You don't really need to do that if you want to intercept Meta apps traffic.

This only works on Android, we had no interest in intercepting the Android application.
Out of interest, why not? I've needed to reverse engineer APIs in the past and using Android apps was always much easier so we always did that when the APIs were available.
Since the Messenger Application on desktop is much closer to the usage model of the Texts.com client. We want to replicate the desktop client as closely as possible. It can be assumed there’s going to be properties that are unique to the desktop client and vice versa.
