It is an app ( a special one since it is installed as a deb package ) : repo is here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/address-book-app

You can still test contact app as a click package though, so it is clickable possible ( just appear on the device as a second contact app)

@lduboeuf Thanks

okay , probably thats why when i press and hold its icon on the phone for couple of seconds , the openstore option doesnt open as I was trying to uninstall it. How can we uninstall it ?

I built a click package address-book.ubports_0.0.0-testing_arm64.click with a word testing in it
So is it just for testing ? How can we replace original app with my click package ?

Thanks

contact app is not a click app but installed as a debian package. If you want to replace it, see https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/testing-locally.html

If for whatever reason it does not work, your can use the CI build by making a Merge Request, the package will be built and installable locally with sudo ubports-qa install . eg. for MR 216: sudo ubports-qa install focal_-_PR_address-book-app_216

In this specific case I would discourage this scenario, as OP has mentioned that these changes are for personal customization purposes and not intended to be contributed back to the project.

agree, then if issue with debian packaging, then just modify the files directly on the device

@lduboeuf Although I don't see how all these changes will survive updates or channel changes, unless OP bundles them up in something akin to jerk packages or some such.

What's the OPs goal anyway? They've been asking a lot of questions about changing stuffs in the system and core apps. If they're mostly just UI changes, then perhaps changing them directly on the phone is faster and easier instead of dealing with packaging and reinstalling.

@kugiigi They haven't provided specifics. But my guess is a fully customized UT, which might or mightn't end up being a fork.
