iMessage Plugin & MAcOS 11 ?

Having some trouble getting the iMessage app to work with Indigo 7.4 / MacOS 11.

Plugin is installed and seems to start successfully. But I get errors and such when I try to send a message.

Action Group iMessage Test
iMessage Plugin Debug sendImsg() method called.
iMessage Plugin Debug sendImsg() buddyHandle:myaddress@mydomain.com and theMessage:this is a test iMessage and use lastBuddy:False
iMessage Plugin Debug as_sendmessage() method called.
iMessage Plugin Debug Sending iMsg:this is a test iMessage to Buddy/User:myaddress@mydomain.com
iMessage Plugin Debug A error of type :ScriptError occured. The longer message is :Expected class name but found identifier.
iMessage Plugin Error An Error occured within the iMsg AppleScript component - ScriptError
iMessage Plugin Error The Error was :Expected class name but found identifier. (-2741) range=126-133
iMessage Plugin Error Caught Exception:

File "plugin.py", line 1184, in sendiMsg

I authorized full disk access in all the places where it is needed. If this is something I should expect to work, I'll keep trying. Anyone have any luck, advice or insight to send my way it would be most appreciated.

Hi

It would seem that Big Sur OSX 11 does not allow iMessages access.

But also

So may be back, but just changed...

Probably changed... might be hard to troubleshoot though...

Also folders and sql database where messages saved changed and altered. Essentially this is a major breaking change which means the Plugin will not work on Big Sur. Seems to have lead to a number of messages related apps closing down... eg.

Will keep looking and see if other options.

Hi all,

Good news - further to this, have discovered can likely fix/update the Plugin to fully function in Big Sur.

Working on it now, should have a test release available sometime next week.

Hi

Try version 0.4.7
Add compatibility for Big Sur released. Backward compatibility maintained.
Still needs Full disk access & potentially Matts fix here
for error 'Error "Not authorized to send Apple events to Messages"' if occurs

- Involves creating a script file for iMessages, save and then run from within Indigo - OS shoudl prompt a window 'allow access' click yes, and plugin send messages should now also work

Working for me on Big Sur ....

Please test and let me know before release.

Thanks

Has anyone verified the fix for Big Sur? Updating my server now and I rely on this iMessage plugin !

Mine is working fine(!)- wasn’t a huge fix, so hopefully you have the same experience

All updated..

Thanks GlennNZ... btw I had to do every step listed in the link... and everything seems to be working fine.

And thanks for this plugin (I installed the newest version on GitHub before upgrading to Big Sur). Our indigo sends iMessages all day long and it is the primary notification method for us. It would be miserable if the plugin went away.

This could be a nifty feature for using Messages with Amazon products: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/03/how-to- ... phone.html
