Stopped working with 10.10.4 (14E26a)

[mogilner]

I have been using this fix for a long time and has been working great.

After installing the newest beta that came out today. The fix is no longer working.

I am getting the "Unable to build JSON Object from JSON string error"

If you need anything from me to help troubleshoot this, please let me know.

I have reinstalled both Easy SIMBL and also the fix itself. I also know about making sure to check USE SIMBL after each update.

Here is the error message I now get.

I am getting the same 404 error on 10.10.3.

Looks like Google removed the API. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[Fofer]

Uh oh.

Strangely notable however, is that it's still working for me. I'm on OS X 10.10.3.

I just left myself a message, refreshed GrowlVoice (with GVFixer via EasySIMBL enabled, obviously) and the voicemail message appeared there.

[d235j]

Quit and reopen the app and it won't work anymore.

Sean Kovacs (author of GV Mobile+) seems to be saying the same thing: https://twitter.com/seankovacs/status/603294454141825024

[Fofer]

Indeed. This is a sad day. GrowlVoice on the Mac, and GV Mobile+ on iPhone, were the only ways I enjoyed checking for my voicemail.

Now Google's killed those off... is my only option to use Hangouts?

Yuck.

[Fofer]

In the meantime I have fired up my old Fluid (http://fluidapp.com) SSB standalone app, that pointed to this URL: https://www.google.com/voice/m?uipref=1#~voice:s=inbox&l=inbox ...and pinned it to my OS X menu bar.

It's ugly, and I don't get notifications... but for the most part, it works.

[Fofer]

Now Sean Kovacs (author of GV Mobile+) claims to have figured out a workaround: https://twitter.com/seankovacs/status/603395739964801024

[Monkpie]

I'm so ready for a workaround. Let's have it :)

[d235j]

Unfortunately the workaround would require lots of effort for a runtime patch :(

[Monkpie]

Perhaps it's fitting that the death of GrowlVoice has come so close to Memorial Day. Thank you for your efforts d235j.

Just to summarize the alternatives that are currently available:

1. The fluid.app arrangement (mentioned by Fofer in this post).
2. The google voice extension for chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-voice-by-google/kcnhkahnjcbndmmehfkdnkjomaanaooo?hl=en)
3. The google hangouts extension for chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd?hl=en)

If anyone else has a better idea, please post!

[Fofer]

Using any web browser to visit https://voice.google.com still works, too.

[hagure]

Ah, this is what I was afraid of……the day has finally come.

RIP GrowlVoice ＿|￣|○

Going back to chrome extension & Fluid SSB I suppose.
