Create Chat/Send Text to SMS Target

[JUSTINMKAUFMAN]

First of all, I am able to send SMS from the Messages app on the Mac where the server is running.

The issue I am seeing is:
When sending the first message to a new SMS target (i.e. one with no iMessage availability)...
it attempts to send it via iMessage...
immediately returns a success response to the client...
but actually fails to deliver the message...
and never emits a message send error webhook or anything.

If I go into the Messages app, click the red ! and click 'Retry as Text Message', it works and then all subsequent send requests to that contact work perfectly via SMS.

Normally I call Create Chat when sending the initial message to a new contact (this works for iMessage at least), but I have also tried skipping this and just calling the Send Text method for SMS targets (manually constructing the chatGuid as SMS;-;+{phone}.

Has anyone else experienced and/or solved this?

I used to always have this issue the only way I could get it to work was use my Iphone or Mac mini to start new messages and once done could send no probs. This was to start any new iMessage to Iphones or sms to Androids via bluebubbles app on Android. Never had to hit retry, but honestly never tried that. I would assume it would have I just never got that far because I want to say i just deleted on bluebubbles app and tried my route before I did what your route has been. But around 2 months ago I got a new problem. Have you ran into this and if not does anyone reading possibly have the solution? It just really sux to have to carry both phones. Main reason is why I installed bluebubbles to begin with. I would honestly sale the iphone if I could get this to work. Can't really carry around the mac mini. LOL Started to receive this message on send to other android users via bluebubbles app on my android.

But 2 months ago I started to get Failed to create chat reason (server error) - null
Before I didn't get error as a popup window. I would just see it inside the message like a failed android sms. I read other forms saying api was the issue, but....

I have all green in app on android and on mac mini server Private API Status Connected: YES

API connection: Connected
Socket Connection: Connected
Private API Status: Enabled
Private API Helper Bundle Status: Connected

Just started this about 2 months ago. Never seen this since installation on day one a few years back. I have changed proxy setup just to see by chance as well which pretty sure that has nothing to do with api. By chance has anyone else just running across this problem? TY
