Gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect: SMS Message history incorrect

[AngusLogan02]

Describe the bug
SMS Message history on the left panel (last text sent/received) is correct, but when I click on the contact, it shows the same message from Snapchat confirming my code for every single one of my contacts.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to messages
2. Click on a contact
3. See that the message is the same for every contact

Expected behavior
SMS history is different for everyone.

HI, thanks for the report.

I think this is similar to #378 and caused by a bug in the Contacts plugin, which had some problems with some unicode usernames and non-numeric phone numbers. If you have meson and git, GSConnect is easy to install from master which I believe has fixed this:

git clone https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect.git
meson gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/ _build
ninja -C _build install-zip

Unfortunately there won't be another official release until after I get a new computer :( But master has been very stable for long time now, so it's usually safe to build straight from there.

hi,
I got the same issue with debian sid.

Not sure if it's related to this issue, but to you previous post :
After ninja -C _build install-zip and restart gnome-shell, when i try to open the GSconnect configuration windows :
