Issues
I’ve noticed 4 issues I suspect Simple Contacts, or perhaps DAVx5, is creating in Roundcube & Apple Contacts':
Something between the four apps is merging the address fields' from their individual fields into the “Street” field and renders everything horizontally but looks the same in Simple Contacts. I can repair this in either Roundcube or Apple Contacts' and the corrected format will remain.

Given the lack of ability to select URL type (e.g. Home, Work, etc.) in Simple Contacts, when a contact is sent via DAVx5 to the VPS it changes to “x-homepage” in Roundcube or Apple Contacts' regardless of its previous type.
A. Apple
B. Roundcube.
C. Simple
The order of the fields are not maintained in Simple Calendar from the order they are entered, regardless of the 3 interfaces in which they are entered. As well, in all instanced the 2nd address should have the Type of "Other" so something is causing it to change to "Address" in Apple Contacts, which you can see in the Apple images above.
A. Correct
[City], [State] [Post Code]
[Country]
is converted to
B. Incorrect
[Post Code] [City]
[Country] [(State)]
C. Simple
After viewing a contact in “Edit” mode and leaving the mode with the app’s Back arrow or using Android Back button, the contact is updated/re-sent to the VPS and Item # 1, # 2 & # 3 result. I would think going back without clicking the tick icon ✓ would work like a “Cancel” and thus no changes. That has been my experience with other apps with similar interactions.
If I do not sync my Android device, I’m not experiencing these issues. How can I troubleshoot this further to determine the cause? Please note, I am not a developer so I have limited skills.
