Beeper Mini is officially no more.
The developer is calling it quits in trying to find new workarounds for bringing iMessage toAndroiddevices.
It admits that it just cant win a cat-and-mouse game with the largest company on Earth.
Its just not worth the hassle anymore.
They would rather move on.
The final workaround
There is a final workaroundavailable although it is very convoluted.
You plug the iPhone into the computer then run certain commands in the Terminal tool.
You will need to install an app called Palera1n along the way.
Then and only then, will you be able to use the service as intended.
That’s the basic rundown.
We glossed over a lot of the more elaborate steps involving Palera1n.
appears otherwise the workaround presumably fails.
Beeper doesnt explain why you’re gonna wanna disconnect the rig.
As we said earlier, this whole thing is convoluted.
Prices range from $30 to $60.
Or you might rent one for several dollars per month.
You will however need to sign up and fill out aspecial form on the developers websitebefore renting or buying.
But if there is enough interest, Beeper will extend the program into the new year.
This solution, as crazy as it may seem, is the final method.
IfAppledecides to block it, the developer says it wont make another.
Again, its not worth the hassle in their eyes.
Goodbye, Beeper Mini; we hardly knew ye.
