Using the app to send SMS for other purposes

[StCyr]

Hello, I'm looking for an app to send SMS for other purposes than logging in.

It looks like this app would do the trick if I could use the OCA\Service\Gateay\SMS\Gateway class from other apps.

I know using classes from the OCA namespace is generaly not advised but, hey, what are my other choices? ;-)

You can use this class but if this class is modified, maybe can break your code.

A solution is contributing with development of this app making the code base best and more stable.

Yes, I can help maintaining this app.

The question is how can I do anything better than using the class from the OCA namespace? I think the only solution is to create an interface in the OCP namespace (hence in nextcloud/server). Am I right?

[vitormattos]

I think that creating an interface in the OCP namespace will be hardy. Imagine the scenario when all app need to implement interface on server repository?

The problem is that you will need follow and help to development of this app to maintain him compatible with your app.
