Should probably be a new permission added to the entire Apps Framework for message deletion that has to be explicitly declared and then on the UI we display a warning that the app can remove messages?

Hey, if you could guide me as to which files to look for this feature I can work on it in an another PR as this one solves for only when a messageID is provided.

Hi @kulkarnigaurav38 Thanks for the contribution :1st_place_medal: This is indeed a useful tool to have on apps-engine, so, I'd be happy to assist you to get this feature released :smile:

From what I see here, there are 2 things that we'd need to get this feature to work

1. Firstly, we'd need to add a method to delete the message on the core Repo. (Hint: Look into this file). Please mention the core repo PR in this PR once it's ready.
2. Next, as Bradley suggested, we'd perhaps need to add new permission for apps to use this particular feature. For this, we'd need to make changes on both Apps-engine and the core Repo. (For inspiration, you can look into how existing read, write permission works on Messages in this file on Apps-Engine & then just update the core repo's JSON file with the user-friendly message about what the permission is for, like this)

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hey man! No worries at all, I only pinged you since the release cut was scheduled on 21st Feb. Don't feel any pressure to do this right now in the middle of your exams. We can make this part of the release next month. All the best :+1:

Hi @kulkarnigaurav38 There was a permission issue with this PR where the new delete permission wasn't getting applied while using the new delete message method from apps. So I added that fix over #507 Feel free to apply the change on this PR & we can close that if you want & keep this as the main PR
