It works good. However, I suggest you make option to delay the notification. So that not all incoming SMS will be forwarded. Only missed sms or at least for 30 seconds.

Note: The app carsh after I click break option!

Dear Yasmani,

I was using your app to forward SMS to email addresses and it was working great. However, since May 13th, I only get error messages "Attempting to resend errored recipient." So I wanted to check the mail account details, but now your app displays a 404 error on the myaccount.google.com and I can't even check the details.

Any idea what the cause could be ?

I also thought I would update the app but it's not on GooglePlay and I am not sure if a new version was released since the issue started happening.

Thank you in advance for your answer.
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi,

The app was discontinued from the Google Play Store long time ago. Since then, Google also made changes to the Gmail Services that broke compatibility with old versions of the app.

You need to uninstall the version of the app that you have currently on your phone, and download the latest version from any of the following stores:

Samsung Galaxy Store:

https://galaxy.store/messagef

Amazon App Store:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08514NYST

XDA Labs:

[Android Apps and Games] OggyTheFroggy:
Dear Yasmani,

Thank you for your quick answer. It is also a very good answer because it now works again. However, I was wondering how I could get back my license, since I already paid for the app.

Thank you a lot in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Google made policy changes, including the ban of access to SMS and MMS on the user's device, which Message Forwarder cannot function without. So the app was rejected and removed by Google early last year.

Cannot upgrade to premium as it says that it cannot acces m,y google account can you help pls
[Android Apps and Games] chan200606:
Hi, have started trying this app and it seems to work well until yesterday, when Google enabled RCS for all (?) Messages users in Australia. Now the app won't pick up any of the messages that come through, presumably because they are all RCS and not SMS any more. Is there a way to overcome this?
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi. Google has not made RCS available on Android at the system level for third-party apps, so Message Forwarder cannot support it just yet. When RCS becomes available at the system level, then Message Forwarder should be able to support it and this won't be an issue. Unfortunately, the only work around for now is to turn off RCS in the Messages app until the Android System gets RCS integration built-in.
[Android Apps and Games] chan200606:
I see. Okay, thanks.

BTW if I upgrade to Premium, will that upgraded status be "locked" to the phone (i.e. may lose it if I change phones) or even app install (i.e. may lose it if I uninstall then re-install even on same phone)?
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
You can unlock premium on as many devices as you need, including if you change phones in the future. You just need to contact me when that happens so that I can assist. Upon app uninstall and reinstall, if the user already unlocked premium once on that device, the user can reinstate it on their own.
[Android Apps and Games] rz-betrieb@mgb.ch:
Upgrade the Message Forwarder

Is there a way to upgrade the Message Forwarder with all settings? I mean: After installing the latest apk all configs are gone and I have to rebuild them, which is very time consuming.

It would be great if you could save the configuration or if you could check if there is an older version of the apk available on a newer installation, then the configuration is taken over and the old version is uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi. Updating the app to the latest version normally keeps its data intact. The reason why you may have lost your data in one of these upgrades, is because last year there were some issues with Google's Ad Network that required the release of the app under a new package name (technically as if it were a completely different app). This issue was resolved, so this data loss problem should not happen again.

Hi,

the app looks good but it only supports preconfigured smtp proxy from Google and Microsoft.

Are there any plans to support an own server ?
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi,

Actually, the app does not use SMTP at all for Gmail or Outlook; it uses each service's REST APIs and Oauth for authentication.

SMTP is an old protocol that comes with some security concerns; mainly, the fact that it requires passwords to be stored locally on the user's device. For this reason, there's no plan to support SMTP at the moment.

You can still somewhat make use of your own e-mail servers through mail forwarding from Gmail or Outlook though.

Hi @yasmanillanes

What is the minimum supported android OS version? My android version is 6.0.1 and I am getting a package parsing error while trying to install.

Edit: NVM i found the apk from page 3 of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] samja666:
hi @yasmanillanes

First of all, great app. Perfectly fits my needs

I am using a brand new outlook account created exclusively to forward messages using your app.

I have two issues with outlook.

1. My outlook is blocked. with the below reason

"We noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook.com account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked your account. "

2. I get the error message in outlook. "Remote Server returned '533 5.4.0 Your message seems to have triggered our junk email filters. Could you edit your message and try again?'

I understand it might not be directly connected to your app. But I wanted to let you know as using outlook with your app might have some limitations?.
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi,

Different e-mail providers have different limits on how many e-mails can be sent in a given period of time without hitting a predetermined ceiling.

My understanding is that Outlook is quite stringent about this. If you're sending too many e-mails and Outlook is giving you a hard time, try switching to Gmail; I hear Gmail is far looser in that regard.

Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi,

Make sure you actually download the file to your device first, and then install. If you have the DropBox app installed on your phone, Android might be trying to install through the DropBox app, and that could be what is causing the error.

[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:

If you're using the Samsung or Amazon version of the app, one license should work as long as both devices are logged on to the same Samsung or Amazon account respectively. If you're using the standalone version, then a single purchase will do too.

Like a repository for binary packages ?
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
@morklavor and @dee0887

Hi, it looks like Samsung or Google's update to the OS broke the app's internal storage somehow. Simply go to Settings -> Apps -> Message Forwarder -> Storage -> Clear Data. This should fix the issue, but you'll have to recreate your configurations in Message Forwarder again.
[Android Apps and Games] morklavor:
Yes it does hold ! gonna be back here if it crashes again after redoing the configurations :P

Edit: I downloaded the APK from the opening post and same problem persists

[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
Hi Glenn,

Unfortunately I don't have an answer. It is a standard APK no different from the one you used to initially install the app. The only thing I can think of could be causing this, is some third-party service (like Google Play Services) blocking the installation. Could you share your device's manufacturer and Android version you're running? I wonder if they match plapic's.

I extracted this from my phone. Hope it helps
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
@plapic @DawG^ @hadiceberg

The issue has been fixed. The latest version (still labeled 2.0.0) should now be compatible with Android 12.

For those who are curious:

When working on the update, I had issues getting the Android 12 emulator to launch, so I rolled the dice and published the app without testing it. I assumed there wouldn't be much of a change between Android 11 and Android 12. That was obviously a mistake.

Turns out Google introduced a series of changes (not just the explicit `exported` property mentioned above) that broke compatibility with some libraries the app depends on; mainly, the Oauth2 library used for the "forwarding to e-mail" feature. Unfortunately that library is no longer maintained, but thankfully it was open source. I downloaded its source code, fixed the Android 12 compatibility issues and recompiled it. Still, I need to find a replacement for this library. For now, the patched version Message Forwarder is using should hold up a bit longer.
[Android Apps and Games] Herbert Wells:
Hello. There were problems with 2.0.0. The dynamic message in Russian is not forwarded.

Thanks @yasmanillanes the update was successful this time on Android 12.
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
@hadiceberg @Herbert Wells

I did a superficial test and it seems to work as expected. What exactly does your configuration look like? Because dynamic messages now support RegEx, the rules are run in sequential order and are more strict. Maybe your old configuration needs to be tweaked slightly.
[Android Apps and Games] hadiceberg:
The SMS message is:

And the keyword is:

I also tried the test feature and it was rejecting this message.

@hadiceberg @Herbert Wells

Alright, the Dynamic Content Issue has been resolved in the latest update (still labeled 2.0.0).
[Android Apps and Games] Herbert Wells:
Maybe you will change the numbering during modifications, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, so that we can report errors during testing?

Backing up the configurations to a file is something I've been planning on implementing but haven't got the chance yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to it soon.

For now, the app still supports Android's built-in backup/restore functionality though.
[Android Apps and Games] hadiceberg:
Try using Swift Backup. If you haven't/don't want to root your device, it seems to work in combination with Shizuku. give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] Odenkurtiak:
Sounds like something pretty interesting. I think it's convenient to use such an application as Message Forwarder. I want some of the text messages I receive on the temp phone number Germany I use to be forwarded. I use a temp phone number to feel safer, and sometimes I don't pay much attention to these SMS, and I can forget about them. That's why some of the most important ones I would like to be redirected directly to my real phone number. This way, I will draw more attention to them, and respectively I will not forget some important appointments. Let me know if this application exists now. I would love to introduce it to my life.

[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
It has been brought to my attention that simply clearing the app's data (Settings -> Apps -> Message Forwarder -> Storage -> Clear Data) solves the issue for those experiencing messages without recipients on version 2.0.1. I'm not sure why this is happening to some users, since the database schema did not change from version 2.0.0, but it should allow them to move forward without being stuck on version 2.0.0. You will have to recreate your configurations though.
[Android Apps and Games] yasmanillanes:
A quick announcement. I long awaited feature has just been added to version 2.1.0 of the app: the ability to backup (export and import) configurations from and into files. The files can be saved anywhere and imported into the app at a later time to restore your configurations.
