iChat Support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I guess this would be a feature request...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use iChat as your IM Client with jabber account for Gtalk setup
2. Account does not show up, and messages are ignored by iChat

What is the expected output?
It would be great if iChat support was available.  It worked great with Adium 
(Mac) and Pidgin (PC), but I even tried creating a new account and having that 
specifically for my phone.  Still no beuno.

What do you see instead?
App will connect fine via the phone and I receive growl notifications from 
iChat with the messages of starting and stopping the app, but I can not get a 
chat window to myself/phone to send commands and receive the notifications.

Additional informations:
GTalkSMS version = 2.0
Android OS version = 2.2
Phone model = Droid X

Unfortunately I am not a Mac user. ;-) But the wikipedia says on iChat that its 
also an XMPP client and you seem to be able to add the GTalkSMS XMPP account to 
your iChat rooster.
I don't see were we should support iChat especially because by design GTalkSMS 
should work with *every* XMPP Client out there, thanks to the open XMPP 
specifications, including iChat.
Asking naively: When you see the phone/GTalkSMS coming online in iChat, why 
can't you just start chatting with that account, sending commands to GTalkSMS?

For some reason iChat thinks you shouldn't IM yourself, so when you click
the growl notification to open a new chat, it does nothing.

I understand your reason and I need to check and see if I can add an xmpp
account. Right now it is a jabber account.

that

open

why

xmpp = jabber :)
Now I understand the problem. Method 1 (using your own chat account for 
gtalksms) has its drawbacks, so just create an extra jabber account for 
gtalksms, add the account to your rooster and you should be fine.

I tried that...still doesn't work.  I think since I "invited" myself, it
still sees it as myself.  Adium worked wonderfully, I might just use it for
my gtalk only...

There is nothing we could do, to make iChat (or other XMPP clients that prevent 
the user to send message to themselves) support Method 1.

Creating an extra gtalk/jabber/XMPP account for GTalkSMS and adding this 
contact to your gtalk/jabber/XMPP rooster is the preferred method for users of 
these clients.
