I want to build an app where I can offer a reward to the users when they invite their friends,
I want to fetch the user’s contact list from their phone and user will be able to select the friends they want to invite and the app will send an invitation text to those friends.
Is contact fetching something that will be, or even can be added to bubble?
When we’ll have native apps, probably. Until then, I don’t think it’s even possible, for security reasons. It’d be scary is a web app could get all contacts of the phone.
"There is no API in JavaScript to fetch the address book content in Mobile Web application BUT the PhoneGap have made it available through the plugins So they have exposed the Phone Contact list through Contact JS class,

Thanks Vini. If I read correctly this fundraiser is still ongoing and we don’t have the solution yet, correct?
As @emmanuel mentioned 4 years ago that they’ll look into it, I thought perhaps they’ve created a more elegant way to do it in the meantime. Ultimately, it’s a nocode platform, so I imagine nobodoy wants the “final solution” to require use of 3rd party platforms like Jasonella and (what I saw in another thread) the need to use XCode.
Then again, if this is the current state of play, that’s what we’ll have to work with
Yep, this is still ongoing (:
One of the goals is reducing manual labor tools as much as possible, if there’s the possibility to build apps in the cloud then that will be included in the flow.
Just following up on this. Any movement? I am building an employee referral web app and would like users to be able to add contacts from their phone when they are in their browser. @emmanuel had a good point about security. Just wondering if anything has changed?
