Bug description

The generated Apple configuration profile (.mobileconfig) contains the internal account UID as the CalDAV/CardDAV username instead of the username displayed by Nextcloud during App Password creation.

As a result, the generated profile cannot be installed on macOS without manual modification.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Nextcloud Server 34.0.1.
2. Use the default local user backend (no LDAP, OpenID Connect or SAML).
3. Create a local user with:
   • an internal account name (UID)
   • an email address
4. Enable login via email address.
5. Log in using the email address.
6. Create an App Password under Settings → Security → Devices & sessions.
7. Download the Apple configuration profile from the Personal settings page.
8. Install the profile on macOS.

Expected behavior

The generated Apple configuration profile should use the same username that Nextcloud tells the user to use together with the generated App Password.

The profile should install without requiring manual edits.
