Sadly its that time again where the app needs to be updated. Please and thank you.

If you provide instructions on how i am more than willing to keep it going

@mrpcakes please see my pull request with updated build...I have tested the windows and linux versions...I don't use a mac so can't really speak to that--if you try that zipfile, please let me know if it works. Thanks, Dale

@dkfurrow yep i downloaded the windows zip file however needed to rename it from ,zip to .zip. it does work 👍

@mrpcakes I know I'm getting old when I can't tell a comma from a period! Fixed filenames in latest push. Thanks for the note, glad it's working for you.

Just build it yourself. Install node.js and then: 

sudo npm i nativefier -D -f -g

Then in a new Terminal: 

ua=$(curl -s https://whatmyuseragent.com/browser/chrome/ch | tac | tac | grep -o -m 1 'Mozilla[^"<]\+' | head -n1)
nativefier -n "Google Messages" "messages.google.com/web" -u "$ua" --internal-urls ".*accounts.google.com.*|remotedesktop.google.com/access/" --single-instance

Not sure this is a feature in this build, but my solution has its flaws, because it won't remember the window position, but that's it.

Sorry for the delay, should be resolved now: https://github.com/kelyvin/Google-Messages-For-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.4.2

To prevent this from happening often, will need someone's help in the following request: https://github.com/kelyvin/Google-Messages-For-Desktop/issues/36
