11 years ago I'm assuming that this is the error that I clicked the report button when the adapter sync failed on my phone.
I wanted to note that the account for contacts that I had configured the adapter to sync with is from carddav sync: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.carddav.sync
In the latest version, my CardDAV account(s) is not visible in the "Account Filter" tab of the settings.
I also want to note that I've tried clearing cache/data from the birthday adapter application and still get this error.
Lastly, I can confirm that this is specific to 1.14. I restored from my backup archive from 2013-05-30 and the adapter works correctly again.

this started happening with the last update to birthday adapter (1.14)
