TL;DR

Beeper, the chat app that aimed to bring iMessage support to Android devices, has announced that it is ending its cat-and-mouse game with Apple. After multiple fixes and workarounds, Beeper has released what it believes to be a solution that Apple can tolerate. The latest workaround involves pairing a mobile device with a Mac or an old iPhone. However, if Apple blocks this final fix, Beeper Mini will no longer be able to provide iMessage support. Beeper will continue to focus on its primary chat app and aims to become the "best chat app on Earth."
