If you ’re one of those rare sort who use a Mac but pair it with anAndroid phonerather than an iPhone , the shaper of Beeper Mini app have some great news – you might actually be able to get its iMessage clone to work soon .
Yes ! The app whichsuccessfully reverse engineered iMessageto give Android drug user their precious blue bubbles and a master of ceremonies of other perks without an iPhone , could have found a way to get aroundApple ’s distaste for it . Just get yourself a Mac , or get yourself a friend with a Mac . outstanding tidings for those who make a witting effort to opt out of Apple ’s ecosystem and walled garden , but still want the benefits of Apple engineering like iMessage .
“ We ’ve found a solution to stabilize the iMessage situation for Beeper Cloud and Mini , ” the company wrote on itsofficial subreddit(via9to5Google ) .
“ It works well , and , in our testing , is very reliable . The only downside is that the solution requires you to have access to a Mac computer , or have a booster on Beeper with a Mac . ”
The need for the result is because Apple cottoned onto the fact the developer was using its own fleet of Macs for the use of registering for the app . That came a cropper because thousands of Beeper substance abuser ended up using the same enrollment data point , which raised security red flags .
Apparently , it “ has proven to be an easy target for Apple ” as if Apple is n’t looking out for the interests of its own users and proprietary engineering science by objecting to Beeper ’s macrocosm .
However , by using 1:1 single-valued function of registration information and individual Macs / Apple IDs should get around it , for now . From that item on , the registration should n’t set off any warning machine Melville Bell at Apple HQ , beyond the ones that have visualize the app shut out down before .
“ Tomorrow , we ’ll publish an update for Beeper Cloud ( Mac version ) that bring forth unique registration datum just for you . This 1:1 mapping of enrolment datum to single substance abuser — in our examination — makes the connexion very reliable , ” the society added .
“ If you use Beeper Mini , you may use your Mac registration data with it as well , and Beeper Mini will start out to mold again . Beeper needs to periodically regenerate this datum even after you ’ve associate , roughly once per workweek or calendar month , so the Mac needs to switched on regularly . ”
Does this sound like it ’s worth the hassle ? Well , possibly to some Android users with severe binge iMessage enviousness . Otherwise , probably not .
Even if the makers of Beeper Mini ca n’t get a workings resolution that gets pass Apple ’s eagle - eyed IP lawyers , the efforts might get about variety it desire .
The way Apple promptly got Beeper Mini shut down initially has alerted rivalry governor in the EU . The oddment result might be Apple having to open up iMessage anyway , despite throw Android users a os by promising to assume RCS messaging next year .
