It feels as if I have a new phone and I am still adjusting! I was building an app which using the contact card plug-in and the behaviour under IOS 7 is a bit different. Under IOS 6 it went to a screen that simply asks if I want to create a new contact or add to an existing one, which seems fine to me. On IOS 7, it takes me to a different screen, with empty entries for main, mobile, home, work etc. I don't think this is desired behaviour. If I scroll, right at the bottom I see the option to create a new contact or add to an existing one, but it is hidden and I can't see the point of the other(redundant) fields at this point. Is anyone else using this plug-in? Am I still in adjustment to ISO 7 or is this a bug? Alan Title Comments Believe it or not, I just upgraded my phone from IOS 6 to 7.

Probably a silly question, but do you have the latest version of the plugin? Comments Hey Alan, I use this plugin and it works fine for me.

Partly this may be a lack of familiarity with the plugin on my part. I've read some threads that talk about transitions, which I didn't see on IOS 6 but I do see now. I've also noticed that the default transition is the only one that allows me to use back all the way to the calling menu. When I use others, the app takes me back to the interim screen but no further. Comments Not a silly question Leon, I am on version 1.3, which appears to be the latest.

Looks very different as it is all white IOS7ish but works. Are you having the probe with a live app or still developing? If live, maybe give it a quick try on a developing app first to narrow in the problem.

Does it look right ? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44302941/contacts_screenshot.png Comments I just put a screenshot on dropbox for a while at least, so you can see what I see.

LeonG Apple Fan Posts: 694 Reg: Nov 08, 2011 Hamburg 17,740	05/08/14 08:16 AM (10 years ago) apart from no data and picture it looks right, yes. I deleted the stuff I didn't need in the code so that I don't see the empty home number space for example if I don't have one. Comments apart from no data and picture it looks right, yes.

But not on IOS 6. Comments So if I understand you correctly, in IOS7, the plugin shows the "create a new contact or add to an existing" after all the other (I'd say superfluous) fields?
