Hey im trying to implement this code but it wont work, could it be that this is impossible in newer android versions?

@Cunibon I'm sorry to say that I don't know, android often updating their spec and API on the newer version, especially permission issue.. I haven't touched Unity and Android in the last couple of years, I'll check and let let you know if I have the time

@rmdwirizki that would be great. I've been trying to get an answer on reddit or stackoverflow for months now didnt expect to actually get an answer here 👍

Don't forget to go to your app in android and give permission to the app to send SMS. It will solve a lot of issues.
