Now that TBSync & Provider no longer work in TB, how do we continue to sync/use Apple AddressBook with TB?

I am able to add the Apple iCal Calendar(s) by figuring out the URL here: https://frightanic.com/apple-mac/thunderbird-icloud-calendar-sync/ https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-find-your-icloud-calendar-url/

How does one add the Apple Addressbook and/or find the Addressbook cardDav URL?

I figured it out for anyone needing it:

  1. 1. Add new Address Book as CardDAV
  2. 2. Use this URL format: https://<server-id>-contacts.icloud.com/<dsid>/carddavhome/card/
    1. ex: https://p12-contacts.icloud.com/123456789/carddavhome/card/

(Use the links in the first post to get your <server-id> and <dsid>)
