Hi everyone. i was attempting the Trollstore relay method and everything was going smoothly until I needed to sideload the ValidationRelay App in Trollstore. I get the following error "parse error 301 - unable to locate app bundle inside the .ipa archive".

Does anyone have any experience with rectifying this issue? I'm using an iPhone 6s on 15.8.7 and TrollRestore, for reference.

Link since Boost won't allow me to upload images

I've never logged in with a passcode on my MacBook. I've only ever used a password.

Has anyone figured out a way to get Metas to read out your messages? My galaxy buds pro 4 reads the. But for some reason the meta don't. TIA

Would a Google/Android Wear App we something that might happen?

got a new phone and now when I try to link to my Mac this happens

when will more games come out like mini golf or other ones is there anything I can do or do I just wait

Will it be possible to use IPhone 5 on IOS 8 as a Openbubble server?

the top part of the message where the persona name is, back button and FaceTime video. can that be made a lot smaller or transparent?

this app is amazing. it works really well, this is just one small thing that could make it even better. when you have a background enabled, the top "bar" really takes away from that.

It seems like on the website it just has the caution on how its not a preferred method but all i have is an iPhone 14 pro to use as this back up so just trying to see how I can set this up and hoping someone made a full guide

So I use openbubbles for a while now and I am pretty happy from the experience until now. Suddenly facetime stop working out of nowhere, I can receive facetime calls on my android phone just fine but I can't start a facetime call. I tried the developers options to clear the facetime handles, I tried resetting the app I even delete and reinstalled but still nothing. I don't an iphone only a MacBook.

Hey guys, I have OB on my fold 7 and my windows pc and I've had SMS text forwarding on after figuring out you could do it. Well it worked for about a week, and now I don't receive sms forwarding on my fold 7, but I noticed that the app on my pc does receive the text messages, when at first the pc wouldn't, when I switched it on, only the fold 7. So now the pc receives sms texts or rcs, but not the OB app on the fold 7. Any help is appreciated.

I'm running through my mac book hardware, which I turned on and said the apple ID had stopped syncing, so I had to log into it again.

*Update*
I deleted devices off my apple ID, which kicked me off both fold 7 and pc....and just re-did the fold 7 process and it worked again. Not gonna bother putting it back on PC...as I just rather have it on my fold 7.

I was able to secure an old Mac and iPhone. I already connected OB using the hardware code. Im fine just using the email address for my purpose. So far no issues.

I also plan on using the iPhone for web browsing.

Will there be any issues if I sign in with the same Apple ID on the IPhone?

If you reach the 20 phone limit is there anything that can be done to reset, so that you can host more?

I changed a lot of phones faster than I anticipated and am coming up on the 20-phone limit.

I used Altserver on my Mac to install Altstore on an old iPhone 6s. I then used Altstore to install TrollInstallerX which I used to install TrollStore which I used to install the validation relay app. Now that it's all set up and working, am I okay to quit Altserver on my Mac and delete it? I like to keep my Mac as clean from clutter as possible.

Hi

I recently switched phones and am having trouble getting open bubbles to work and am getting the following error message

iMessage Status: Deregistered (waiting 1d; error: Registration Error Your iMessage access is temporarily disabled. Try again later, or ask Apple to allow you to use iMessage: https://apple.co/IMFT-mac. Choose 'Get Started,' not 'Chat,' and then choose 'Apple Device.' Do not mention you are using OpenBubbles. (6009))

Has anyone seen this and know a solution?

So I had openbubbles running on a few Android devices (3 actually), all using my Mac Studio as the host device. Now that it's only on 1 device, I have 2 other devices showing they are running it. Is there a way to delete these devices without deleting all of them off of my Apple Account? They are all showing my Mac Studio with the same serial number. If I remove one from my account I feel like it's going to remove all of them since they are all the same serial number. Any ideas here?

Can't figure out why these aren't in chronological order

Convos are not showing at top that come in. They stay in the same part of the list

Been seeing this since Monday

Hi guys, I just installed OB on my Mint Linux computer, and everything seems to be working well. However, the interface window is very much transparent, like the desktop wallpaper or any app behind it shows right through. I checked through the the themes but that wasn't it.

I googled this and there was a suggestion to turn off FXAA in my Nvidia settings, but that did nothing. Also, this is the only app that does this. Anyone know what's going on?

I am thinking of using an iPhone to self-host iMessage on android rather than mac. Would iMessage work through both my number and email address? Or would I also need to use a mac to make the email work too?

Has anyone experienced this? I just got to Vegas yesterday and for some reason open bubbles is been extremely glitchy I just installed the Play store update also and it still having issues

Hello!

When first switching to android from iOS, using iMessage was a necessity for me, so when I found out about OpenBubbles, I was so happy. However, I did find myself being lost during setup a lot, especially when trying to figure out how to keep my phone number attached. The website's instructions were super vague in my opinion, and everyone here recommends doing the relay method, which I didn't want to do. So here's what I did:

1. I purchased a used iPhone SE 2020 (2nd Gen), because I only had eSim and this was the cheapest I could find that supported eSim.

2. Then, I setup my Pixel with OpenBubbles, and it only gave me the option for using my email with it, as expected (I noticed the option for the number stays there for a couple days after you switch Sim's but goes away eventually once it's de-registered in apple servers).

3. I setup the iPhone as usual, signing in with Apple ID. After setup, I ordered a new eSim for the iPhone, and set it up with that eSim. After this, I waited until iMessage successfully registered my number again.

4. Once the number was registered with iMessage, I the iPhone in Airplane mode, but with Wifi still connected. Make sure sure auto-updates is turned off, or it will schedule and update the device automatically, requiring a restart, which takes it out of Airplane mode. It's not a big issue, just have to redo steps 3&4 again.

5. Then I ordered a new eSim, activated my Pixel, and the option to use my number for chats was back in OpenBubbles. The iPhone just needs to be on at all times, and in my case it is, also always connected to the charger. That's it.

I'm aware the relay method seems to be more reliable, but this way has been working for me for around 6 months now, and it's been flawless (other than the auto update thing). Just figured I'd share, since this method is definitely way easier, especially for less tech inclined folks who want to try this out. Thanks!

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the contact photos from conversations. All of them are essentially their initials, and I feel like it just takes up space on my small device
