I dedicated 3 years to building this Android Contacts API library written in Kotlin with Java interop. I want to share it with the Reddit community for the first time.
That is a really good, deep question! I do believe I encountered undocumented behaviors. At least I think they are undocumented but maybe I just didn't find documentation on them. I wrote everything down in a single file I cal the DEV_NOTES.
- Does extensive documentation do more harm than good?

ContactStore 0.6.0 is out – Featuring new DSL, Linked Account support, testing without Robelectric
There have been a few new features in ContactStore released recently. If you are working with Contacts in your app and you prefer an alternative to working with ContentProviders, this one is for you.

I wrote an API in Kotlin +Flow to make Contacts straightforward to use (no ContentProviders)
It looks like that on a first look but you will get multiple emitions. All queries in ContactQueries use extensions in ContentResolver.Kt in order to make the Flow emit again once a change in the ContentObserver is detected.
