Description
Steps to reproduce
- Configure replication between Android calendar and Nextcloud Calendar.
- Create a user in Nextcloud, including the mail address.
- In Android, create an event in the Nextcloud Calendar, getting it replicated to Nextcloud through DAVx5. In the event invite the contact you already created, using the mail address defined in the Nextcloud user profile.
- Save the event and let the replication works.
Expected behaviour
The event should recognize the user in Nextcloud and consider it as "Nextcloud user", not an external user by mail.
Actual behaviour
The user invited is the email address put in the Android side, but not merged with the Nextcloud user.
Calendar app
Calendar app version: 2.3.0

Research direction
Reproduce the event flow with Android, DAVx5, and a Nextcloud user whose profile contains the invitee's email address. Trace how the replicated invitation is matched to users, then verify that the saved event treats the invitee as a Nextcloud user rather than an external email address.
