Scheduled messages feature in Messages App sends messages immediately instead of scheduling

• /e/ version: 2.5-t
• Device model(s): beyond2lte
• Developer mode enabled: yes
• Device rooted: no
• Trackers blocker enabled: yes

Summary

The Messages app fails to correctly execute the scheduled messages feature as expected. Instead, it sends messages immediately in a non-scheduled manner.

The Problem

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Messages app.
2. Tap the menu and select "Scheduled messages."
3. Tap the "+" icon to send a new scheduled message.
4. Select a contact.
5. Write and send a message.

What is the Current Behavior?

After selecting a contact, the app opens the usual conversation screen for the contact instead of showing a form to schedule the message. Messages written and sent from this screen are delivered immediately as non-scheduled messages.

What is the Expected Correct Behavior?

After selecting a contact:

1. The app should show an empty conversation view with the contact, alongside a form to schedule the message.
2. The message should be scheduled for delivery at the specified time instead of being sent immediately.
