RCS messages does not work within Messages app in split tunnel #30

Closed MarkIannucci closed 5 years ago

I noticed that my phone reverts to using SMS messages for contacts who would normally have RCS messages after enabling pi-hole with split tunneling. I started a thread in the pi-hole userspace where one of their developers helped me realize it was the split tunnel that was causing the problem.

I've opened this issue to work through figuring out which apps I need to whitelist in order for RCS messaging to keep working. Unfortunately whitelisting the messages app wasn't sufficient enough :(

I've tried white listing the following apps:

and still haven't been able to get the RCS messages to work while I'm split tunneled on the VPN

It looks like adding Carrier Services did the trick. I removed the others and RCS messages still look good. PR inbound.
