Google has been slowly killing XMPP for their users for the last four years... https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/24/15051272/google-talk-gchat-replaced-hangouts-messaging-gmail
I suppose the real bug is that yaxim is still advertising support for GTalk and Facebook, while both have more or less killed it.
Sorry, there is nothing I can do about it :(
Could be, however, Xabber still works all right (although I like the Yaxim's simple interface MUCH more). I understand you do not want to invest additional time, though. Consider removing the support of gtalk from description of the app...
You are using yaxim and Xabber with the same account, on a different server than Gmail? In that case, both clients should work the same way and show the same contacts as online / offline.
The real issue here is that as soon as your contacts use Hangouts, they won't be seen by you any more, won't see you, and won't receive your messages.
I use both only for gtalk, both with the same account. I do not use hangouts at all - on mac os I use the built in im client with no problems as well.
So you have configured your gmail account in yaxim / Xabber then?
Sorry, I do not quite understand this. I use a single gmail account everywhere, I only have had one since a long time ago.
Have you configured your gmail account in yaxim, or are you using a different XMPP account to talk to your gmail friends? What is the domain name in the address that is shown in yaxim's notification?
No, it's always gmail. I do not use any other xmpp account.
Understood. I will have a check of the code.
Hi, any updates on this?
Sorry that it took so long, I was looking for a gmail user that I could test this with. So far I found the following behavior:
This looks like an anti-spam / anti-surveillance mechanism by google, as far as I can see. There is nothing in yaxim that I could do to change the situation.
Thanks for clarification. However, this is weird since Xabber does not exhibit this behaviour and I can see the contacts straightaway. Can this be solved by some automating 'pinging' of the contacts?
Since version 0.9 the GTalk contacts show offline, even though they are not. Sometimes, reconnecting solves the issue, more often it does not.
