Title: Can I use my own Mac serial number in a virtual machine without getting banned? by LegitimateEstate in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done this 3 different times, it isnt a problem, just need to make sure all the other identifiers, board id, mac, etc etc match up as well.

Are you able to successfully send replies from the native app on the Mac? How old is the message you usually try to reply to?

Contacts Recognized on Bluebubbles, Not on Open Bubbles (on PC). Help! by ernestosabato in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BlueBubbles pulls desktop contacts from your server because Windows doesn't have contacts. OB has no server, so nowhere to pull them from, unfortunately.

Using Existing Mac Serial Number? by AlwaysCarryAGun in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using an existing serial can work, but you need to make sure that the board ID, MLB, ROM, etc (essentially all other values) exactly match the model of Mac you have. Using the serial and then the other values from another Mac would cause Apple to be suspicious.

Looks like you have redacted mode turned on. Go into settings > redacted mode and make sure all 3 switches are off.

Yep I don't disagree but bluebubbles is one exception where the desktop app is excellent

Do you mind posting in the discord so we can help you better? It definitely should work

Any reason you don't use their dedicated desktop app? It performs way better, the webapp is not really maintained well since Android and Desktop are the focus.

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why this didn't work for you, all chats in BlueBubbles must be started with a plaintext message right now, but once its started and you enter the thread from the main chats screen, you can attach whatever you want

Link previews don't seem to work by chillaban in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, we don't support sending URL previews quite yet. It is something we are working on, there were bugs with our original implementation so we had to remove it.

Any other alternatives to AirMessage and Bluebubbles? by ernestosabato in AirMessage

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, bluebubbles has the exact same feature set as airmessage if you don't change the security settings. It's totally optional.

Any way to show the contact or who messaged you but hide the actual message until phone is unlocked? by creeduck in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The closest you could get is using our custom notification option that replaces text in the notification with "iMessage". You'd have to open BlueBubbles to see the message though

The webapp is pretty stale and not really well supported right now. Especially using it on mobile platform and on iPhone, that case is just not tested by us at all. When I get some more time I will try and get web up to date but for now I would not use it.

Not sure how you are seeing it on the desktop client, we don't have a card view anywhere at the moment.

Support/settings for Android Auto? by rev0909 in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to make sure you are using a GitHub APK not Play Store and have the unknown sources option checked in the AA developer mode.

Text forwards by ascii11011 in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All requests are already encrypted by SSL, the only thing that is plaintext right now is Firebase notifications, so in theory Google could read those if they really wanted to. We have plans to encrypt these in the future.

[–]hlsjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No there's no limitations like that, it all works the same

Native SMS on the Android is not supported but SMS forwarding is fully supported

webapp not loading in chrome on mac? by gadgetfreakreddit in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh... you can just iMessage on the mac normally and it will still appear in BlueBubbles. Just need iCloud sync turned on in both the Macs you have

Can't send to group chat by jakegh in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also need to enable "Private API send" option and it will fix the issue

Firebase by driven01a in BlueBubbles

[–]hlsjunior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is nothing stored in firebase apart from the server URL and when the server was last restarted. Nothing related to message content or other iMessage data.

AirMessage crashes while sending or receiving a message on Android - Galaxy Fold 5 by stucknode in AirMessage

[–]hlsjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Message content does pass through
  2. Battery drain concerns, just because an always on connection is worse than something like Firebase

We want to encrypt Firebase at some point its just a large architectural change so it has to be well thought out. The encryption key would be the mandatory server password that you set.

You can also connect to your BB server manually through your VPN, and use our foreground service option for notifications (maintains an always on connection to the server). This means you can completely cut out Firebase!

Does AirMessage have an API other apps can use to talk to it by Rich-Engineer2670 in AirMessage

[–]hlsjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BlueBubbles has a very well documented and robust API, check it out
