What's New

New Features

• Support for message searching on macOS Ventura and newer via the Private API
• Google Login to download contacts from your Google Account
  • This will not continuously sync your Google Contacts
• Apple Silicon (ARM) Native Build! You can now run the BlueBubbles Server natively on an Apple Silicon Mac
  • This has not been extensively tested yet, but we figured we'd make it available
  • The Cloudflare (and maybe Ngrok & Zrok) daemon still will require Rosetta to run because they have not released Apple Silicon compatible builds yet
• Ability to disable the automatic opening of the FindMy app on startup (see settings)
• Settings toggle to allow auto-start as a Launch Agent to achieve crash-persistence

Fixes

• Fixes detection of delivered messages when sent from other Apple devices
• Replaces automatic update service with a more manual update process

  • This fix only applies to all future sent attachments and will not fix older bugged attachments
  • Also fixes an issue where old images would appear wrong after clearing the attachment cache
• Fixes bug with sending text + attachments using the multipart endpoint
• Error and Warning logs are now colored red and orange, respectively
• Improvements & fixes to the OAuth Firebase setup process

• Fixes issue detecting new messages, resulting in missed notifications
