Comment on Beeper Mini Is Back
qwrty@lemmy.world 6 months agoConsidering they directly communicate with Apples servers and make money from that…
But, isn’t that what APIs do? Why would that get Beeper in legal trouble if they are paying their license fee? I’m not being facetious, genuinely curious.

There is no public iMessage API that people can pay to use. Beeper (or rather the code it’s based on) reverse-engineered the iMessage protocol and server APIs and they simply make the same requests as the iMessage app on iOS would.
