So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?
Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy
You are viewing a single comment
Iirc the entire app is open-source, you can prob strip out the subscription parts and build it yourself
The original work/PoC they based it off of is PyPush and that definitely has a GitHub here: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush
If you can't/don't do the work, you'll have to wait, something will come along eventually but that app just came out the other day
That's just the proof of concept, there is a lot of work and infrastructure besides that code. You can read a more in depth explanation of how it works on their blog

Yea I know it's a PoC, It's work, but not that much work...if you have the skill set lol
I was actually digging into JJTechs project a bit, I'm planning on building something of my own, but my version is going to try to tap into Androids messaging service instead so that I can use any SMS app I wish.
The idea being my service will be a translation layer of sorts instead of an independent app that I have to switch too.
It's SSPL, so source available, not open source.
This is great news, thanks!
