There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works
www.theverge.com
The question is how long Apple will let it.

• A new Android app called Beeper Mini allows users to send iMessages as blue bubbles from non-Apple devices.

• Beeper Mini bypasses traditional iMessage hacks by directly sending iMessages from Android devices.

• The app has been praised for its smooth functionality, sending messages seamlessly between Android and iPhone users.

    Yeah I know I was referring to the notifications, because my understanding is that you need a separate server to forward notifications to your device from the APN…? Idk maybe the firebase free tier can handle this without the need for a desktop app running somewhere.

      Notifications are generated after the message is pulled from Apple’s servers to your device.

      The push messages just tell your device a message is available to be pulled. It doesn’t contain any message contents or metadata.

      It’s basically just “you have a new message waiting” and then your phone will ping Apple’s server to request the message.
