Moving away from my Nextcloud because I only use it for Calendar, Contacts, and bookmarks. I feel it's way too bloated for such simple things.

Anyone know the EXACT Radicale settings for Contacts on iOS?

This is what I have been trying: https://subdomain.domain.com/user and then under advanced: SSL turned on. Port 8443. https://subdomain.domain.com:8443/user.

All the checks say successful but nothing ever syncs. I know my Radicale setup is working right because I am able to sync to Android via Davx5 and to my desktop via Thunderbird. I even setup Baikal as well because I read somewhere that it has iOS support, but ended up with the same issues. I can sync with Android and Desktop but not iOS.

You need some .well-known url redirects for proper iOS support. Ironically, Nextcloud describes this quite well. You should be able to adapt this to your setup: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/properly-resolving-well-known-caldav-or-well-known-carddav/82617

I’m not sure if this is your exact problem but it’s worth investigating. I had to fix this before iOS clients started syncing with NextCloud. Desktop and android clients would sync fine.

Glad whatever guide I was using gave me the redirects for caddy and have had no issues with Nextcloud.

I also had similar issues on iOS when I migrated to Baikal. Every other device was working fine.

Double check that your certificates are valid. I don't remember the exact details but Apple made a few changes somewhat recently in regards of what kind of certs are accepted on their devices.

If you're using self signed certs you have to install them manually as well, don't forget that.

I just went back to NextCloud and made it barebones (Bookmarks, Calendar, Tasks, & Contacts only) Everything still working perfectly lol. Thanks anyways though.
