Hello @ebdavison, thanks for your bug report! I can't reproduce the error on my own instance. Can you update the Nextcloud instance as well as the contacts app and retest? If not, can you tell me since when the issue do appear? Thanks for your feedback!

I have the same issue. Nothing at all is displayed.

I'm on Contacts 8.3.5 and Nextcloud Hub 25 Autumn 32.0.6

I was experiencing the same blank Contacts page issue. Looking closely at the browser console errors, I noticed the JavaScript files were being referenced with .mis file extensions instead of .mjs:

• style-TpW0z-Cn.chunk.mis
• modulepreload-polyfill-C3thI0Bn.chunk.mis
• index-DV0oeAsD.chunk.mis

This meant the browser was blocking them due to MIME type mismatch (text/html instead of application/javascript), since .mis isn't a recognised JavaScript file type.

The fix was simply removing and reinstalling the Contacts app:

occ app:remove contacts
occ app:install contacts

After reinstalling, the files had the correct .mjs extensions and the app loaded normally.

It seems like the app installation had become corrupted at some point, with the file extensions getting truncated or mangled. Worth trying if you're seeing similar MIME type errors in your console — check whether the URLs reference .mis rather than .mjs.

Thanks @jdaviescoates for your analysis! That helps us in getting a clue about what's the issue here.
