Hello markdirtyboy,

Try with this example pattern , I hope this will help you

var vCard = new StringBuilder();

        vCard.Append("BEGIN:VCARD");
        vCard.AppendLine();
        vCard.Append("VERSION:2.1");
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Name
        vCard.Append($"N:  {model.sLastname};{model.sFirstname};");
        vCard.AppendLine();

        vCard.Append($"FN:{model.sFirstname} {model.sLastname}");
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Company
        vCard.Append("ORG:");
        vCard.Append(model.sCompanyName);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Job Title
        vCard.Append("TITLE:");
        vCard.Append(model.sJobTitle);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Image
        FileModel file = FileModel.getByGuid(model.sProfilePicGuid);
        vCard.Append($"PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;TYPE={file.sFileType}:");
        vCard.Append(Convert.ToBase64String(file.FileData));
        vCard.AppendLine(string.Empty);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Tel
        vCard.Append("TEL");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("WORK");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("VOICE:");
        vCard.Append(model.sCompanyPhone);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Cell
        vCard.Append("TEL");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("CELL");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("VOICE:");
        vCard.Append(model.sPhoneNumber);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Email
        vCard.Append("EMAIL");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("PREF");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("INTERNET:");
        vCard.Append(model.sEmail);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Web site
        vCard.Append("URL");
        vCard.Append(";");
        vCard.Append("WORK:");
        vCard.Append(model.sWebsiteUrl);
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // Address
        string address = model.sAddress.Replace("\n"," ");
        vCard.Append($"ADR; WORK; PREF:; ; {address}; ; ; ; ");
        vCard.AppendLine();

        // End
        vCard.Append("END:VCARD");
        string result = vCard.ToString();

If you want to output in IOS devices ,

Use vCard.AppendLine() instead of vCard.Append("\n") because IOS devices uses "\r" instead of "\n".

vCard.AppendLine() produces "\r\n". That way it will work in Windows and IOS (linux)

Thank You.
