Google is silently blocking RCS messages on rooted Android phones and custom ROMs
(www.androidauthority.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
well, so far none of the third party SMS apps have implemented RCS support, and when asked, every developer replies that they need Google to open their standard for other clients to use, so I guess they've been doing a pretty good job at stopping everyone else.
Have they given a reason why the specifically not able to do it, or do they just not want to do it because it's "unlicensed" or "out of spec" if it's just the second option then it's a problem of having unwilling people and not a real entry barrier.
If there's an actual barrier to developing something like that it's important to understand what it is.
yes, every time the reason given was Google not opening their API to the public.
