Hi,
While testing the new Contact Provider Extension in the iOS 18 betas I noticed that the Notification Service Extension is unable to connect to the CPE in order to trigger a refresh. The ContactProviderManager init throws an "Extension Not Found" error.
The CPE documentation mentions a main use case of using notifications to trigger CPE updates:
"An example of using this call is to handle a push notification to your app when the provided contacts from your server update." source
Is the main app the only way to trigger a CPE update? The documentation does not specify this limitation.
I have tested this on a physical iPhone 15 running iOS 18 beta 4.
Thanks,
Wes
