APIs
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-1291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1291
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Contacts, Windows 8
> Reporter: Jesse MacFadyen

> It looks like we will need to approach Contacts on Windows 8 differently.
> The goal of the Contacts API is not to have every app become a ContactProvider, which
would result in chaos ...
> Windows 8 does not have built in contacts, they are managed internally by the People
app. The People app is a ContactProvider so when you are performing an operation that requires
a contact, you are given the opportunity to select one or more contacts from the People app,
as well as every other app that publishes the ContactProvider contract.
> Searching contacts cannot be achieved given Windows 8 APIs and interaction with the People
app, but the primary use case of picking one or more contacts to interact with can work.
> I think the best approach would be to return a contact object as defined by PhoneGap
APIs, but allow the user to actually do the selection ( via the picker )
> Here is a good write-up by a Microsoft evangelist about how contacts work on Windows
8.
