Redactions & deletions from the iMessage side of the bridge only work partly

[Philantrop]

I've tested redactions and deletions using the artifact from bae4fc5, available at https://mau.dev/mautrix/imessage/-/jobs/45698/artifacts/browse

Test Results

Test Case	Expected Result	Observed Result	Pass/Fail
1	Text message redacted on Matrix side	Text message redacted on Matrix side	Pass
2	Image deleted on Matrix side	Image deleted on Matrix side	Pass
3	Edited message deleted on Matrix side	Edited message deleted on Matrix side	Pass
4	Text message redacted on iMessage side	The Matrix side still shows the unredacted message.	Fail
5	Image deleted on iMessage side	The image is never deleted on the Matrix side.	Fail
6	Edited message deleted on iMessage side	Edited message deleted on iMessage side	Pass

The respective log entries follow ("[email protected]" is a redaction for privacy):

Is this happening on the latest BlueBubbles Server version, 1.9.6?

[Philantrop]

Yes, indeed.

5 Image deleted on iMessage side The image is never deleted on the Matrix side. Fail

This issue appears to be an upstream problem with BlueBubbles. I'm gonna file an issue on their repo.

4 Text message redacted on iMessage side The Matrix side still shows the unredacted message. Fail

I'm unable to reproduce it with what you have included, if you're still able to cause the problem add a comment with more info.

The bridge contains another problem though in that messages edited by oneself in iMessage or BlueBubbles are not updated in Beeper. Because it functions right in BlueBubbles, this may be an issue in the bridge in unintentionally ignoring an updated message event. I'll continue looking into this.

To avoid confusion for anyone who did not see us clarifying it: I say "redacted" and you say "edited" but we both mean the same thing. :-)
