Yeah, it's unfortunately poorly documented, but I think it should be possible to use the web interface for API purposes. I also just did a Google search and found this tweak that is open source, still no docs but at least it's less work. As for proprietary hardware, sorry to say it, but you'll have to either own an Apple device or virtualize macOS on an x86 machine. iMessage isn't open-source, and macOS isn't designed to run on a Pi.
t interesting. This is the link to the official iMessage Bridging Server GitHub repo: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-imessagNo problem, I‘m glad you found the project interesting. This is the link to the official iMessage Bridging Server GitHub repo: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-imessage
Actually, that gives me an idea. Unicorn Engine (https://github.com/unicorn-engine/unicorn) is FOSS and claims to be able to emulate many CPU architectures like x86. Do you think it could be possible to just run a regular Hackintosh setup through Unicorn Engine‘s x86 emulator? Definitely it would be very slow, and there is chance that it will just not work, but that would make the process fairly easy as Hackintosh setup is pretty well documented. Though I have to admit that I only just found Unicorn Engine and I can find almost no documentation for it other than on their github. I would be a bit skeptical of unicorn engine, but do you think that this could be possible?
But won’t QEMU create an x86 system emulation that you could virtualize MacOS from instead of Unicorn Engine, or is it just a cpu emulator as well? Their site said as long as you use a 64-bit OS (which my pi 4 8gb could do) you can emulate x86. Or am I just misunderstanding how these emulators work? To me it seems like that would work, just using QEMU (if the pi is strong enough which is a big if).
