Research direction
Start by tracing the app’s .vcf import path and how it handles the BDAY field, using the provided contact.vcf example with BDAY:--0415 to reproduce the issue. Check whether the same birthday data is preserved in export, then verify that importing the contact displays its name and birthday and that exporting includes BDAY.

Additional information
- I did .vcf export from the app and the exported contact doesn't include
BDAYfield either, which suggests it's not just a UI issue. - Birthdays with year specified seem to work fine.
