bluebubblesapp / bluebubbles-helper Goto Github PK

Occasionally I get an error from the bluebubbles app on Windows 11 complaining it can't connect to the server. When I check proxmox stats it shows my MacOS VM at 100% CPU usage. Today I managed to get there in time and found the "BlueBubbles Helper (Renderer).app" executable consuming 100% of all 4 CPU cores allocated. This quickly recovers after a couple of minutes.

I'm running BB 1.9.2 on intel MacOS 14.2. Nothing else running on the VM, just iMessage and BB. I'm not running in headless mode, if that matters. Happy to provide any additional logs, etc, needed.

From the server log, it looks like BB may have restarted at that time, it has entries indicating a startup then, but no indications in the log why.

[2023-12-18 13:03:11.641] [info]  Client Authenticated Successfully (Total Clients: 1)

Edit: False alarm, my VM rebooted on its own. Problem is on my end.

This is most notable when sending an attachment as a reply in the client app together with a text caption, but the text caption does not get included in the reply.

A lot of really old messages with attachments will have the attachments in iCloud/stored remotely, which can be manually downloaded using the download icon in iMessages.

Would be interesting to figure which private API is used to download it (Maybe something in IMFileTransferCenter?)

just wanted to let you know it, that's it, my bluetooth and my wifi just stopped working, booted with ubuntu on a pendrive and both worked just fine, I have to reinstall macos.

SMServer, WebMessage, and MyMessage all support this feature. (Idk where the code is in MyMessage's library)

Piggy backing of this issue
BlueBubblesApp/bluebubbles-server#446

Wondering if its possible to trigger focus mode only in iMessage mac app while not effecting the system wide focus state

https://github.com/w0lfschild/macOS_headers/tree/master/macOS/iOSSupport/PrivateFrameworks/IMCore

Apparently iOSSupport includes header files for Catalyst apps, though I'm not 100% sure on this.

If an old message hasn't been loaded into the Mac chat history, and you reply to that message from BB, nothing shows up in BB, and it shows up as a reply to a blank message on macOS and iOS.

Upon answering a call, the server joins the FaceTime, makes the link, sends it back to the client and then leaves but since the Android phone hasn't joined the call through the link immediately, and instead has to enter a name, permissions, etc., the call ends because the macOS server has left with no one left for the caller to talk to. Is there any reason for the macOS server to leave/Would it be unreasonable to keep the server in the call forever or until the client actually joins? I am also running this macOS server without a webcam, could this be the issue instead/Does the server need to have a webcam?

This is distinct from #21, this is a feature request for the app to display other user's focus mode status. For example, a chat on the native app(s) will show "[User] has notifications silenced" due to their focus mode settings. When you send a message while the other user has notifications silenced as such, the status for the message shows as "Delivered quietly." It would be nice to have this functionality in BlueBubbles as well.

The native feature also has a button to "send a notification," overriding the default behavior of delivering the notification quietly. This would be a nice feature as well, but I'm personally not too concerned about it (and it might be worthy of a separate issue/request for itself)

This isn't really an issue. If you really want an image as the icon you can change it from Mac OS. Just wanted to point it out so maybe it could be added in the next update.

This would be a nice continuity feature, though it may cause issues for chats that were manually pinned on the Android app. Would those chats sync to the Mac and then be pinned there too? Let me know what you guys think.

Here is a video showcasing the feature on iOS

and here it is on macOS.
As seen in BlueBubblesApp/BlueBubbles-Desktop-App#224, MyMessage has partial support for this feature since it shows mentioned names in boldface.

Mid 2009 MBP - El Capitan 10.11.6
BlueBubbles Server v1.5.5
mySIMBL v0.8.1 (72)
BlueBubbles-Helper v0.0.14

iMessage quits unexpectedly whenever a private API feature is used.

iMessage Error:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[IMChat sendMessageAcknowledgment:forChatItem:withMessageSummaryInfo:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fce2bcd48d0'
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
abort() called

iMessage Crash.txt

Private API installed successfully through mySIMBL and restarted the BlueBubbles Server, but other helper versions don't work as well (0.0.11, 0.0.10, etc.) Log doesn't show any issues aside from the private helper API disconnecting (Whenever a message or reaction is sent)

mySIMBL Configuration:

I appreciate any help with this!
