The people of Cupertino are doing everything they can to block the service that is crashing on their servers, and now they are the ones who will win.
Beeper, which integrates different chat platforms, recently launched the Beeper Mini app, which allows you to send iMessages even from an Android phone, so that they also appear in a blue bubble on the receiving end, unlike simple SMSs that pop up in green.
The California-based operator achieved this by connecting to Apple’s servers, which naturally did not please the residents of Cupertino, so they shut down the application after a few days, citing security risks. However, the story is not over yet.
the 9to5Google Based on his report As a strange game of cat and mouse unfolded between Apple and Beeper: In the last few days, Apple has made the Beeper Mini and Beeper Cloud services unavailable several times, but the developers have always managed to get them back up and running more or less successfully.
At the time of writing, Tim Cook is on the cusp of winning, as Eric Migicowski, co-founder of Beeper, announced in a message that during the latest intervention, Apple has already managed to ban 60% of users on Beeper Mini and Beeper Cloud, which runs the chat app. Global. However, the team does not give up and continues working on the fix.

We can’t predict who will eventually tire out first, but the story is eerily reminiscent of the give-and-take that has occurred between YouTube, which has been disabling ad blockers, and its developers in recent months.
