imessageclient

When I saw there were loads of tools made for automating everything from iMessage to Mail through OpenClaw, I decided it would be neat to have a brand new app that lets you send messages from an SSH console. The work is based on steipete's imsg (https://github.com/steipete/imsg), and is a spiritual successor to things like CamHenlin's imessageclient (https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient)).

Yes it is possible https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient Or if you don't mind disabling SIP https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/imessage/mac-nosip/setup.html

I even have some older projects in this space: https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient https://github.com/CamHenlin/iMessageWebClient https://github.com/CamHenlin/iMessageModule

I've been doing this for years with some of my own personal projects like https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient, https://github.com/CamHenlin/iMessageWebClient, and https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessagebot and some others - one thing that I'll note is that in my experience, Apple is pretty aggressive and somewhat arbitrary at banning accounts from accessing iMessages if they get on to the service from a VM - even if your usage is normal, personal iMessaging. I was trying out using VMWare and virtualbox specifically. In fact, I've been accidentally successful at getting my computer and home network banned from Apple services by accessing iMessages via VM. I strongly recommend running these types of services on bare metal Macs although ymmv.

Cool! Very nice project. I wrote some similar iMessage related clients here: https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient - this is a terminal based one that works over ssh https://github.com/CamHenlin/iMessageWebClient - this is a web based client that I used to do iMessages on a windows phone for quite a while And I have some more iMessage related projects on my GitHub as well. Hopefully these projects give you or others some more ideas for iMessage related stuff

For those of you who, like me, might want to use this on older hardware, I got an error on launch on Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion: https://github.com/CamHenlin/imessageclient/issues/2 Just thought I'd mention it here in case others are thinking of trying this out on Mountain Lion. Edit: CamHenlin has already committed a fix for this problem. Nice work!
