sharing screen of android contacts with e164 numbers is showing the wrong number

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce:

  • have a contact with a phone number in the e164 format
  • share the contact with the barcode scanner

1845297871461598955_2

As you can see, the barcode scanner is displaying the country prefix (+49 since it is a german phone number), but it somehow cut off the + character.

The data encoded in the qrcode is correct, though.

I was planning to release a ‘10th anniversary’ release in a couple months

allowing + sounds reasonable, since it matches the content of the qrcode and is a valid part of a phone number.

Thanks for fixing this! Can you estimate when this change will arrive in the playstore version?
