Got it. Thank you! I'm still not quite understanding how the auth/anon stanza allow a bot to send camera images. Could you please explain this? |

In 2016, modded Kiks were becoming very popular, the main feature back then was to send fake camera messages. Kik did not like this, so they implemented a patch to check the xml to make sure it matched exactly what a real client should, and if it fails, it will change camera messages to gallery messages. It was dubbed the "fake camera patch". It quickly backfired in my opinion, because it let people know that modified applications were detectable. The check was defeated soon after, and Kik lost a way to stealthily detect modified applications. |

Thank you! Do you know the correct way to code the xml so that it can't be detected? |

Hello!
Do you know of any way to override the Kik camera tag using this repo? Can the data be edited so that it looks as if a photo was sent from a camera?
Thank you!
