Summary:

Add Simple Contacts fork with support for structured addresses

Description:

A Simple-Contacts is already available in F-Droid as https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.simplemobiletools.contacts.pro. Unfortunately it lacks the possibility to handle addresses with post office box, apartment/suite, street, city, zip code, state and country name in separate fields. This makes it very problematic to be used with DAVx5 and CardDAV compliant cloud services like Next Cloud.

Find more details here:

It seems so far there is no other application on F-Droid that could provide the desired functionality.

Stephan Ritscher created a fork of Simple-Contacts that has the desired functionality and he provides the fork in github.com/stephanritscher/Simple-Contacts.

He tried without success to get the improvement included to the original Simple-Contacts in https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Contacts/pull/156.

I think the fork from Stephan Ritscher should be added as separate app to the F-Droid store so that users that look for a contacts app that is compliant with other applications (e. g. Thunderbird with CardBook, iOS Contacts) and cloud services (e. g. Nextcloud) that support the CardDAV and vCard standards (RFC 6352, RFC 6350) find one in F-Droid.

So I kindly request the fork from Stephan Ritscher to be included to F-Droid.
