Nextcloud's Carddav Server can not be uses as Default Account for an IPhone

Hey there, after a long search, I ended up using this workaround posted here in the forum by Bernie_O:

I was facing the same problem and just had a closer look. I found out that the
different addressbooks are listed as groups in iOS contacts app (beside groups created in MacOS). You can choose them by opening the contacts app and tapping on groups (top left corner).

to add a contact to a specific address book:

1. open contacts app in iOS
   

2. tap “groups”
   

3. select only the address book where the contact shall be saved to
   

4. tap “done”
   

5. tap + and add a contact and check in Nextcloud where it was saved to. It should be the selected address book
   

6. in iOS contacts app tap “groups” and select all groups to let iOS contacts app display all available contacts again
