Feature request: expose raw ID and source ID on Android

[ReveredMachine]

It would be nice to get the additional contacts information

1. rawContactId
2. deletion timestamp
3. last modified timestamp
4. source ID for the contacts I am the owner of (belonging to my account)

Android

• deletion timestamps maybe with ContactsContract.DeletedContacts.CONTENT_URI, but therefore the minSdkVersion has to be upgraded to 18
• last modification timestamp from the Contact
• rawContactId, and source ID from the RawContact

IOS
In the IOS documentation I did not found a hint in order how to do such thing.

1. rawContactId

That's already there, if you call getContact() or getContacts(withProperties: true). You can find raw IDs in contact.accounts[i].rawId.

2. deletion timestamp
3. last modified timestamp

Interesting, I didn't know about those fields. To be honest I probably won't get to it anytime soon as it's very Android-specific. But feel free to open a pull request if you got it working :)

4. source ID for the contacts I am the owner of (belonging to my account)

What's a source ID? Is it different from account type and account name?

@joachimvalente
With the source ID (available at the androids raw contact) you can map a contact on the mobile device with a contact on the server side.

Update:

lastUpdatedTimestamp is now available as contact.metadata.lastUpdatedTimestamp (Android only) in version v2.0.0-beta.1 🎉

In 2.0.0 raw IDs and source IDs are not exposed, leaving it as feature request. iOS doesn't expose any of those fields.

This is now implemented in v2.0.0-beta.2 🎉
