                      vCard.firstName = testingdatalist[index].displayname!;
                      vCard.jobTitle = testingdatalist[index].jobtitle!;

you can use flutter_contacts package. you can simply create a Contact object from .vcf file content and insert it!

import 'package:flutter_contacts/flutter_contacts.dart';

// Import contact from vCard
Contact contact = Contact.fromVCard('BEGIN:VCARD\n'
      'VERSION:3.0\n'
      'N:;Joe;;;\n'
      'TEL;TYPE=HOME:123456\n'
      'END:VCARD');

contact.insert();

p.s: in order to create contacts you need to add READ and WRITE permissions to your application. for that, Add the following key/value pair to your app's Info.plist (for iOS):

 <plist version="1.0">
 <dict>
     ...
     <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
     <string>Reason we need access to the contact list</string>
 </dict>
 </plist>

Add the following tags to your app's AndroidManifest.xml (for Android):

 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ...>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
     <application ...>
     ...
