Google Messages doesn’t work on Android 14 Beta

The Android 14 Beta can now be used on compatible Google Pixels, but it seems that there are problems with the Google Messages application that is preventing its users from using it, with all that this entails. Apparently, there are several problems combining into one, Well, while Android light theme users can’t even open the app, dark theme users can, but with severe limitations.

For example, with the dark themethe application only displays black garbled text and closes, while, with the theme clear, the application does not load anything, or in the worst case, it does not even open, somewhat problematic as it is the default Android messaging application.
