restore VCF via adb

[JOHNFFFEE]

hi there , i am trying to do some app automation ,

i would like to run restore - push into the phone a vcf file i have , via adb , automatically .

at the moment i was able to pop up the windows to import the contact , and have a selection of where to restore the imported file (phone storage / phone storage not visible by other apps)

however even i press ok manually it fails to fine the file , no matter what , i am not sure why (i am thinking about permisions, but if i select to import vcf manually it doesnt require any aditional permissions )

i've tried to run

adb shell am start -t "text/x-vcard" -d "file:///storage/emulated/0/contacts_20240604190946.vcf" -a android.intent.action.VIEW com.simplemobiletools.contacts.pro

or

adb shell am start -t "text/x-vcard" -d "file:///sdcard/contacts_20240604190946.vcf" -a android.intent.action.VIEW com.simplemobiletools.contacts.pro

neither of them worked , error was java.io.filenotfoundExecption : /sdcard/...... .

i would like to know how to automatically do that via ADB . (to phone storage , that IS visible to other apps)

thank you .
