Contacts Mini-app type or collection missing

What went wrong?

I keep getting the person type is not installed on this space whenever I try to add a new contact. I've tried removing then re-adding the mini-app to my space and that hasn't fixed anything. I also still have the profile type and contacts collection still existing in my space, so I'm not sure what's broken.

What should happen?

Whenever I use the plus menu in the contacts mini-app to select person > contacts, I should get a newly created contact.

Thanks for reporting this — the screenshot showing the error message helps clarify what's happening.

To get us closer to a fix, a couple of questions:

When you removed and re-added the Contacts mini-app, did you also remove the person type and contacts collection manually first, or did the mini-app removal handle that? (I'm asking because the error suggests the mini-app's installer isn't finding or recreating the person type even though the collection still exists.)
What's the current state of your space's types right now? Does person show up in your types list at all, or is it completely gone? And does the contacts collection still point to a valid type, or does it show as "broken" or "unknown"?

I manually removed person because when removing the mini-app, that collection isn't removed. When I added the space back, the person collection isn't added back. Also the person collection isn't in the archive so there's no way for me to manually restore it.

person never showed up as a type for me, it's always listed as a collection. However, profile still exists as a type. *The two crossed out aren't related to profiles and are a different project.
