Summary
Adds a periodic polling fallback to the iMessage database listener while keeping the existing
fs.watchpath for low-latency delivery.The listener already had a
db_poll_intervalconfig default, but the active listener path only reacted to filesystem change events forchat.db/chat.db-wal. On macOS, those events can be missed or delayed even when Messages has committed new rows. When that happens, BlueBubbles does not emitnew-messageand no FCM notification is sent until a client later runs an incremental sync.What changed
pollIntervalMsand a timer toIMessageListener.handleChangeEventpath so watcher events and interval polls share the same lock, lookback, cache trimming, and duplicate-event protection.stop().db_poll_intervalconfig.Local verification
Reproduced on macOS with an Android BlueBubbles client:
~/Library/Messages/chat.db, but the server did not logNew Messageor send FCM until the Android app later queried/api/v1/message/query.New Message from +*******9008, "Hello"[FCMService] Sending FCM notification (Priority: high) to 1 device(s)Received event of type new-message from Socket.ioReceived new message of type new-message from FCMcom.bluebubbles.new_messageswith tagcom.bluebubbles.messaging.NEW_MESSAGE_NOTIFICATION.Build verification:
