Steps to reproduce the bug
On the suggestion of @naveensingh , here, I'm moving part of this discussion, here:
Going to vCard Elements in IANA, I see that TYPE= parameter can have only a limited set of values. eg. for the EMAIL property, it's only "work" and "home". Fossify appears to be using TYPE="any string", as you see above. Is there some spec conformant way of doing this properly? Besides IANA, these appear to be the relevant RFC's. Please let me know if I've missed anything:
4.0: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6350
4.0, Format Extension: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6715.html
4.0 extension for character escaping; https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6868
4.0 extension for JSContact: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9554
As a comparison, this is how the Stock AOSP contacts app present it, using "X-Landline" for example.
