    Hello

    Using Apple contacts and TF Pro ( current version ) on import of my contacts my birthday is one day earlier than on my contact card?

    I made a change to my card and did a re-import and the change occurred, any further info I can provide or thoughts on “day” change? Month and year are OK. Format in contacts is May 6, 1947

    Thanks

    Terende D.

    Hi Terence,

    Thanks for reporting this bug.

    I’ll look into it to figure out why it’s behaving this way and fix it. I can confirm it’s a bug.

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Ok, I’ve just fixed this bug. The issue is with the time of the birthdate value the Contacts API gives to Tap Forms. The time of the birthdate was 00:00:00 and that can cause the date to be displayed as a day earlier depending on what time zone you’re in. I’ve just fixed it by setting the time of a birthday field to 12:00 PM. That should deal with the time zone issue so the date is displayed correctly.
