I have been developing an app with codenameOne which uses the sendSMS [Display.getInstance().sendSMS("number","message", false);] to send SMS messages in the background but now it's stopped working on Android.
It continues to work well on iOS where it always launches the mobile message app and I can also get it to launch the message app in Android but the ability to send the message in the background would be preferred.
I have attempted to add permission to the build hints using key [android.xpermissions] and value [uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"] but now when sending a SMS it always launches the messaging app instead of sending in the background.
Has something changed server side when compiling the apk that now prevents this functionality? Is there a workaround for this or is there something I am missing to get the background SMS sending to work?
