I, unfortunately, have sent spam messages via iMessage a long time ago. I did it by faking a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to an iPhone and starts typing out phone numbers and addresses fed from a computer. I did it to mass-send a message to about a couple hundred people.



That’s decent rate limiting.


Desktop macs have i message too, so a determined spammer could just make a bunch of mac vms. Getting a valid serial with an unconfirmed purchase date is a massive pain, though.


It worked for me as soon as I upgraded my Hackintosh to Catalina. I had an invalid serial number and board ID. Not sure why it suddenly worked.


Interesting, go figure. Maybe it's something about the upgrade process? I made a fresh one on catalina and had a mess of a time getting it to work.
