BlueBubbles App v1.12.2

What's New?

This release contains a handful of bug-fixes to fix issues that we discovered in v1.12.0. If you haven't checked out the changes in v1.12.0, please do so here: https://github.com/BlueBubblesApp/bluebubbles-app/releases/tag/v1.12.0%2B53

Check out our blog post!

Note: The Play Store & Microsoft Store releases have been submitted. Below are also the Windows/Linux standalone executables if you prefer to use those.

Fixes

  • Fixed issue where shared media would not show properly in the text field when trying to share to a contact.
  • Fixed issue where the sync would get stuck on 0%

Notes

  • The APK below supports Android Auto
  • You'll notice there is only 1 APK to download. This is because we've now bundled all platform APKs into a single one. We can now do this because we've moved away from using a custom Flutter engine, to using the official one after they've finally merged our code!

  • Bad certificate override now applies to all isolates

Notes

  • The APK below supports Android Auto
  • You'll notice there is only 1 APK to download. This is because we've now bundled all platform APKs into a single one. We can now do this because we've moved away from using a custom Flutter engine, to using the official one after they've finally merged our code!
