not quite what the parent comment was referring to - AirMessage is cool but needs a server Mac to run 24/7.

parent is asking if it’s possible to spoof the secure identifiers from the Mac in Beeper - extracting the secure IDs, inputting them into Beeper - at which point Beeper can communicate directly with Apple as if it is that Mac.

a clever workaround!

Precisely! Would be a cool workaround & I would be completely happy with this approach (vs losing access all together).

But I wonder if that’d even be possible. I hope someone from the Beeper team sees this!

I was using this before beeper and switched to beeper since I could also use WhatsApp on my iPad. Worked just fine on an old otherwise unused MacBook Air I keep in my garage. I only used airmessage for iMessage on windows
