The original logic was: try to get new date, if error, do nothing (so leave
the contact.birthday as it is).
There is no problem with the original code, but it just not catches all
errors and in this case is the 'Invalid Date' error which never throws.
The error I was getting on iOS was caused by a third party js lib that was
iterating through contact props, checking if the prop was an object and it was
then was doing a toJSON() and because contact.birthday was an object but in
form of an error, that was the key element that made safari throw an error.
Firefox and Chrome does not throw an error if toJSON() is called on an 'Invalid
Date' object.
So the error was indirectly caused by contacts plugin.
