TL;DR

Beeper Mini, the app that promised seamless iMessage chats on Android, has come up with a new workaround after Apple clamped down on its core functionality. The new method requires users to have access to a Mac in order to send "registration data" from an Apple-made desktop or laptop. Beeper Mini's previous method used its own fleet of Mac servers, but Apple targeted this approach.

Users without a Mac can ask a friend to use their Apple computer for validation. Beeper is also open-sourcing its iMessage bridge and the Mac code for generating registration data.
