  • Mismatch on tapbacks when a photo is sent together with a text message.

    Mismatch on tapbacks when a photo is sent together with a text message.

    This isn't a huge deal, and I had this problem in AirMessage too (however, when sending a photo with text in BlueBubbles, the photo sends first and then the text which I think is done much better than AirMessage sending the text first).

    So here on iOS we can see the tapbacks go with the text, not the image, but on BlueBubbles, the tapbacks show up on the image. Also, would it be possible to group the tapbacks into numbered clutters? Thanks for everything and good luck on finals,

    Crashes After QR Code Scan

    Not able to complete setup. Once the setup QR code is scanned the app crashes. Opening the app again immediately crashes it. The only way to get the app open again is to clear storage, force stop, and relaunch. Same issue loop.

  • Sending a photo with text attached causes only the text to send (on Android both the image and text appear and on macOS only the image appears)

    I first encountered this strange bug in mid-December but since 99% of the other photos with text that I sent had no issues I thought it was just a strange one-time thing. However, I've had the same issue twice this past weekend so I then realized it was a repeated bug. This issue is present on all builds of the Android app (e.g. stable, beta, nightly). I also got the double picture bug on the third example.

  • High idle CPU usage with web app (conversations view)

    High idle CPU usage with web app (conversations view)

    Hello, new to BlueBubbles but very excited for the potential here. I haven't used the web app much, but off the bat I'm noticing very high CPU usage with the app idle, but focused (2 threads, 50% and 25% of an i5-1135G7). I've got the app "installed" to the desktop, so it's in its own window and the only Chromium window open, but I've reproduced the same behavior with the app as a tab. With the app in a standard tab and when it's not focused/foreground the CPU usage is not high, so that's a workaround. I've tried "low memory mode" so far without success. I've also tested in Firefox and CPU usage is perhaps a touch higher.

  • [Feature Request] Add BlueBubbles to Linux app stores

    [Feature Request] Add BlueBubbles to Linux app stores

    Part of why I chose to use Pop!_OS as my distro is because of the Pop!_Shop, an easy to use app store that has just about everything I need. Screenshot from 2021-10-19 17-18-06 Screenshot from 2021-10-19 17-13-08 I'm not too sure of the technical details on what kinds of packages it uses and all, but I do know that the Pop!_Shop does source from Flathub. Below is the link for the app submission process to Flathub. https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/App-Submission Below is a screenshot example of installing Discord through the Pop!_Shop. Screenshot from Screencast from 10-19-2021 05:14:37 PM webm One valid complaint I saw about making BlueBubbles available on Linux app stores is that there are just too many app stores. For example, Canonical has their own called Snapcraft. I'm not sure which shops are the best or the most universal or any of that, but I do know the Pop!_Shop has the ability to add other sources, and I assume most other Linux app stores would offer that too. Let me know what you think.

  • Biometrics lock bug

    Biometrics lock bug

    In the latest build, any action that requires authentication needs to authenticate twice. This also involves what seems to be an app switch between the two attempts, so if the app is set to Locked and Secured, it becomes impossible to unlock the app without a reinstall.

    Compress images on download instead of on load

    This is likely due to the attachment metadata being loaded into BB. Not sure why it lags the UI since it should all happen in the background. But maybe this is something we need to do via a dart VM so it doesn't lag the UI thread? Not sure

    on Android: does not initiate conversation to selected number

    I'm on Android 12, running BlueBubble Server on MacOS 10.13.6. In the Android app I select a person's phone number but it starts the conservation trying to send the message to the person's mail adress. Android app tells me that the message couldn't be delivered. I know that it tried to send using the mail adress, because I see it the native message app on the Mac.

  • v1.11.0+39(Dec 13, 2022)

    What's New?

    This is the first pre-release for the long-awaited "rewrite"! Due to the breadth of how much has changed, we would love to get as many testers using this as possible, to make sure that the stable release will be rock solid

    Note: After upgrading, if you do not see contacts/avatars, just close and re-open the app. They will be there, don't worry. We changed our contacts system.

    The Big Stuff

    • Full rewrite of the entire app
      • Backend completely redone to reduce potential for bugs and increase maintainability
      • Frontend completely redone to improve performance drastically and make the app prettier & more fun to use
      • Some stats:
        • 80,000+ lines of code modified
        • 450+ files changed
        • 100+ issues closed
        • 4 months / hundreds of hours in the making
        • Over 500 commits
    • Performance has drastically improved, which should also improve average FPS within the app.
      • Users with large contact lists should no longer see a long hang on the splash screen when opening the app.
      • You should no longer see "jank" when opening chats
      • The message send animation is much smoother
    • iMessage parity
      • Display mentions in bold
      • Display unsent messages
      • Display edited messages, along with their past edits
      • Improved URL previews
      • Image previews get clipped using the message bubble tail
      • Display more information for iMessage apps (e.g. Shazam, Apple Pay, YouTube, OpenTable, etc)
    • Notification reliability improvements
    • Way, way, way too many other changes to count. Bug fixes, performance improvements, new features - you name it, the app got it.

    Removed Features

    These are features that we may re-implement in the future, however, were removed for some good reasons.

    • Swipe actions on conversation tiles in iOS theme - use long-press for same functionality instead
    • Auto-play message effects - not reliable and seamless enough for prime-time
      • You can still manually play then by tapping the effect replay button
    • Reduced number of options in redacted mode

    What's Next?

    • 3 letters - take a guess ;) - how else could we follow up an update as big as this one?

  • v1.10.0+31(Jun 30, 2022)

    Note: This is a beta release! While it may be stable, it is still technically in beta.

    What's New?

    • Entire Theme System Rewrite
      • Including over 50 preset themes!

    What does this mean?

    In the upcoming v1.10.0 (stable) update, we have redone/rewritten the entire Theming System. And by we, I mean Tanay, so thank you! What that means is we've implemented Flutter's new theming system which allows us to better use, create, and manage themes, as well as gives us a lot more consistency between our UI elements.

    What do I get for installing this update?

    Outside of the Theme System Rewrite, we have made little to no changes to the stable base code. You should get the same (if not better) experience than the v1.9.1 stable release. In addition, you will now have access to a MUCH better theming system, as well as 50+ preset themes to choose from (light and dark).

    You'll also notice much better consistency between the UI components, and an overall smoother/nicer experience. Another perk of the new theming system is the ability to scale font sizes! You can now increase font size to properly account for display scaling :)

    What happens to my old themes?

    Unfortunately, this new system is not compatible with our old themes. By installing this update, your old theme will not be applied. However, you will be able to view and copy the colors from those old themes via a page within the Theming section.

    Notes

    • If you are on the Play Store beta program, please wait for Google to approve the beta release
    • If you haven't already, please consider leaving a review on the Google Play Store! It really helps us out!

  • 1.8.0+24(Dec 23, 2021)

    THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE

    Only download this build if you would like to try out cutting edge features/changes, or would like to help us out by testing for stability. We've made major changes to the backend of the app in the name of optimizing and creating a smoother overall experience. As such, when you first open the app, it will need to migration to the new database. We are hoping this is a 100% smooth process, but that's exactly why we need as many testers as we can get to make sure it's rock-solid. On the plus side, I think you'll all be happy with the changes we've made

    Notes About Android Auto

    • This release is split up into 2 "versions". One with Android Auto enabled and one with it disabled.

    • The Android Auto builds are below and are suffixed with -android-auto
    • In the future, I will only release the Android Auto builds here as we don't have the same restraints as the Play Store.

    What's new?

Due to this, we have temporarily removed Android Auto support. Android Auto support will be in the v1.4.0 release. If you would like Android Auto support, please consider downloading the v1.3.0 Beta 2 version found here:
