Google kicks out popular open source app(s) with fake excuses
- rdslw 7y agoWe need your help. Google is doing evil :( Google is sending in June messages about limiting access (read NO access) to some apps using oauth accessing gmail. Of course under privacy pretext, and of course they won't do this is apps 'comply' and udnergo verification process. Currently it hit (among others) very popular sms backup + (https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus) app which allows to backup and restore calls metadata and sms (with content) to gmail. Develeoper of the app complied and submited app for verification process, but of course it was denied by Google. Whole verification process announced from them is another corporate mambo-jumbo = read lie. Google guys, please help from inside. Why your company is doing this? p.s. it does not applies only to gsuite, but to all gmail.
- YMJH 7y agoI'd like to upvote this so jberkel can be allowed a solution. I (and many, many others) do not want SMS Backup+ to end.
- giampaolo44 7y agoHave been using this app for 10 years, and it's precious open source stuff. It would be rather silly and unfair to let this go.
- eoxaal 7y agoSMS Backup+ is a wonderful app, not only to backup sms messages, but also by creating a searchable archive of sms-es in your Gmail account. Why on earth kill off such a useful and popular app for no good reason at all???
- woodgeorgel 7y agoI use SMS Backup+ because Google doesn't have a native way to do this. Now they take it away? Very lame of Google.
