> Apps crash when find() is called with undefined members of ContactFieldType.
> For example, the following code sets desiredFields to {{xx}} or {{yyy}} which are actually not defined in ContactFieldType.
> {code:javascript}
> options.desiredFields = [navigator.contacts.fieldType.xx, navigator.contacts.fieldType.yyy];
> var fields = [navigator.contacts.fieldType.displayName, navigator.contacts.fieldType.name];
> navigator.contacts.find(fields, onSuccess, onError, options);
> {code}
> In Objective-C code, those undefined members are turned into {{NSNull}} object. Therefore {{calcReturnFields}} method receives {{fieldArray}} which contains {{NSNull}} objects, then analyses {{fieldStr}} NSString object which is actually {{NSNull}} at {{[fieldStr componentsSeparatedByString:@"."]}} and eventually an app crashes.
> I tweaked {{calcReturnFields}} method to ignore {{NSNull}} object as below and this looks working fine.
> {code:title=CDVContact.m}
>         for (id i in fieldsArray) {
>             NSMutableArray* keys = nil;
>             NSString* fieldStr = nil;
>             if ([i isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]]) {
>                 fieldStr = [i stringValue];
>             // ST modified start
>             } else if([i isEqual:[NSNull null]]){
>                 continue;
>             // ST modified end
>             } else {
>                 fieldStr = i;
>             }
> {code}
> By this modification, all invalid desiredField types are ignored and those types could be thought to be "not found". In my opinion, this behaviour would make sense to developer as {{find()}} is called with dodgy desiredField parameters then those types shouldn't be included in the returned contact data. As far as I know, at least {{find()}} for Android behaves like this. 
> By the way, I couldn't see supported parameters for {{desiredField}} in document. If I look at {{ContactFieldType.js}}, those members are populated from {{Contact}}, {{ContactAddress}}, etc.. It would be nice to clearly describe all supported types.
